I love to eat good food that is nicely presented.
This was a lovely baguette served with some salad and crisps at the Haycock Hotel, Wansford.
I have some lovely photographs of the Wansford bridge to add to this post soon. 🙂

One of the reasons I decided to create my own blog/website was to establish my own identity and prevent any further misassociation with individuals who may be impersonating me. I value my individuality, and I prefer to be recognised independently. Think more people should do the same thing. Only sharing their own photographs and not mine!
I am passionate about photography. I can express my favourite art here. I love being me! 🙂
I hope that one day, I can share my life with a like-minded individual. 🙂

I am quite versatile in my look. The top photograph is of me wearing a wig and the bottom photograph of me is with my own hair!

It was a pleasure to see the band Blue on the TV programme “Piano Rooms” recently. They have consistently been one of my favourite bands. They performed a selection of excellent songs during the programme.
I recall taking my daughter, Catherine, to see them perform live in concert a few years ago at the Peterborough Embankment. They were truly outstanding.
Here are a couple of my favourite “Blue” songs.
Blue consists of four band members:
Lee
Anthony
Duncan
Simon
They are fabulous singers.

Why are individuals often judged based on their race? One may be born in England, speak only English, and identify as Christian—essentially identical to anyone else who describes themselves as white British—apart from the colour of their skin. Why must people be categorised or segregated in such a manner? This can only lead to hostility. Why can’t we all behave as mature adults and learn to appreciate someone for their kindness, regardless of their colour, gender, religion, or background? One of the reasons we wore a school uniform was to promote a sense of equality, ensuring everyone dressed similarly. If someone does not wish to forge friendships with individuals of a different colour, that is a personal choice, but I am tired of the division into ‘us’ and ‘them’. Some people simply seek to be accepted and treated fairly. I love quality. I love nice people.
If you did not want everyone living in the same country, why allow people to move here in the first place?
If you owned a piece of land and someone unwanted, tried to claim it, would you just let them go ahead and take your piece of land? If you allow people to come into the country, you have no room to complain!

When you are feeling happy and relaxed, you have that look. 🙂

Q. Have you ever received flowers as a gift?
I have received carefully selected flowers from various sources—friends, loved ones, and other gardens—but the one that remains most memorable to me is from after the tragic loss of my boyfriend in an accident. Upon returning to work, I found a small arrangement of hand-picked flowers placed at my workstation, accompanied by a heartfelt note. This gesture was remarkably touching, quite unexpected, and it provided me with comfort during a difficult period.
The individual responsible demonstrated a truly compassionate nature.

I am unsure about others, but I traditionally take down my Christmas decorations on the 6th of January.
Religiously and culturally, Christmas decorations are typically removed on Twelfth Night (5th January) or the Feast of the Epiphany (6th January).
Today marks what I consider the final day of the Christmas period and a fresh start to the new year. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year 2026.
Last year was particularly challenging for me, as we experienced the loss of a family member just before Christmas.
The year has been one of mourning and learning to cope with difficult circumstances. Coming to terms with the loss of loved ones can be a profound challenge.
As we move forward, I am hopeful for a year filled with better times.
Warm regards,

Have you ever pondered the meaning of life? Why do we exist? We all arrive in the world with nothing and, regrettably, depart in the same manner. Will our legacy endure through our children and grandchildren? Surely, there must be more to life than what is immediately apparent. Are we all here for a meaningful purpose? Should we strive to create a better environment for future generations? If only we knew the reason. Why do we exist?
