A. In my spare time, I love to have photography days. I love taking photographs.
I have been known to be photographed by someone else who is good at photography. I was once photographed as an action woman on a spy course. It was so much fun. 😀

The sunset melted into shades of gold,
Across the restless sea so bold.
A little boat rocked with gentle grace,
Drifting slowly through endless space.
The evening breeze sang soft and low,
As crimson skies began to glow.
Waves sparkled bright like scattered fire,
Filling the heart with sweet desire.
Far from the noise, far from the land,
Only the sea and sky are so grand.
A peaceful moment, warm and true,
Where sunset dreams and oceans grew.

The window’s down, the evening glows,
The quiet road unwinds and flows,
And through my hair, the wild wind streams,
Like freedom rushing through my dreams.
The city fades, the sky turns gold,
Soft summer air, both warm and bold,
My hands rest lightly, calm and free,
While dusk hums low beside the sea.
The world feels endless, wide, and far,
As I sit smiling in my car,
With every gust and passing light
Turning ordinary into bright.
There is no need for words, no grand affair,
Just open roads and wind-tossed hair,
A fleeting moment, sweet and rare,
Of peace I carry everywhere. -
I love the letter F because it is the initial of my real first name, Frances. 🙂

Q. Would you say that you are someone who does impromptu things? Do you love to be a little spontaneous?
A. That’s a good question. I would say that I am more of a planner. I like to organise and plan in advance. I need to know what I will be doing in advance; I particularly enjoy creating itineraries when I am travelling. I also like to make checklists for trips. My daughter, Kitty, is very similar to me. We once went to Ireland together, and she prepared an itinerary that was extremely well-organised. I was very impressed with her attention to detail.
Me, planning ahead 🙂 That said, I also appreciate a little spontaneity at times, such as when we both decided to see the River Dance together whilst we were in Ireland. It wasn’t something we had planned on doing beforehand, but it turned out to be the perfect choice to enjoy during our holiday together.
I also love the idea of surprise days. Everyone loves a surprise.
To answer your question, I would say that I enjoy acting spontaneously within a planned itinerary. A little of both. 🙂
Its always good to have a Plan B. 😀

Q. Are you afraid of getting older?
A. We all experience the passage of time; unfortunately, it is impossible to halt the ageing process. While we can adopt measures to maintain our well-being and potentially delay certain signs of ageing, I believe I will embrace growing older gracefully.
When I consider ageing or maturing, I am reminded of a rose that begins as a bud, gradually opening to reveal a beautiful blossom in its full splendour. Eventually, however, that rose begins to wilt, petals change colour, and it begins to fade. I perceive life similarly; we can not all live forever.
I cherish my youthful photographs as mementoes of the past, and my memories are stored safely within my mind.
Me, Frances

I simply love Jamie Oliver’s style of cooking. He is one of my favourite cooks, along with James Martin.
