Party time! And Surprise!!! I have a Twin !!
Ho Ho Ho!
Thanks for popping in.
Just got home from one of the best Christmas parties ever ever!
Clarity Christmas at the Spa in Tunbridge Wells takes some beating! We had so much fun!
The inimitable Jayne worked her magic again, and games and fun were had by all…
A formidable Secret Santa game which was hilarious (to the left to the right to the right to the left and on and on )
And then, to crown it all – she found my twin!!! Even had the same dress on! Very strange !!
Honestly, you had to be there. It was special, very very special. Mum and Dad were there, and in full swing,
….and there was plenty of hilarity with Clarity – I can tell you!!Here we see our new manager Sean getting to grips with Debby…in the nicest possible way, you understand!
Hahahahaha! Look at Lucy to the left, with the tights on her head!! Something’s afoot….
I love my Clarity Family, I so do.
Got to go and finish wrapping pressies now. The only missing piece in the jigsaw is Gracie – and she flies into Heathrow with her Mark tomorrow morning. Can’t wait to give that girl a huge hug.
Love & hugs,
Barb

Glad you all had a fun time, so thoroughly deserved. Come tomorrow the picture will be complete. Much love. Xxxxx
Glad your Christmas party went well and everyone had a good time. Bet you won’t sleep tonight waiting for Grace to land. Enjoy your hug in the morning. XX
Evening bloggy friends, busy crafting again today and doing some tidying inbetween. Really should be the other way round but hey ho! XX
My gosh your twin is identical – lol! Looks and sounds like you all had a blast, and well deserved it was too! Good to see your mum and dad looking well and happy along with the rest of the Clarity (Hilarity) crew. All will be in place once Grace and Mark arrive tomorrow then it’ll definitely be time for the festivities to begin. I’m just about to make a couple of gift boxes, final bit of wrapping to do then it’s onwards and upwards to the big day. xx
I hope a twin doesn’t mean double the ideas as I’ll never keep up ! Looked a great party, glad you all had a good time! Enjoy your time with your loved ones ! X
P.s. did Elvis have a place at the table ?! X
And a great time was had by all!
Looks and sounds wonderful – so happy for you all. Family Clarity is amazing! Talking of family – great to see Mark and your Mum and Dad there too.
As you say, tomorrow when Grace and her Mark arrive – things will be complete. Wishing you all a wonderful time together – cherish every moment. Love and hugs to you all, Gilly xxx
Hi bloggy friends – I have really enjoyed finding Elvis each day and it will definitely be strange when it ends!
Neill and I have been looked after very well for the last 10 days. We made our way up to Warwick (slowly) to stay with my sister and brother-in-law. They have given us so much help & support – we have both been able to let out a lot of the sadness & anxiety here. My sis has even done about 3 weeks laundry for me, bless her!
Tomorrow we move on to Tamworth to spend Christmas with Neill’s niece & her family, plus his brother and sister-in-law. We are very fortunate to have so much love and support from our families. Love and hugs to you all, Gilly xxx

Pray Grace and mark arrive safely tomorrow then your Christmas can begin sure you won’t sleep much tonight wait for Grace to arrive have a wonderful day with her tomorrow lots hugs and catching up xx

Great photos. Surprised Elvis wasn’t there! Hope Grace arrives safely tomorrow. Hope you, Dave, Mark, Grace, Steve, your parents, Paul, and everyone at Clarity Towers have a fabulous Christmas, filled with love and laughter. And very best wishes for a healthy and peaceful New Year.
Can’t wait to see what you all have in store for us next year. Xxx
Great to see you having so much fun and laughter. You have an identical twin then, ha ha. Lovely to see your Mum & Dad joining in the fun with all your hardworking team. Be wonderful for you when Grace and her Mark arrive too. Enjoy it all Barbara. Love and hugs Pam xxx
What a wonderful party you had it looks a great family. It is lovely when you get to see your children again. I am really missing being in california. This year its in Sidmouth with my other son and daughter in law plus two granddaughters, husbands, and two great grandsons. Train journey tomorrow.

PS: someone is clever with a camera/computer to make you a twin!!!
looks as if you all had a fantastic time at the party.
Wishing everyone at Clarity Towers a Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year. Need to check out the dates for 2019 & put them on the calendar. Hopefully I shall make some of them next year.
Safe journey to all those travelling over the next few days so they can be with family & friends.
Have a wonderful Christmas Barbara with your family
And I wish you all the very best of everything for the coming year. Hugs xx
That bit of video looks hilarious and a Christmas ‘do’ enjoyed by all including Mark and your Mum and Dad. The family will be complete tomorrow…I bet you can’t wait Barbara. x

Happy to see you had an awesome Christmas party with the Clarity Elves xx
Enjoy a well deserved break with the family. It looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks again for all the amazing inspiration over the last year and the brilliant team work from the Clarity team.
Hi Barbara
Looks and sounds like everyone at Clarity Towers are in full swing with Christmas cheer!!
I’m sure Gracie will arrive on time, just heard on the news that they have arrested two people in connection with the drone attacks. Let’s hope they make a good example of them and throw away the key!!!
Here’s wishing you Big Hugs with Gracie & her Mark and a loving, joyful, exciting and peaceful Christmas holiday.
Love & Hugs
Penny

What hilarity indeed! Glad you all had so much fun after a very hard working year. Two Barbaras should cut your workload in half next year!
Poor Sean and Debbie… She is laying a purple egg and Sean has something yellow popping up between his!!! Is this Clarity’s initiation for new staff? You certainly know how to let your hair down. Thanks for sharing your fun and giving us a laugh too! Wishing all the Clarity staff a very merry, happy & healthy Christmas and New Year and a huge THANK YOU to you all for the excellent service you provide. Love and hugs Jeanette xx
What a great party looks like a lot of fun xx
Hello Barb and the whole Clarity family, it looks like you all had great fun. What a way to celebrate such a great year and great team. Take care all. Bx
You clearly had an amazing time. It’s so important to have joy in your work and that then shines through into how you all deal with us, your customers and extended family! Hope Grace arrives safely and you all have a wonderful Christmas! !
Happy Times had by all and so well deserved!
Happy Christmas to you all!
Love and hugs xxx
Happy Christmas to you and your family, have a great fun time ,,. It’s great being with family,
Love Annie,,,xxxxxx 🌲☃️🎄☃️🎄
Looks like a great time was had by all. Today I’ve been buying locally made gifts by local artists, and imagining them all doing a happy dance that they’ve made a sale! A birthday present for me from John, and a Christmas present from my parents to me – at least I know I’ll get something that I like x
