Did any of you know that today, 21st February, is this young, strapping, mans birthday??
I didn't until a few days ago!!
Now it might be his birthday but lets be honest.....Anyone else a little annoyed that he tried to keep this quiet? I know I am! Shame on you Al!
OK, telling off over and done with, Happy Birthday Mate!!
Now I took a little nose around Al's lovely Blog The Dad Network and I was lucky enough to find this lovely description of him:
"Al Ferguson is the spritely age of 26 and lives in Kent in the UK. He is married to his gorgeous wife (and hot mum), Jen and now has a brand new baby boy called Ted. Al is the founder & editor of The Dad Network. He really likes sports, eating and mountains!"
I thought I would take a moment just to look at this description. Well, we can now assume he is 27 today. Oh dear another year closer to 30 (Hope he's aware that it goes down hill from then on ;-) )
The rest is pretty sweet he's very lucky! My biggest thing is the last bit; He really Likes Mountains?? What, to look at? to climb? in pictures? or the metaphorical kind? Who knows??
Seriously though; Al has become one of my very good friends. He is a great guy who has set up a fantastic network for hundreds of Dads and from that he created a Dads Blogging group.
More importantly right now we wouldn't be doing this lovely Linky without him. I know you guys, as much as myself, wish him a very Happy Birthday!

Many happy returns mate ( not as many as me mind) have a great day Al. Thanks for all you for all you do :)
Pretty clever Martyn, Al definitely has done a ton of leg work for everybody. Fortunate to have met both of you in blogger land!
Hey, Al and I are now the same age. Don't be making statements about the big 3-0 yet! We've still got 3 years of youth and beauty on our side!
Happy Birthday Al, Hope its great.
The other side of 30 isn't so bad guys, sheesh! Lol
Happy Birthday Al, thanks for everything you do for us. We appreciate it.
Have a pint for us! (I don't really know if that's proper British slang)
Great job Martyn!
Joyeux anniversaire! I remember being 27. In fact, I could be Al's gym slip dad. Think about that for a second. #BigFatLinky
Thanks so much Martyn. Very kind, if not a little sneaky, of you. I appreciate everyone else's comments too! 30 is breathing down on me but as Sunshine dad said, I'm Sure it's not too bad.
A gym slip dad would be nice john...
Happy birthday Al. Been great meeting you and Martyn over social media! Dad blogs are fab. Have a lovely day. Xx #bigfatlinky

Lovely post - Happy Birthday Al! Hope you have a great birthday :-)
It is sweet of you to ambush Al this way!
Happy Birthday Al! You've got a great friend in Martyn, and a lovely family. And you like mountains, so that's awesome!
Happy birthday!! Also, thank you both for hosting a great linky! :-)
Happy Birthday Al!!
Lovely post x
Happy birthday young un! I guess the only mountain you see this weekend, is a mountain of cake!
I tried comment with my phone yesterday morning, but by the looks of it, it didn't work...lol. Happy Birthday Al.
You're till young, so 30 may look a bit daunting right around the corner, but i'mm in my mid 40's and have never felt better. It's the Big 5-0 I worry about! Hope you enjoyed your day, and remember, when you get as old as I am, you get to celebrate for a week! (because you can't stay awake that long...lol)
What a lovely thing to do Martyn. Happy birthday to Al. Great to link up with you lovely boys. Tor x
Lovely post, happy belated birthday Al! :)
Happy birthday to Al, he has achieved so much in his young years. Well, 'a year old is a year wiser they say'; hope he grows wiser this year. To wonderful things ahead! #thebigfatlinky 21/2/15
