It’s been a while…

 

It’s taken me about twenty five minutes to sign in so far, and it’s been a while as the website reminded me! Life has moved on and is pretty much back to normal or what passes for normal for Ben and I. We’re busy again, some with the Salvation Army as of old but more with Down Syndrome Cheshire, an amazing local charity that entered our lives around October

Ben has thrown himself into everything on offer with enthusiasm and delight, his highlight (so far) being a visit to 10 Downing Street on March 21st this year, World Down Syndrome Day. He’s also attended a charity awards night (and three course dinner!) given a speech at our Annual General Meeting and is chairman of the I Choose board. 

If you know Ben personally he will no doubt have told you (more than once) that he will very soon be celebrating his 34th birthday! (How’s that happened?) He’s looking forward to bowling with some friends from DSC then  a trip to the Shire horse centre followed by a night at a hotel, evening meal and full English breakfast in the morning. (I mention these details as they are very high on Ben’s criteria for a good day!)

This is just a tentative, toe dipping attempt into getting myself back into writing again. I have a few techy hurdles to overcome with such things as emails on my iPad and other such trivia but I’m hoping to get myself sorted and a little more proactive and productive in the coming weeks. Watch this space…
