Family life

Claire was born on Friday, 28 March 1986, in Portsmouth.

We moved to Havant in May 1987, when Claire was just over a year old.

Michael was born on 11 July 1989 in Portsmouth.

We camped in the New Forest in August 1993 because it was cheaper than renting anywhere with walls.

Our first flight was to Majorca in August 1994.

Mabel came from a litter belonging to somebody at Eastbrook.

We bought our first home computer at Christmas 1998.

We went back to Weymouth in August 1999.

Claire married Simon on 9 September 2010.

Ruby was born in June 2012.
