I love to eat good food that is nicely presented.
This was a lovely baguette served with some salad and crisps at the Haycock Hotel, Wansford.
I have some lovely photographs of the Wansford bridge to add to this post soon. 🙂

Here’s one English breakfast I enjoyed when I went to stay at Bacton.
Cooked Breakfast A traditional cooked breakfast—often called a full English breakfast—is a hearty, comforting start to the day, especially loved across the UK.
Here’s what you’ll typically find on the plate:
Eggs – fried, scrambled, or poached
Bacon – usually back bacon (thicker and meatier than streaky)
Sausages – pork sausages, often called “bangers.” The one above was a bit long and skinny. 🤣🙂

This song reminds me of my mother and father. My parents were great ballroom dancers. My father loved the Waltz. It was his favourite.

It’s such a lovely song. 🙂

It has been a few years since my beloved pet bunny passed away. I miss him so much.
Bradley Soft Little Goodbye
In a corner where you used to rest,
A hush has fallen, soft and blessed.
No tiny paws, no gentle thump,
No curious nose, no playful jump.
You nibbled days like clover sweet,
With velvet ears and heartbeat neat,
A fragile soul, so small, so bright,
A flicker of love, a whisper of light.
The hay lies still, the bowl untouched,
But oh, how deeply you were loved.
In every hop, in every stare,
You left your quiet magic there.
Run now where the grasses grow,
Where soft winds wander, kind and slow,
Where endless fields in sunlight gleam,
And life is one long, peaceful dream.
Though you have gone, you’re not apart—
You’ve burrowed deep inside my heart.
A tiny life, yet love so wide…
My gentle friend, my soft goodbye.
Bradley kisses He was so sweet, right to the very end. He lived to be 8 years old. He was such a cute character. He loved me singing to him, which is another reason I joined Smile.
He was my best friend during covid and lockdown and also after my father passed away. I will never forget him. 🙂🩷

I’m listening to “Save the Best for Last” by Vanessa Williams ‧ 1991
It is such a lovely song. I like to save the best for last. 🙂

I’m listening to “City Of Stars”, which is from the film “LaLa Land.” I loved the film. I can remember watching the film 9 years ago, the same year my father passed away. The film starred Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

I was listening to this beautiful song, “When Someone Loved Me” 🙂
I love the song so much. 🩷🙂
The song is from one of my favourite animated films, “Toy Story,” which starred Tom Hanks and a host of other stars. 🙂

Q. What school did you attend, Frances, when you resided in Cyprus?
A. I attended two British schools during my years living in Cyprus. My father was posted to Cyprus in the 1970’s. He was in the British Royal Air Force. Before my father retirement, he worked in the Education Department.
My educational journey included time at Campbell Junior School and subsequently at St John’s Secondary School. Both schools provided excellent education.
They were exclusively British schools, staffed solely by British teachers. Someone assumed that, having lived in Cyprus as a child, I attended a Cypriot school. However, this was not the case. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Cyprus and had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people. I was honoured to serve as a bridesmaid at a Cypriot wedding.
I have a great appreciation for Greek culture; however, this does not make me Cypriot. I only resided there for a brief period. During that time, I had some of the most memorable experiences of my life. I also maintain friendships with a few individuals from Cyprus (Greek Cypriots), and we have been in touch and visited each other since our childhood.
I sometimes think about all of those lovely friends I made during my school years and the locals i made friends with. They were special days. 🙂
You may reside in a different country and hold a deep appreciation for its culture without necessarily being from that cultural background. I only lived there during my childhood and still speak only English. Neither of my parents was Greek Cypriot; however, like myself, they enjoyed living in Cyprus.
I returned to England with a notable tan. Residing in warm countries can lead to skin tanning over an extended period. I had a healthy glow upon my return to England, which was quite pleasant.
Aww, I have such a lot of lovely memories.

I simply love this Neil Sadaka song. It is so sad that we recently lost Neil Sadaka RIP.
“Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”
I love this cover version by Gloria Estevan.
I have always been a fan of Gloria Estafan.
