When I was 16 years old and leaving school, I was fortunate enough to secure an interview for my very first job application. The company director was so impressed with my curriculum vitae and the accompanying cover letter that he asked during the interview whether I had written the letter myself. I was honest and informed him that my father had assisted me. My dad was very well written. He read a lot, and his English was outstanding. Although I did not secure the position, the director of the company advised me that gaining more experience in the workforce would be beneficial and encouraged me to reapply to his company in a few years’ time. I did not pursue this further, but I believe I left a positive impression.
Both of my parents ONLY spoke the English language, even though they were both born In British India.. None of them spoke any other languages. My father excelled at English literature and the English language. He had Latin classes at the English school he attended. My mum went to an American school, which was where the British attended school, due to them mostly having Indian schools where they resided. If they did not pass their yearly exams, then they remained in the same class until they passed their exams and moved up to the next year. In India, you paid for your education back then, unlike here in England. 🙂
It is not true! When it comes to celebrities, I have never been overly interested in people who just have the same colouring skin tone as me. They would have to speak the English language like me too.
I appreciate diverse languages, and I understand the importance of communication. However, it can be challenging to engage in conversation when I do not speak the same language as someone else, as this may lead to difficulties in understanding and awkward situations during social interactions. It often requires frequent translation, which can create confusion in communication.
If a person does not have English as their primary language but can communicate clearly enough in English for me to comprehend, I am more than willing to engage with them.
That said, it raises a question about why someone whose primary language is not English is named “AD” if they are proficient in their own language.
Meanwhile, D communicates in English only, similar to myself. The only difference is, is that my accent is more of a Southern English accent.
I loved photographing The Royal Pavilion, in Brighton. It is a stunning architectural masterpiece. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, it features intricate domes and minarets. It was once a seaside retreat for the King, however, it’s now a major tourist attraction known for its exotic charm and lavish design.
I recently spent a lovely day at Wells-Next-To-Sea.
“Well-next-to-sea” is a small coastal town, right next to the seaside. It is a picturesque location with views of the sea or easy access to beaches and maritime activities.
Now here was a good “Photography” day, just a few years ago. I had so much fun taking photographs, on the day.

Last February 2024, my photography weekend, led me to this lovely little town. I have a recollection of going here when I was a child. It is not too far away from Cleethorpes, a place where I began life in England, as a baby. I planned to visit both Barton and Cleethorpes.
Barton-upon-Humber is a historic town in North Lincolnshire, England, situated on the south bank of the Humber Estuary. Known for its picturesque setting, it boasts charming architecture, including medieval buildings and Georgian houses. The town is also home to notable landmarks like St. Peter’s Church and the Wilderspin National School Museum, reflecting its rich cultural heritage.

Cleethorpes is a coastal town in North East Lincolnshire, England. It’s known for its sandy beaches, amusement arcades, and pier. It has a traditional seaside vibe with attractions like donkey rides, fish and chip shops, and amusement parks. It’s a popular destination for families during the summer months.
It is the town where I began my childhood. I was a young baby just starting in life when I lived here.
The last time I visited Holt, was when I was a teenager. I loved the town, even all of those years ago. I was more than happy to spend a couple of days here, once again. It is a ‘Happy Place.’
It is nice to spend some time on your own, visiting all of the places you love. I stayed at the Byfords, in the centre of Holt. It is a quaint little English B&B. I had dinner here last night and a fabulous breakfast this morning. The bed is exceptionally comfortable here.😋
I feel as if I am from the Victorian era. I am sitting at a quaint little desk, which overlooks the High Street. The ceilings here are lovely. They are beamed. It was so lovely to wake up to them this morning.
I was awoken this morning, by the sounds of military aircraft. It brought back my childhood days. My father was in the British Royal Air Force and they are the sounds that I am all too familiar with. I can remember the low-flying tornados practising in the area where I grew up, Stamford.
My bed was so comfortable.The view from my bedroom, looking out onto the High Street.
I am #English however I also have a colourful background. I love anything to do with #England because I have only grown up in England. I love #Quality ie doing things at a much slower pace and providing quality rather than quantity. I see that here at Holt! This is the kind of life I grew up with. I was never rushed and I did things in my own sweet time 😉
I was never a city slicker, but more of a country bumpkin. I have mostly only ever lived in the country and not in the hustle and bustle of city life. I grew up with the lovely folk at a much slower pace. Where people took time to say “Hello” to you. I am at my happiest at such places.
Holt is a charming market town in Norfolk, England, known for its picturesque streets, independent shops, and historic buildings. The town has a rich heritage and offers a peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking a quintessential English experience.
In a small rural seaside town, time seems to stretch out like the coastline. Mornings are greeted by the gentle lull of waves, and the day unfolds with unhurried simplicity. Locals amble through streets, exchanging leisurely greetings, while the rhythm of life mirrors the ebb and flow of the tide. Time here is measured not in minutes but in moments, each one savoured against the backdrop of a serene seascape.
I have brought my main camera along with me, therefore there has been some serious photography. These photos are taken with my mobile camera.
I loved looking out of the bedroom window as I sat at the dressing table, getting ready to go out for dinner.I will add some more photographs later.Breakfast I loved sitting in front of the fireside. It was so cosy. I am enjoying an Eccles Cake and Apple Juice. Blakeney Point is a stunning nature reserve and sandbar located on the Norfolk coast in England. It’s renowned for its beautiful landscape, including dunes, salt marshes, and shingle beaches. The area is a haven for wildlife, particularly birds such as terns, oystercatchers, and Brent geese. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks, birdwatching, and boat trips to observe seals basking on the sandbanks.My lunch was lovely at The Blakeney Hotel. The staff were really friendly
