Hello, from us and a Merry Christmas to all who visit your messsage board. It was great speaking to you by phone on Christmas Day and it seemd as if you were very near. You are, of course, very near you just happen to be on the other side of the world at the moment. We had a very happy Christmas with all of the traditional things going on. First of course was midnight mass which for us, "sets the scene". The singing was great and since we have rejoined the choir it was really nice to be part of it. Christmas Day was lovely. All of the Clark relations came to our house at 12pm for the Christmas get together. Standing room only and there is of course an increasing number of grandchildren present. We then all dispersed to the homes where we had Christmas dinner, in our case to Devanny's. Needless to say, but the food was great and the drink copious and of top quality (25 year old Scotch Whiskey for the men of course!). Since then it has been all down hill. Well at least for Geraldine who has taken the flu and has spent the last two days in bed. Today she is not quite recovered but is on the mend. No doubt she will be 100% recovered in time to go back to school but hopefully also to be able to enjoy New Year. So sorry about the delay in updating the notice board but. hey! Life goes on! Enjoy New Year All our love Mum and Dad

Hi you two, I got a new pixel chix car from Argos today. OUR big cousin Christopher was staying overnight with us. I let him ride my new bike that i got for christmas. Any way he was a bit of a pest most of the time. Glad you both had a good christmas.It was lovely speaking to you both on christmas day. Speak to you soon . Lots of love from the wee pests Sophia and Logan . xxxxxxx

Merry Christmas to all back home...... Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to all..........we had a nightmare here......it was only 28 degrees, we had to sunbathe all day, a BBQ at night along with just a few drinks (well you understand what WE mean with a few!!!) a bit of kareoke!!!!! Although we were made feel right at home on Christmas Eve as we had thunderstorms and torrential rain......ahhhh memories of Scotland!!! Wishing you all a Happy New Year when it comes! All Our Love, Amanda & Greg xx

Hi you guys, Merry Christmas to you all, glad to see you are enjoying yourselves, and missing here so much. Tell Steven he is still as handsome, and looks nothing like Frank McAvennie. Judging by your extensive photo album you are having a ball, and living life to the max (we woudn't expect anything else). Enjoy your new years celebration, and we hope 2007 is a very good year for you both. We have to go now as coronation street is about to start, and you know what it's like trying to catch up if you miss an episode. A.T.B. Steve & Margaret.

Hi Amanda and Greg, By the time you both read this your christmas celebrations will be over.So happy to know you both had a wonderful christmas with all your friends at the beautiful house in Pearl Bay. It was great speaking to you both on christmas eve,morning and evening you all sounded as though you were having great fun(how's frankies head after walking into the glass door!!!!!!). Sophia and Logan were so excited when they were talking to you,telling you all about what santa left them. everyone here had a wonderful christmas,although we all missed you both so much,there were a number of toasts raised to both of you throughout the day(a few sore heads this morning i think). As you said you both had a great time but its not the same as being with all your family and friends back home,and you both missed everyone and all the turkey, roast potatoes and trimmings,although bbq on the beach and all the beautiful sunshine sounds ok to me.By the way how's the sunburn Amanda,hope you put plenty of factor 30 on today!!!!!we just needed the thermals here Ha ha. Anyway just wanted to wish our very special daughter and son-in-law a very merry christmas and all the love in the world,miss you both so much,looking forward to all the celebrations when you both get back home in june(what a party that will be). all our love and lots of cuddles and kisses(its only three weeks since we were able to do that)and thanks again for the wonderful three weeks we spent in OZ with you both,it was a trip of a lifetime for us and we enjoyed every minute(including the scenic railway!!!!!!!) lots of love and kisses, take care, speak to both soon, love Mum and Dadxxxxxxxx Ps.Lee warren got married last week,we all just heard about it on Saturday.What a surprise for her Gran and Dad

Birthday Boy.......Belated Birthday Wishes Due !!!! Many Happy Returns to my Uncle Gordon (wouldnt tell me his age so cant embarass him with that one!!!)...hope you had a great day yesterday and got some fabbie pressies!!! We will give you a call tonight to catch up and we can do some grovelling then!! Luv, Amanda and Greg xx

Hi folks, glad to see that you're obviously having the time of your life! It's great to see that a wee change of scenery helps to broaden your musical tastes. The U2 gig looks like it was magic, brought back a few memories. Hope that you have a great Christmas, stuck out there in all that sunshine, while we get washed away in all this rain!! Enjoy folks. Simon

Hi there have been lazy about posting messages lately since we have been in weekly contact by phone. The updated photos are amazing, great to see all the ones with May & Chic. They certainly packed everything into their trip and it was great to get a proper report on how you both are and that you are taking great care of each other and having the best of adventures. You certainly are not slumming it. I love the Christmas decorations, simple is always best. We are looking forward to Christmas but will miss you both. What celebrations we will have to catch up on when you return home. Can't wait to push the boat out on those. Will speak to you at the weekend and then on Christmas day. Give each other lots of hugs and kisses from all those who are thinking of you back here. All my best love to you both. Hugs & kisses from mum.

Hi to both, Just had another look at the holiday house you have all rented in pearl bay for christmas,looks stunning,what a setting,but i'm sure you will both miss sitting round the table eating turkey and stuffing,heating on full blast,blowing a gale and pouring with rain outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure you will all have wonderful time although you will all miss your family and friends back home.We are so happy to know you will have lots of company at christmas,they are all lovely people,say hi to Frankie for us. As you know i received your cards the other day,just a few left to give out.we were both really touched by your letter,shed a few tears-reply in the post. Speak to both saturday, take care, lots of love, Mumxxxxxxxxx
