  • “Westlife”

    Nov 30th, 2025

    I’m crying. Wow! I’m watching Westlife at the Royal Albert Hall in concert, at the cinema. It is so good! The female singer Lauren is just fabulous! Such a beautiful voice.

    Omg! When Catherine Jenkins came out to sing “You Raise Me Up”….I cried again.

    The show was just fabulous. πŸ‘Œ

  • I’m A Barbie Girl

    Nov 24th, 2025

    Q. Can you remember your first #BarbieDoll SmileyRose?

    A. Yes, I still have her somewhere. I can remember living on the RAF camp at Old Sarum, Salisbury, Witshire. It was during the children’s Christmas party when Santa arrived by helicopter, bringing each of us a small gift.

    He called us by name to collect our presents. I was delighted when I unwrapped mine, as it was my first ever Barbie doll. While most of my friends had blonde-haired Barbie dolls, mine was special because it had my skin colour. The Mattel logo was inscribed on the doll’s bottom. 😁

    I was very pleasedβ€”I had a Barbie that resembled me. It was perhaps one of the very first #Barbies I’d ever owned. I can remember my friends all having  blonde barbies, and I felt a little left out. I didn’t moan. But Santa Clause made one little girl very happy that year. 

    Re below: I forgot to mention that at the age of 5 yrs old, I wanted to be a hairdresser when i grew up. I can remember giving my Barbie a haircut. I cried when her hair never grew back! πŸ˜‰

    I never did become a hairdresser. 🀣

    As a child, I always said that I would never tire of playing with my Barbies. Can you imagine how excited I was at having two daughters. My very own Barbies! Lol, I used to love dressing them in similar outfits. Their outfits often matched mine. We looked like triplets. 😍😁
