  • When Irish Eyes Are Smiling 😃

    Oct 4th, 2025

    This beret still makes me smile. I was wandering around the Peterborough museum when I came across it. I just had to try it on. It had the scarf attached.:)

  • Soft System Methodology (SSM)

    Sep 27th, 2025

    This morning provided a valuable learning experience. I had the opportunity to learn from my daughter.  She introduced me to Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), which is a systems thinking framework developed by Peter Checkland at Lancaster University. She demonstrated a technique designed to address complex “messy” human problems.

    She assigned a brief 10-minute task for me to complete, which involved creating a Rich Picture—a visual diagram that captures a complex problem scenario to represent diverse viewpoints.

    It was a highly engaging experience, and I found her teaching approach to be exceptional.

    It was all so very interesting.

    I am grateful for the insight and guidance provided by my daughter. Thank you very much, Catherine. I love you 🩷

  • Pirates Of The Caribean

    Sep 21st, 2025

    Today, I went to see two films at the Odean Cinema in town. I love the “Pirates Of The Carrabean” films. Lol, the thought of my great grandfather came to my mind. He was a tall blonde gentleman who reminded me of a pirate when I looked at some of his photographs.

    Re my #shipwreck photograph. I enjoyed a lovely holiday in  #Zante a few years ago. To reach Shipwreck Beach (Navagio Beach), I took a boat tour from Zakynthos Town.

  • Black Or White ? Who cares!

    Sep 21st, 2025

    There are a lot of people who live in England who are from a white parent background and a black parent background. If the child only relates to one parent more than the other, is that child white or black British? Black or white is based on your culture, language, and religion, therefore those children who appear black, but take after their white parent, perhaps because one of their parents was absent from their lives, why are they made to feel like an alien if they don’t understand the black side of their family? What if they are adopted? Black or White, why does it matter if you have all been given a British passport? If the British have a problem with someone’s  colour, then don’t issue British passports! Give them a green card instead!

    Everyone is #British, if they have a passport, surely?

    The colour of your skin should not make a difference to how you have been brought up!

    Should someone spend their lives being a colour or a human being!

    Surely, treating people like aliens, this causes more racial tension. Why not treat people like individuals and human beings instead, and not a colour!

    I am not a colour, I am a human being.

  • The Stilton Bell

    Sep 21st, 2025

    I had a super evening at #TheStiltonBell with my daughter #Kitty. The food was very good and we loved the restaurant.
