Staring down into the phone camera on a grey sky day, my grey/white beard and hair ruffling in the wind, my petrol blue thick woollen jumper with high collar unbuttoned to reveal glimpse of blue shirt collar and blue t-shirt neck beneath, with tangled bare branches of a cherry tree immediately behind and above, and further back the sparse pale green foliage of a different tree.

Very cold and quite windy today. The wind caught my beard and I love the sensation when it pulls on my face.
I remember the first time I ever felt that, standing on the swaying deck of a ship leaving Plymouth on a grey day just like today.
My first beard was dark with a white flash down my chin. Now my old man's beard is all white and soft, but that pull in the wind feels the same as it always did. I feel alive.
