  • Christmas, with my Daughters

    Dec 26th, 2025

    I love my daughters

    Christmas with daughters feels like warmth wrapped in laughter. It’s the sparkle in their eyes when the lights come on, the excitement as the open their presents, and the way even the smallest traditions feel magical again. There’s music playing, wrapping paper everywhere, and a kind of joy that’s loud, messy, and real.
    It’s the feeling of  togetherness,
    watching the same movies you’ve seen a hundred times, and hearing stories and questions that remind you how special the season looks through their eyes. Christmas slows everything down just enough to focus on what matters most—time together, shared smiles, and memories that stay long after the decorations come down.

    My daughters Kitty and Lolly are simply the best!

    My daughters bought me some Australian ginger beer. I love ginger beer. #Bundaberg is exceptionally nice.

    Thank you to them for all of my Christmas presents. I was one spoilt mummy. My favourite perfume and my favourite gin were amongst a multitude of gifts. #thankYou

  • Your Background

    Dec 21st, 2025

    Q. Do you have an Italian background SmileyRose?

    A. Lol, not at all. Lots of people have asked the same question. The answer is no!

    I do not speak any other languages, although I appreciate people who are from a Roman Catholic background, as my family has a similar religious background. My father converted to CofE later in life.

    People often confused me with a female named Fran, who works at the same place of employment as me. She’s a Francesca, I am #Frances. Both of our names were shortened to Fran. She is a dark Italian. I am not Italian at all. 😀

  • Favourite Musical

    Dec 21st, 2025

    Q. What is the most memorable musical you have ever watched, SmileyRose?

    A. I have many favourites; however, I particularly enjoy theatre, and my favourite musical is the Victor Hugo adaptation, *Les Misérables*. I greatly admire Michael Ball’s performance as Marius. It’s the 40th anniversary of the production this year.

    I am familiar with all of the songs from the musical and enjoy them immensely.

    1. On My Own
    2. Bring Him Home
    3. Master of the House
    4. Castle on a Cloud
    5. I Dreamed A Dream
    6. One More Day 
    7. Empty Chairs and Tables
