It's been a while....

..but I thought it was about time to make a final post & retire this blog.

Those of you (all 2!) who are still interested in the trivals workings of my life are welcome to keep up to date with things via my facebook page.

This blog was started at a fairly low time in my life when Ben

was undergoing several tests to find out the cause of his facial paralysis. Back then I found it a very cathartic process finding that helped me deal with what was happenin

g.

After a while it became good fun and then later a bit of a chore if I'm honest.

But recently I began thinking that I need to close it down officially. You never know someone out there might be desperate for the name "The Clarke Clan"!! :)

So here's a quick update...

Nanny Annie - still alive & kicking bless her. She's been a bit poorly r

ecently but not doing bad for 95 years old.

Bea - just recently had a hernia operation and seems ve

ry upbeat since.

Grandad John & Grandma Brenda - see

m to be enjoying retirement. Doing lots of travelling & playing with their grandchildren.

Grandad Martin & Nana Diane - recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and are currently cruising round the Med on a 2nd honeymoon

Auntie Kirstie, Uncle Phil, Ollie & Molly - all doing well. Molly turned 4 yesterday and we're off to her party shortly

Auntie Alison - now living with us. Planning to stay for about 18 months whilst she saves up enough money to get a better place. Enjoying it a little too much I think - not sure I'll be able to kick her out!

Steve - I'm struggling to keep up with wh

at he's doing at work. He switches between contracts quite quickly due to the nature of his work but he's very happy by all accounts.

Amy - Started Junior school in September and see

ms to be enjoying that immensely. Now regularly attending Cheerleading training & the competitions. Amazing to watch her.

Ben - Started Infant school in September - taken him

a little while to settle in but seems to be enjoying it too.

and finally Me - enjoying life a lot at the moment. Discovered the Twilight saga books (& movies) which I have enjoyed immensely and just pretty much happy with life in general.

So as Warner Bros. said "That's all folks". Hope you enjoyed reading about our exploits. So

long and thanks for all the fish.
