The blog will remain alive and accessible for family to look back on memories of days gone by. Due to lack of interest and forwarding of events and happings in all our lives, busy as they may be it ( the blog) has reached its sell by date. I see that FACE BOOK has all the news, everybody is posting the whats happening around them and its a fantastic way to stay in contact and spread the news.<br />
<br />
Any items that come the EDITORS way will be posted and updated but it seems that these will be few and far between, even the Birthday photo's have faded away.<br />
<br />
Love you all toooooooo much and see you on FACE BOOK or when ever you post some thing for the blog.<br />
.....................................<br />
<br />
It has and always will be a pleasure to share your lives and events with all that log onto THE 8COWLES BLOG , a piece of me has just gone by the wayside............................................................... <br />
from THE EDITOR<br />

Down under is still kicking butt big time................ where the other countries come from is mind boggling, but it is quite amazing how many idiotic and rubbish comments the editor has to reject that are attempted and published on the blog. I can not stop the flag counter though. Maybe before I cancell some of the idiotic comments I should copy/paste into a email for you all to see, makes for some over 21 reading though, thats if you want parts of your anatomy to be bigger.
