NO MO

I previously posted a pic of my incipient mo - grown for Movember.  Many people asked me why I was growing it, so I guess I achieved the purpose of raising awareness for prostate cancer.  But I was also touched that so many people also then said that they would sponsor me.  In the end I raised £100, which I shall donate appropriately.

But I was also growing it for Charlie.  And as soon as I shaved it off, sadly he passed away.  For some reason that affected me as much as his death.

The purpose is of course to raise awareness and, since so many people have asked what it's for, that aim has easily been achieved!  But I was surprised that, having explained, several people offered to sponsor me.  So I now have 6 sponsors!

Today we visited Cerne Abbas, because I had heard that the Cerne Abbas giant had also sprouted a mo for Movember.  Unfortunately, you can't see it from my pic.

At least, I don't think that's a moustache.  So here's a pic from the newspaper:
