Hello there, and welcome along to this weeks Beardie Blog!
I hope you’ve all recovered from the Easter weekend, and I hope the Easter Bunny was generous to you.
Well, the donations have dried up again, perhaps I need to go on holiday again.
I need to mention the Blue Cross this week. Not the Animal Welfare Charity, but the Blue Cross Sale at Debenhams. In my contribution to getting the country, no, the world out of recession, I have bought a new coat in the sale, and my lovely wife, Sam, has dubbed me “Beardie Weirdie Anorak Boy”, so here’s the evidence:

The 17th April is a very special day in our family. Today we celebrate two special birthdays, both my daughter Erin, and my sister Nic have birthdays today, so Happy Birthday girlies!
That neatly brings us onto this weeks “Beard of the Week”, or rather “Beards of the Week”. Erin and Nic have agreed to don false beards, and become my first female Beardies.

Welcome to a special issue of the Beardie Weirdie Blog!
Today, 20th February is my 33rd birthday! One third of a century! (save a few of months). I started a tradition when I started working to never work on my birthday. In that theme, I have taken a couple of days off to kick back at home with the wife and kids. It’s half term in Bedfordshire this week, so it’s been pretty good timing.
The birthday will involve a lazy morning, featuring a lie in, and lots of tea and crumpets, somewhere tasty for lunch, then family visitors later on in the day. Perfect!
The credit crunch is in full flow now, the initial flurry of donations have dried up. I think some guerilla marketing might be in order…… More on that later on.
I had my first outing for work this week, and my good friend Oakers suggested that a suited and booted Beardie might make a good Kodak moment, so here it is! This photo was taken by my lovely wife, Sam, on Tuesday night on my return from Camberley.

Swiftly moving along, this weeks Beard of the Week, suggested by my sister Nic, is Steve Cropper. Famous to most for his roll in the Blues Brothers, but Steve Cropper is an incredible guitar player. I’d recommend looking him up on You Tube.
