Exciting Number Sequence
Today is one of those exciting moments with the number of hits
Number 1 Clip 127Million
Number 2 Clip 126Million
Harry and Charlie 125Million
Of course there is also the matter of a few hundred thousand within the numbers, but this sequence was always going to make me smile.

Filming for TV
Whenever someone contacts us regarding the boys clip we need to sign a contract saying we will not talk about the particular show/news story/newspaper article so the pictures have also been smudged a little to hide any logos and crew.
I guess we will never get over the novelty that people are actually that interested in the boys and the story of the clip that they want to come and talk to us and film. I also think that is a good thing.
I thought I would share with you a couple of pictures showing what it is like.
It is amazing how long the setup takes and how much of an intrusioin into our lives the whole process is. I am not complaining about that, it is just the way it works out. Luckily the people who come to see us are always lovely to work with and we all enjoy it, this time around they were jumping oin the trampoline with the boys and throwing freebies in the back garden . I probably would not say that if it happened too often, but that is another reason I turn down more than we do.
One of the best things about it is we get some lovely footage of the boys, taken with professional kit and people which will be with us forever.
You probably did spot it but the in case you didn't the chair the boys are in is the THE Chair they are in for the original clip.

e.coli and camping
I suppose regular bloggers set aside time to blog. Whereas when we get the opportunity to sit down and relax the last thing we think about is writing up 'interesting' things we have been doing.
The last month has been a roller-coaster of illness and last few weeks of summer holidays, not to mention a few other things. Harry and a few friends visited the farm which was at the centre of the e.coli outbreak in the UK.
Of course when he became ill we were unaware of the seriousness of the situation as nothing had been reported and initially the symptoms for us were pretty much the same as any tummy bug. On top of that Charlie and Jasper became ill as well. The long and the short of it was that by the time they were all tested none of them still had e.coli in their systems and may never have had it but they were all a lot better in themselves. We are sure Harry did have it.
It is such a shame that we are all now going to overreact about petting farms and most will probably close because the children love them. If only the government had acted quicker and taken decisive action we would not have the extremes that are now going on in the press and general opinion.
One weekend (while Harry was still being sick although we did not know it until bed time) we went camping quite localy to where we live. Having a 'what's that noise' Charlie sleeping one side and a very recently sick Harry the other was not a position I would have willingly put myself into out of choice. However the night passed peacefully, the boys had a great time climbing, flying kites, playing, swinging, running etc.
Jasper and mummy were very sensible and stayed at home

Glamping July 2009
Glamping July 2009 - Devon
learning about the dangers and benefits of fire
Cover from the rain to eat dinner
That is MY stick
'Pebbles' by Charlie
It was raining anyway and the sea is bracing
The end of the road - peace and harmony for a moment

Charlie Bit Me - YouTube Numbers
Hello everyone
I know most of you here on Facebook are friends and do not represent the 'How did it get so many hits' people on YouTube, however I thought I would share some stats that
I have collected over the year and not given out before.
I started recording at the beginning of 2009 to see when we would overtake the number 1 place in the UK and have kept on going for interest every few weeks.
01/01/09 06/07/09 Gain
Avril 111,871,706 121,517,550 9,645,844
Evolution 108,863,441 122,333,226 13,469,785
Charlie Bit 72,952,177 106,247,792 33,295,615
(Dates are in UK format DD/MM/YY)
perhaps more interesting for those who call the clip ‘old’
28/06/09 06/07/09 Gain
Avril 121,192,797 121,517,550 324,753
Evolution 121,965,406 122,333,226 367,820
Charlie Bit 104,722,696 106,247,792 1,525,096
Checking the various numbers I have, these are representative of the last year.
I have been looking at some of the other clips in the top 20 and Miley Cirus and Lady Gaga do get views close to Charlie Bit Me, but not that close :)
Of course all this means the clip could get to number one. On the other hand that does not matter and it’s been fun.
I am planning to do another Charlie, Harry and Jasper calendar this year :)

A lovely lazy bike ride along the river and some paddling - life does not get much better when you are a child.
