Fatherhood²: The Clothes Pose that he Chose

Posted on October 26, 2014January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

IMG_2185The lovely people at House of Fraser recently wrote to me to ask if I’d like to pick some clothes out for the kids, from their latest collection. They’re apparently doing a project called ‘Dressed by Dad’ (sounds like a recipe for disaster, if my own dress sense is anything to go by!) and let me pick out some items for the boys which we were then sent in the post.

Being a nerd (and a dad), I naturally chose a Star Wars shirt amongst a few other Christmassy items (I’ll share those a bit closer to the time, lest I get called-out for starting my Christmas celebrations too early) and Robert was desperate to wear it today – always a good sign.

Being a good blogger, I asked him to pose for a picture – which started out simply, but then turned into a catalogue-esque photo shoot with hilarious results. Rather than just share the ‘sensible’ shot, I thought I’d share a selection of the poses he pulled, for your entertainment.

My favourite was the Usain Bolt “pointy fingers” one, but they are all pretty impressive!

Some lovely sunrises, lots of ice on the canal and a couple of rivers and lakes that were quickly merging together, at the expense of the newly-laid track. At least my wellies stayed strong!

One good thing to come from this week’s rail strikes (and the subsequent week WFH) was my daily sunrise walks - something I really miss when I have to go into London. Fingers crossed that 2023 allows for a few more of them.
