Hi. My name is Frances Rose Agnes Napper. My Motto: If you have made someone in you life smile, then your life has been worth while 🫠

  • All This Time

    This song is a favourite, by Michell McManus. She first performed the song on TV’s Pop Idol and Simon Cowell was one of the judges. I loved the song so much.

  • Captain Tom Moore – Such A Marvellous Gentleman

    I can remember going for a lovely long walk, with a friend, when I saw this painting. It is Captain Tom Moore.

    Captain Tom Moore

    In April 2020, at the age of 99, he began a fundraising campaign for the NHS Charities Together, aiming to walk 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday. His initial goal was to raise £1,000, but his efforts captured the public’s imagination, leading to a total of over £32 million in donations. Moore’s fundraising efforts and positive spirit during a challenging time garnered widespread admiration.

    He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2020 in recognition of his contributions. Captain Tom Moore passed away on February 2, 2021, but remains a symbol of resilience and community spirit.

  • Bring Him Home

    Now here is a song I love,particularly when it sung by Josh Groban. He has such a mellow voice.

    The song is from the musical “Les Miserables“

    Aww my nephew is named Josh.

  • Reversed Psychology Does It Work?😃

    Q. SmileyRose have you ever tried reverse psychology? What is it? Does it work?

    A. 😀 Reverse psychology refers to getting another person to do or say something by telling them the opposite of what is desired. It’s a common tactic commonly found in advertising and even parenting and can be a great skill.

    Yes, I have used it. It can work when skilfully used. 😀

    An example of reverse Psychology: You can tell your child “Not to tidy their room,” in the hope they may tidy it. 🙂

    Reverse psychology can backfire though, so be very careful if you start to play silly games with people’s lives. Reverse psychology is a persuasion tactic that can often leave people feeling manipulated. If a person feels like you are always using this technique to get them to do what “you” want, they may reach a point where they feel that they cannot trust you anymore.

  • Beatrix Potter

    I visited Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s House in Ambleside, with my children, several years ago. It was such a lovely day. My daughters loved it and they very soon became fans of anything to do with Beatrix Potter. They loved the stories.

    Their Grandmother who was very good at knitting, knitted the entire Beatrix Potter characters. They looked fabulous.

    I loved the film Miss Potter which starred Renee Zellweger. 🙂
