Blessed Relief

The cliché goes that when people end a long term relationship they often change their appearance. Women especially will often cut their hair or change their style for a "new start". As for me? I've inadvertently grown a beard. Unfortunately, after so long, I would love to be sporting an impressive Brian Blessed look, but it's gone a bit more Adrian Chiles. So, it's got to go. As I post, I've had my first shave of 2010 and that's probably a good thing. Today's photo is bizarre - a fright for many of you, an unconventional souvenir for me.
