A lovely lunch at the Tap & Kitchen, Oundle, this afternoon. Good food, good company.
The venue had a warm feel to it. 🙂

I’m eating a juicy Mango. 🙂

Me just a couple of years ago, looking “Pretty in Pink.”

A mother’s role
is part shelter, part sky.
She is the place you land
when the world feels sharp,
and the one who gently opens her hands
when it’s time for you to fly.
She teaches without speeches—
how to love, how to fall and rise,
how strength can be quiet
and still unbreakable.
A mother worries in silence,
cheers in the loudest rooms,
and carries her children in her heart
long after, they no longer need her arms.
And when she lets go,
it isn’t because love has grown smaller—
it’s because it has grown brave.
My daughter Lauren and I recently enjoyed a wonderful day in London. We attended a performance of “The Lion King” at the Lyceum Theatre; the production was truly exceptional, vibrant, and we thoroughly appreciated the music.
Before the show, we had drinks at the Punch & Judy in Covent Garden.
We dined at the Indian restaurant, Paro, which served a very delightful meal.
Finally, we enjoyed drinks at the Royal Ballet and Opera House.
Lauren and I shared this day together, and we created special memories; it was a meaningful time for mother and daughter. 🙃🙂






















Another Netlix film I really liked.

I have watched two fabulous films on Netflix recently. I loved both “The Perfect Pairing” and “A Beautiful Life“





The Chronicles Of Narnia – The Magicians Nephew – this 2005 film is a prequel to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, later written by C S Lewis. This was my favourite childhood book.

I had a most pleasant afternoon with my two daughters, shopping in my hometown of Stamford. It had been quite some time since my last visit. Since the passing of Dad and Marion, I have not had many opportunities to return. As a result, we thoroughly enjoyed our walk around the town. We also shared a lovely lunch at the Cosy Club.
