Well hello

It’s me, not Ben, I changed the title of this blog for Ben, now I’ve finally managed to set up his own blog but I’m sticking with Downs my way for mine.

It’s been an interesting year, some difficult months but now we are back to living joyfully and abundantly. We’re blessed to have been supported by some amazing people, both friends and professionals. 

Ben is now happily back at his groups at  Down Syndrome Cheshire and has enjoyed some lovely days with his support worker  Sarah.. He’s had another exciting trip to London representing the National Down  Syndrome Policy Group in the company of the amazing Julie Duff.

His dream was to establish himself on social media platforms to advocate for people with Down  Syndrome of all ages. With my support and the technical expertise of the staff and volunteers at  Down  Syndrome Cheshire he now has a Facebook, Instagram and YouTube profile and his own blog. 

I am reminded that dark days don’t last for ever and good things can come out of hard times. We’ll both be trying to build a regular routine of sharing our adventures (and mishaps!) At the moment we are unable to share photos but all being well we will solve this problem (with help)

I’m testing fonts so if you find this one annoying or difficult to read just let me know. Baby steps!
