I went out for a treat tonight with my Mum to Browns restaurant in Brighton and we decided to do a blog post while we waited for my ice cream to arrive. More

It was tricky to interview Lara for a blog post! Perhaps Mum needs to refine her interview technique but anyway, this was our first effort!!
Lara, what do you think about our plans to travel the world?
Good!
What are you looking forward to most?
Brighton!
Well, we won’t be going to Brighton when we go traveling because we’ll be going further away!
Oh!! Well then, you choose for me Mummy!
You see, Brighton is near where we live now but when we go on our travels we’ll go to other countries
But mummy – this is England!
Ok, what do you think you might miss?
My toys and lots of my teddies and my friends….
Mummy!! We need to take some party bags on holiday … we have to! Because it’s gonna be my birthday!
Do you think you’ll want to come home again after our trip?
Mmmm
What do you think about Mummy and Daddy being your teachers? Its called ‘home school’ – or maybe ‘road school’?
Good…
Actually, no! I don’t want to go on holiday, just stay at my school!
Mum, is this how they read in Australia?

Mum interviewed me about our family gap year and this was it:-
Ben, what do you think about our plans to travel the world?
I think that it’ll be very nice to go to other countries, make new friends and be with my family all the time and not have my parents working all the time.

With Oma baby sitting and Mo and I nursing mild hangovers we jumped on a train up to Olympia to visit the Adventure Travel Show a couple of weekends ago to do some research for our family gap year. Not sure what to expect but as usual nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I recognised quite a few of the speakers but the closest we got to any talks was standing next to Charley Boorman in the coffee area which was a shame as I would have found them pretty interesting (and Mo would have worried that I was after a bit too much adventure!). Nick Hewer of Apprentice fame was giving a talk More

Christmas in the Clark household is a bit like a big pass the parcel game, lots of unwrapping and a brief moment of delight at getting something (or a disappointed oh?).
Given that Ben and Zoe were back to playing with their (old) Lego by the Queen’s speech and making a spy mission kit out of the cardboard boxes that the presents came in it crossed our minds, not for the first time, that perhaps our kids are a bit spoiled. More
