Favicon…

Taken in January 2016, Toby looking at my newest & best-est friend i received, for another milestone birthday…

I have been asked numerous times over the last few years where my Favicon came from (- favorite icon -)

So what is a Favicon ? Well, it’s a chosen photo, artwork, logo, or anything that describes you, and best of all, it follows you everywhere you go on the internet. Cool huh? I started using them in 2015, a bit of a late starter, but hey, I’m not perfect.

This Favicon started when my coven (-i have three & not the recommended thirteen- made up of my wife, & two daughters-) all three went to a flower show three years ago, they spotted a company making wall signs when they asked the question could a custom one be made, the answer came back as “yes” they sat down there and then, designed it, came home emailed the photos of me & Toby, Metal Detecting near an ancient well; With the photo being represented perfectly, with the ducks, dragonfly, the trees and the tractor ploughing in the background…

Five weeks later & a laser cut artwork arrived, made from a disused “wood saw blade” it arrived, in plenty of time as my Father’s day gift, got a nice weight to it but was not that heavy & “Hey” look at me now, immortalised in a piece of artwork, & as this was a father’s day gift, it was a fantastic & most unusual gift of me out in a field with my detecting partner Toby, ( well it could have been anyone really, as i really don’t dress like that, “to much” it turned out the use of a generic detectorist from the internet was easier to copy… -) so as they say, the rest is history… Find the Favicon, and you will know what i am up to or doing, i can run, but i cannot hide…

It represents Toby well as he was a barrel-chested Cocker Spaniel – me though -mmmm…
