The Clare-Panton Family: May 2015
http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Monday, 4 May 2015. Unexpected Outpouring of Generosity for Nepal. After arranging to use our local village hall in Old Windsor as a drop off point and enlisting the help of a fellow resident, we discovered that the containers going to Nepal from Aldershot were already full. I had committed to people that their donations would go to Nepal so I needed to make sure that happened. But how? The tweet was a photograph of a flyer attached to ...

The Clare-Panton Family: A Work of Art
http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-work-of-art.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Tuesday, 31 March 2015. A Work of Art. Since dipping my toe in the water of life modelling back in October 2012, I think it would be fair to say that I have whole heatedly embraced it as a career. I am now modelling several times a week most weeks. A few weeks ago I modelled 7 days in a row and some days had 2 assignments per day. Those days I am exhausted and by the end of that week my body ached. Most times I think of nothing. Not...

http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Monday, 24 September 2012. Strangest Online Buying Experience Ever. For Christmas last year, my mother-in-law, gave my husband and I a gift certificate for www.scottishgourmetfoods.co.uk. Given how much we love Scotland and everything Scottish, she was on to a winner. Like so many gift vouchers, I had put it that safe place which meant it was in a place I would never ever find again until the day after it expired. 10 minutes later I rec...

The Clare-Panton Family: April 2015
http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Thursday, 30 April 2015. The earthquake in Nepal has hit me hard. I can't watch the television or read the newspapers without ending up in floods of tears. I feel so utterly helpless. I find this disgusting for so many reasons. Not everyone has money to give but everyone has the capacity to give something. A charity which aims to help people in need are unwilling to tackle the difficulties involved. I've spoken to DEC. Only to find that...

The Clare-Panton Family: January 2014
http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Wednesday, 1 January 2014. I didn’t send Christmas cards this year. There. I’ve said it. Normally, I send well over 300 cards to just about every corner of the globe. It costs us a small fortune in postage and is a huge effort. Every year I struggle to get Marc and the children to sign them and very rarely do I manage to get them all done in time to get them to their final destination before the big day. They are an invaluable collectio...

The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Monday, 28 January 2013. Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit (aka MPASU). Who's a lucky girl? I won a competition over on Twitter (@ladawncp) hosted by the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit (@mpsinthesky) by answering a simple question: what are the registrations for their 3 helicopters? The base is a former WWII POW camp. The buildings are listed and have a beautiful view of across all of London. We were led to a classroom and show...

The Clare-Panton Family: July 2013
http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Tuesday, 9 July 2013. The day begins one eye at a time. First I check the time. Have I slept too much? Then I check the weather. Do I need to turn on my lumi light? Will it make a damn bit of differene? Will this rain ever stop? Do I really need to turn on the heating in June? The sun is shining so I am going to need to come up with a bloody good excuse to not go for a walk. Other times I can't bear putting on the armour and I remain me...

The Clare-Panton Family: June 2013
http://clare-panton.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The Mundane and Extraordinary Adventures of the Clare-Panton Family. Saturday, 29 June 2013. Thursday was the school's performance of Oliver. This was the same day I was admitted to the clinic. I had spent most, if not all, of the day in tears. Not for any good reason only that mostly I just wanted to die and couldn't. Back in the clinic, my night's sleep was interrupted continuously with nightmares of people crushing me, sitting on me, pushing me, suffocating me. I yelled out numerous time. By 5...My ba...
