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 🫠

  • Sombre Mood

    I visited an elderly relative in Stamford today. Yes, it can be tough to witness the people we care about ageing before our very eyes. It’s a natural part of life, but it can still be emotionally challenging to see them go through it.

    It’s an opportunity to cherish the moments you have together and to support them through any difficulties they may face. Remember to express your love and appreciation for them regularly and be there for them emotionally and physically as they navigate the changes that come with ageing. It’s also essential to take care of yourself and seek support if you find it difficult to cope with witnessing their ageing process.

    Nobody wants to watch what was once a vibrant rose, slowly wilt away.

    It was nice to stop off for a drink at the  Haycock Hotel later this evening.

    I enjoyed a relaxing evening with a refreshing gin & tonic, whilst having a good chat. It was delightful.

    Cheers to a peaceful moment!

  • “Dirty Dancing” 

    “Dirty Dancing is a film I have watched many times. The film starred the late PatrickSwayze and Jennifer Grey. I love dancing. If the truth be known, as a young woman, I used to frequent our local nightclub, in my home town, Stamford. The club was called “The Riverside” and friends and I used to love dancing the night away. It was only a small club, situated in a small market town, however, I can remember us all dancing around our handbags. 😁

    I miss the old market town as it was. It was a lovely quaint old Market Town, filled with stone buildings. It was very pretty.

    Both of my parents were excellent dancers. They both loved to ballroom dance. They were particularly good at dancing the waltz.

    I used to take my children to Ballet and Ballroom dancing classes at “Browns” in Peterborough. It was a very nice dance studio.

    Dancing can evoke a range of emotions depending on the individual and the context. For many people, dancing can be exhilarating, freeing, and joyful. It often allows them to express themselves creatively, release stress, and connect with others in a unique way.

  • A Massage

    Recently I have had a lot of tension and stress-related shoulder aches, therefore I was happy to go for a lovely head-to-toe massage with Dan this morning. I didn’t realise that I was so much in need of a good massage. 🙂

    After the massage, I felt deeply relaxed, with tension relieved from my muscles and joints. I felt a calmness and tranquillity, as well as improved flexibility and mobility. There was a temporary euphoric feeling due to the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. The minute I walked into the room, the soft music and the peaceful ambience at the studio were very welcoming.

    I have heard that additionally, a massage can promote better sleep quality and overall well-being, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.#FingersCrossed

    Thank you Dan.

  • Edinburgh, Scotland

    I took a trip to Scotland a couple of years ago and I had a really fun time taking photographs at Edinburgh Castle.

    I took this stunning photograph, on the way towards the Castle.  Walking the mile in Scotland can be a delightful experience, especially if you’re referring to Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile. It’s a historic street connecting Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyroodhouse, lined with shops, cafes, and historic landmarks. It offers a glimpse into Scotland’s rich history and culture as you stroll along its cobblestone streets.
