  • Reflecting On Past Experiences

    Sep 19th, 2025

    Recently, I took the opportunity to organise and search through my attic. It’s often surprising what items you rediscover during such a decluttering process. I found some of my childhood memories  “My Tiny Tears,” an old Barbie doll, and a bundle of handwritten letters.

    Additionally, I came across a few newspaper clippings and articles that I had kept.  The photographs brought back many fond memories as well.

    Occasionally, reflecting on past experiences can be a valuable and rewarding activity.:)

  • Canal Boating

    Sep 19th, 2025

    During my earlier years, I fondly recall spending time boating on the river at Upton-on-Severn with my aunt and uncle. These outings were truly enjoyable and memorable. Since then, I have been boating multiple times with a different family member and a friend.

    Each experience has provided some of the most relaxing moments of my life.

    I loved those relaxing Sunday afternoons and stopping at a pub for lunch.Β  I have not been in ages, however Canal boating is tops.πŸ™‚

  • Damsel In Distress – Home Safe

    Sep 17th, 2025

    Have you ever found yourself sitting in your car, on the parkway, and  feeling uncertain about what to do next?

    This evening, I experienced a moment of panic. My front tyre suddenly blew out, which was quite an unsettling experience. I noticed a burning smell coming from the clutch, and my car would not shift into gear. I felt stranded and alone.

    There was a young woman travelling on a motorcycle who stopped to check if I was okay. She also communicated with other drivers to alert them that my car had come to a standstill.

    During this stressful situation, a young gentleman  named James, who was returning home from the gym, stopped to offer me assistance, along with another individual named Emmanuel. They both helped push my car to a safer location. James efficiently took control to replace the tyre. He was like some superhero. I was impressed with how quickly they were able to get my vehicle operational again. I sincerely appreciate both of them for their kindness, support, and for ensuring my safety this evening. James kindly accompanied me in his vehicle as I drove home, just to ensure there were no further issues. I was so glad to get home.

    Thank you both very much for your assistance and for steering my car to safety after it came to a complete stop.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help.

    Ps RAC Response times was 5 hours last night. Someone was watching over me.

    I mentioned to James that he’d make a good action hero, lol he mentioned that he had a cameo part in the Gladiators. 😁

  • Downton Abbey: The Grande Finale

    Sep 14th, 2025
    Downton Abbey

    This evening, I attended the Showcase Cinema to watch: Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. I have been an avid follower of the franchise, and I can say that this final episode did not disappoint.

    It was wonderful to see the original cast members from the first two films.

    My favorite character in the film is Lady Mary. I found it interesting to observe how divorce was quite frowned upon during the 1930s.

    The film starred Michelle Dockery and Hugh Bonneville. It was great to see the tribute paid to the late Maggie Smith, who was a remarkable actress. RIP Dame Maggie Smith.

    I am feeling quite emotional now re it being the final episode. I felt the same when the TV series “Upstairs, Downstairs” ended.

    I highly recommend you watch the film.

    Ps There was one part right at the end of the film that I did not quite understand when the name Sybil was mentioned. I was a little lost. πŸ™‚
