It’s my forty-sixth birthday today. Forty-six! Blimey. To mark the occasion, my old pal, Phill Hosking, dropped by the house today with a card – and inside the card, Phill’s portrait-come-caricature of yours truly – grey of beard, generous-of-nose and cosy-looking in my new yellow Christmas scarf. What a nice surprise – thank you, Phill!
Happy Birthday Phil!! What a perfect wonderful gift! Also, I am super jealous of that gorgeous yellow scarf 😍

Great portrait, Happy Birthday Phil, personally I think you look better in a “Ruff”
Best wishes

Haha! Thank you 😀 I think, with your permission, the ‘other portrait’ to which you refer should make a ‘Throwback Friday’ appearance at some point – with all due credit given, of course! Meanwhile, at the grand old age of 46 looking ‘ruff’ is coming increasingly easy to me!

The artist himself! Thanks for this, Phill – it was nice surprise… though by ‘the essence’ you mean ‘big nose, big beard’?! 😀
