  • My Holiday 2026

    Mar 18th, 2026

    Sometimes, going away on your own can be fabulous and very therapeutic. I loved my own company, but it was also nice to chat yo a few friendly people on my travels.  It would have been nice to go away with a friend or a member of my family. However, all of the people I know were all working. Rather than stay at home, I decided it would be good to have a nice little getaway, just to chill out on my own. Somewhere lovely and peaceful.🙂

    My holiday began by staying at this lovely hotel called Petwood. My room was just lovely. The staff were very nice. 🙂

    This was a quaint little Police Station

    I then headed off to my next destination, to continue my lovely holiday.

    The ceiling in the tree house. It was beautiful x
    My favourite place to relax.

    My beautiful photo of the day.

    Beautiful – My view from my room
    So delicious. Salmon Encroute.
    I loved doing G&T’s
    Relaxing in a hammock

    Feeling so relaxed.

    The birds love this!
    😀
    At the end of the day

    Bags all packed
  • Big Cat and Born Free

    Mar 15th, 2026

    I was watching Big Cat 24/7 on the TV this evening.

    Wow! I had tears in my eyes when the lion prides reunited following a period of separation.  The process is marked by vigorous social bonding behaviours, including head rubbing and vocalisations. It is absolutely wonderful to see.

    I was a fan of “Born Free” as a child.

    Me on action with my camera 🙂

    The Born Free television series ran on NBC from September 1974 to December 1974. It was a short-lived, 13-episode series, following the 1966 film and the true story of rearing a lioness. I loved the series. 🙂

  • Daffodils Dancing In The Wind

    Mar 15th, 2026

    I captured this photograph during a visit to RAF Duxford a few years ago. The daffodils were gently swaying in the wind. They looked so pretty.

    Daffodils Dancing In The Wind

    Daffodils dancing in the wind,
    Golden heads that gently bend,
    Whispering softly to the day,
    As clouds and sunlight drift and play.
    They sway as though they know a song,
    A melody the breeze hums along,
    Bright little flames upon the green,
    The happiest sight that spring has seen.
    They nod and twirl in fields so wide,
    With joy they simply cannot hide,
    As if the earth itself has smiled
    At something simple, sweet, and wild. 🌼🌿

  • Happy Mothering Sunday

    Mar 15th, 2026

    Happy Mothering Sunday to all mothers out there. 💐🌼🌹🌸🏵

    I woke up to my lovely daughters voice this morning. I realised just how much I have missed her since she returned to Australia, but distance does not have to be far away, especially when love transcends physical separation, proving that distance does not have to be a barrier when hearts are deeply connected.

    Thank you for making me feel happy today. I love you with all of my heart. 🩷

    I have chatted with both of my daughters recently. They were very warming conversations, heart to heart. I love you both more than words can say. You are both always in my heart.

    Always remember — no matter how grown you are, you will forever be my precious daughters. 🩷

    Children are the morning light
    that slips gently through the day,
    little voices filled with wonder
    as they laugh, run, and play.
    They carry dreams in tiny hands,
    hope shining in their eyes,
    turning ordinary moments
    into a beautiful surprise.
    They grow like flowers in a garden,
    each one bright and free,
    yet somehow in their growing
    they grow a part of me.
    And though the years may guide them far
    to paths I cannot see,
    my love will walk beside them—
    wherever they may be. 🌷

    Omg! A box has just arrived. 😳

    So beautiful!
    So beautiful

    Thank you Catherine, from the bottom of my heart. When you receive the most beautiful flowers, it makes you want to smile and cry at the same time.

    Thank you. I love you.

    You two complete me! 🩷🩷

    A roast dinner for dinner 😁

  • This Blogsite

    Mar 14th, 2026

    This website is somewhat akin to the treehouse I have recently been staying in. It provides a peaceful retreat away from the crowds, a space where I can feel completely at ease. It is a place where I enjoy sharing my thoughts and displaying some of my own photographs. It is my sanctuary — my personal space. 😀

    Me 🙂
