You have such a good sense of humor. I laughed at "Golliwog". I'll bet you're still beautiful. And I love your Wheaton Terrier. What an adorable face! Do like Diva. She wraps a pretty scarf around her hair, twists it around, and tucks it in...lovely.

Thank you, I I agree with you about Diva. My face was not made for scarves or hats. Which is sad, because I love hats.

There's a mole on the right side of my chin. Being self-conscious of it I asked my doctor, when I was about twenty or so, if it could be surgically removed. My doctor said it could but removing it can run the risk of hormonal problems, she then added, why don't you grow a beard? Taking doctor's advice, I grew a beard. It was a part of my appearance for the best part of forty years, but when the white whiskers started to appear, I shaved it off.

My original removal intention was down to vanity, the white whiskers would make me look like Santa, that's why I shaved it off. Vain,or what?

I think men with short white beards (with mustaches) look kinda sexy HC. And don't let them be bald. OMG!! :love:

You are so pretty. I love the scarf. I love hats, too. I look terrible in both.

Thank you so much WL. I'm willing to bet (and I'm not a betting woman) that you short change yourself. It boils down to finding the right style for hats and scarves. It took me several tries before finding what looked good, believe me. BTW...I absolutely LOVE seeing people with curly hair.

I think my mother made it up, because we are so pale. Unless the British use it. My mother learned British English. Until I moved to Boston, where there are a lot of people of Irish extraction, I never saw people who were fish belly white, except for us. My entire life, when I am proud of a deep tan, no one believes I have one, unless I show them the color of my stomach compared to my arm. Even now, my arm is a lot darker than my stomach.

I would love it !! I love to shop. Re; your other post about the origin of "fish belly white" and your tan. My husband was a complexion that confused people. He was a light caramel color brown (considered "light skinned" by our folks). One day we went to an upscale shoe store and he was trying on shoes. Somehow his sock came off. He was sitting next to a White man who also didn't have on socks. My husband's feet were whiter than his. LOL He was out and about so much that his exposed skin was darker than the rest of him.

The shirt and trousers are bespoke, made by my talented wife. The shoes are also bespoke, look up Colin Johnson. The hat is also hand made, the size of my loaf, it has to be. (Loaf of bread, head. Cockney rhyming slang.) The blazer is an original 1930's jacket that I bought from a trader at The Goodwood Revival. The bicycle is another old model, older than me even. It's very useful for exercising the new hip.
One word Gary?
Ancient!
 
Horseless been meaning to ask if you have bumped into a bloke by the name of Antill?

The name is not familiar, but if he's a regular at the popular retro events, chances are we have crossed paths.
