Lol, me wearing my cute “Valentine Bunny Ears” a few years ago.
The 14th February is fast approaching. I have not made any definite plans for this Valentines Day. However, I would admit to being a hopeless romantic.

I love romance. Here are a few tantalising and romantic poems to get you in the mood for Valentines Day:
________________________
If love had a sound,
it would be your name
spoken softly
at the end of a long day.
If love had a place,
it would be the space
between your heartbeat and mine,
where the world finally rests.
______________________
I don’t want you politely.
I want you like fire wants air,
like night wants the moon
close enough to touch.
I want the ache,
the pull,
the way my name sounds different
when it’s on your lips.
________________________
Come closer.
Close enough
that my thoughts blur,
that desire speaks first
and reason never gets a turn.
Kiss me
like this moment
is the only one
that matters.
_______________________
Stand that close again
and tell me you don’t feel it—
the heat rising,
the way restraint trembles
between us.
I want your mouth
hovering just long enough
to be cruel,
just close enough
to drive me wild.
_______________________
I want you slowly—
the kind of slow
that hurts in the best way.
Eyes lingering,
breaths colliding,
every second stretching
until wanting you
is louder than thought.
This is the fire
that doesn’t rush.
It consumes.
______________________
Take your time with me.
I want the unhurried version of you—
the one who knows
desire ripens best
when touched slowly.
Let minutes melt,
let anticipation do the work,
until wanting becomes
a soft, exquisite ache.
_______________________
Your voice finds me
in the quiet places,
low, careful,
as if my heart
might bruise if spoken to loudly.
I hold every word
like it’s meant
only for me.

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“
