This weekend is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it is the celebration of Marg and my 40th wedding anniversary. The time seems to have disappeared pretty quickly and we are still getting on ok, surprisingly, and looking forward to the next 40! We have watched our two kids grow up into adults and produce five grandchildren between them, and now they are growing up seemingly even quicker! But they are all real individuals and it's lovely to see how they are developing (the big ones and the little ones!!)
For a special treat we are going back to Burgh Island and staying at the Art Deco hotel for the weekend. We know how special the place is and are looking forward to going back for a real stay.
40 years ago we were both part of Gospel Folk group with our best friends Ros and Steve. The 4th September is not only our 40th wedding anniversary but also Steve's 60th birthday. This week we were very amused to discover that the album we recorded as as group back in 1972 (The Trouble With Adam - Exordium) has appeared twice on e-bay this week as 'Rare Christian Folk Acoustic Album' and up for £45!! Music has always been very important to our family and in the last couple of years Blu has released several EP's with her band Girl Friday and my brother JJ Clarke has just released his second acoustic album 'Naked In The Headlights'. Steve is currently gigging with a local Rock band.
So it's happy big birthday to Steve Derges, happy revival to 'The Trouble With Adam', and happy anniversary to my lovely and long-suffering wife Marguerite who has put up with me for 40 years!!
