Call me Arthur Hoggett!

 

 

Our regukar visits to the pool not only refresh our bodies but also our minds as we always find plenty to talk about with our fellow-"aquanauts", and a recent visit was no exception.

After exchanging a few words with a Yorkshireman whom I had not met before, he said that I reminded him of someone in the movie "Babe".

All I could remember from that movie was the pig, so I asked, "What, I remind you of Babe the Pig?" "I was thinking of its owner", he replied.

 

Farmer Arthur Hoggett in the movie "Babe"

 

When we got home, I immediately looked up "Babe" on YouTube, and there was farmer Arthur Hoggett with his uncanny likeness of my father.

 

My father's photograph sometime in his early fifties

 

I read somewhere that as you age there comes a moment when you look into the mirror and suddenly see your father. Call me Arthur Hoggett!
