Life itself

Round 17: February 2027

Max Fielding is 71 and Regan is 63.

(Lilly Fielding is 22 and Naomi Parker is 4.)

Narrated by Max

Lilly got a teaching job at Allerdale Elementary School right after graduation. She lived in an awful dump in Exmoor for a while but now she's moved to Allerdale. She says she loved living in the city but commuting to work every day would have been a pain. She bought a small house that had been vacant for a few years. It was quite cheap and didn't require a lot of fixing after all. We did most of the work ourselves so all in all it didn't cost much to get the house just the way she likes. Some of her stuff was stored at our house while she lived in Exmoor but I think we've finally managed to bring all the boxes over to her place.

Lilly Fielding is 21.

(Max is 70 and Regan is 62.)

Narrated by Lilly.

I've lived in my teeny tiny apartment for a few months now. I didn't even bother bringing my own stuff here so it's stored at mom and dad's house for now.

Good to me

Round 16: October 2025

Max Fielding is 69 and Regan is 61.

(Patrick is 78 and Amabelle is 70.)

Narrated by Regan.

Max and I are in a really good place right now. We both work a lot less and have more time for each other. Max decided to retire from the TV show and concentrate on Music Maximum. I only work three days a week now so we have plenty of time to spend together.

1 thing

Round 16: March 2025

Zach Whitfield is 21, Josh Cooper and Lilly Fielding are 20.

(Max is 69, Regan is 61 and Dawn is 21.)

Narrated by Lilly

It's been a bit awkward living under the same roof with Josh since the break-up. Zach sometimes tries to be some sort of buffer between us but other times he's so distracted with his studies that he barely notices other people.

It was Zach's idea that I could become Eve's roommate when Kaitlyn moves out. It's sort of a win-win situation for everyone and I'm pretty excited about getting out of the dorm and into the real world.

(Nyah is 37, Erin is 28 and Lilly is 18.)

Narrated by Regan Fielding.

Two years ago Max and I were going through a particularly rough time. We just somehow lost our ability to communicate with each other and every conversation ended up in a fight. It took an intervention from our daughters to see that we were heading into a divorce.

Unfinished business

Liv Harris is 23.
(Niall and Erin are both 26.)

Narrated by Liv Harris

I went for an early dinner at Tom's Diner the other day and saw Niall sitting at a table with our landlady Stephanie. I didn't know they even knew each other well so I decided to see what's going on.

Narrated by Regan Fielding

Max and I had a bit of a rough start with Lilly's boyfriend two years ago when our butler caught them making out in the hot tub. Lilly was grounded for a couple of months after that incident but now we allow them to see each other quite often. He seems like a nice guy and they have been dating for two years which is very long for teenagers. We usually only allow him to come over when one of us is home.

Max Fielding is 61, Regan is 53 and Lilly is 12.
(Josh is 12.)

Narrated by Lilly Fielding

I'm not allowed to have a real job yet but dad lets me help at the shop every now and then. I don't get to do anything cool though. I mostly tidy the place up after we've closed and take out the trash.

Toby and I have been dating for about a year now but we're still taking things slow. We haven't even slept together yet! We get to spend more time together now that Greg has moved back to Wellington and Iona spends some time at his apartment too. I usually ride the bus to Exmoor with Iona and then continue to Wellington where Toby lives.

Erin Fielding is 21 and Iona is 4.
(Toby is 24.)

Narrated by Erin Fielding

Iona and I moved to a new home this year - it looks exactly like our old one though. The only change is the upstairs. There's two bedrooms and the balcony is smaller. There wouldn't have been room for Iona's bed in our old house and I thought it would be nice if she had her own room.

Winter 2016 birthdays

Erin came for a visit with Iona from Brixton so we invited Nyah and Thomas and their kids as well. It feels like they were born yesterday but Skye and Iona are already 3 and Kyra and Jett are 15 months!
