Beard gone, so Easter must have arrived

The award winning barganews photographer O’Connor has (at least) two faces. The summer face as he rushes around Barga with his trusty Canon camera slung across his shoulder and the more hairy version when he habitually grows a beard from Halloween through the winter to the following Easter. The residents of Barga have over the years got used to seeing the bewhiskered version during the cold weather followed by the clean shaven O’ Connor once the warm weather arrives. The tradition that has gradually evolved is that by Easter the beard comes off. The only variance comes of course in the fact that Easter is a movable feast – coming the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox, so that it can be anywhere between March 22nd to April 25th.
Check out the images below as the beard came off.
April fool’s day was 9 days ago so it it far too late for any of that kind of monkey business BUT, does it look to you like that beard was actually a fake beard ?
It looks as though it was stuck on with glue or something …. does it not ?
