Today was the final day of my annual leave. I popped out to Bella Italia for some food. The staff working in there were all very nice.

She felt a sense of isolation and sadness. It seemed that there was no one available to support her at that moment. As she wiped her tears and glanced away from her coffee cup, she noticed a kind gentleman looking down at her. “Excuse me, is this seat taken?” he inquired. “Not at all,” she replied, feeling a bit surprised.
He was quite handsome, and she felt a glimmer of hope. They engaged in conversation for a couple of hours, and just as he checked his watch, he realized he needed to leave urgently. Before departing, he turned back and asked, “Could I take your phone number? I wouldn’t have another way to contact you.” He appeared slightly flustered from nerves. She smiled and wrote down her mobile telephone number on a piece of scrap paper.
Meeting new people for the first time can sometimes lead to the most wonderful experiences.Was this her knight in shining armour, finally coming to save her? Was this the start of a beautiful relationship, she wondered. Did i secretely wish this man into my life. 🙂
She awoke to the realization that it had all been a dream. It was disheartening for her to confront reality once more, leaving her with a sense of confusion.
She was missing her partner. 😩

This evening, I had the pleasure of dining at the George Hotel, where I captured some vibrant photographs. The staff ware exceptionally welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I have visited The George Hotel on numerous occasions, including a memorable celebration for a family member’s 90th birthday, which feels like a lifetime ago.
I arrived at the George Hotel fairly early. Therefore, there were not many people dining at that time. It started to get busy as I was leaving. I didn’t mind as I did not really want to stare at all of those “lovey dovey” couples. Lol, it is not my thing. 🙂 The meal was very nice though. 🙂
Ps Thank you for my lovely Pink Rose on this Valentine Day. It was very thoughtful.





















Alone on Valentine’s Day
The world is wrapped in rosy glow,
While hearts and flowers steal the show.
But here I stand, just me and mine,
In a quiet space, I’ll be just fine.
No cards to send, no hand to hold,
No whispered love, no stories told.
Yet in this stillness, I find peace,
A moment’s pause, a sweet release.
For love isn’t bound to just one day,
It lives in silence, comes what may.
On Valentine’s, I’ll walk my own,
In solitude, I’ve found my throne.
A single heart, a beating drum,
I celebrate the person I’ve become.
For in the quiet, there’s love too,
And it starts with me, this much is true.
Aww then there was baby Aggie in Nanny McPhee. 🙂


Aww and here’s little Agnes (my middle name), with my two daughters C&L….and the Minions. 😃

Wishing you all a very happy Valentines Day 💝
I really love Clematis flowers. This is a photograph of one of my favourites. I grew it in a pot a few years ago.
The flowers can bloom in early spring, or summer, depending on the variety, and some even produce a delightful fragrance. Clematis plants prefer well-drained soil, plenty of sunlight, and can be pruned to encourage vigorous growth and more blooms. They are often considered a symbol of cleverness, as their twisting vines can be seen climbing with an almost clever persistence.

Lol I can be Green and White, Pink and White, Orange and White Black and White…..all under Blue and White
I am British and Commonwealth. I am NOT an outsider!
