I have spent some time in the last few weeks thinking about the future of this blog and have decided it doesn’t have one.  In its original concept as a forum for family stories I think it has failed and it is rapidly becoming the “Alice & David Show” - which is not what I intended or want. 

To those of you who have contributed stories I offer my heartfelt thanks - I have really enjoyed receiving, reading and publishing your  stories.  I have put them (minus my introductions) on the other website (http://storial.tribalpages.com)  which has a facility for stories and photos, so your contributions will not just disappear. I have really appreciated your efforts.

Thanks also to those of you who took the time to make comments and to those who just read the articles -I hope you derived some interest and amusement from the blog.

Finally, a special thanks to David, Susan and Gareth who have helped and encouraged me all the way through.

So long folks, may you keep well and happy!! :-)
