SmileyRose Ramblings by Frances Rose Agnes Napper (She/Her)

  • Ain’t No Mountain High Enough

    May 22nd, 2026
    I was sitting at the top of a mountain, a younger me.

    This photograph of Mount Everest is not one of my photos. It is a free image.

    “Ain’t no mountain high enough” by Diana Ross, she is an amazing singer. I had pleasure in seeing her live at the NEC Birmingham, with friends, a number of years ago.

  • Swan Lake :)

    I love watching ballet. I wished I could have stayed as young as I am in this photo, forever. Frances in her 30’s
  • Cludeo

    May 21st, 2026

    Yesterday evening, I attended a performance of “Cludeo” at the Key Theatre. The characters closely resembled those from the board game Cluedo. I was initially uncertain about what to expect, assuming the production would be a serious and traditional whodunit mystery. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The play was remarkably humorous, and I have not laughed so much in quite some time. I particularly enjoy this style of classic British humour.😅

  • Tranquillity

    May 21st, 2026

    Being close to a marina can evoke a sense of tranquillity and relaxation.

  • Cookery Demonstration – “I’m A Barbie Girl”

    May 20th, 2026
    Me – Frances

    This is a photograph of me, as a young mother. I was in the kitchen giving my young daughters a cookery demonstration with Barbie and Ken. I always thought of myself as a bit of a Nigella Lawson back in those days. 🤣

  • Now For A Little Little Chopin

    May 18th, 2026

    This is a beautiful piece: Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2

  • Where the Cliffs Meet the Restless Sea

    May 16th, 2026

    I walk where the cliffs meet the restless sea,
    Where winds sing softly they run through me.
    The ocean below in a silver-blue roar,
    Tells ancient stories forevermore.
    White foam dances on jagged stone,
    Yet up where I stand, I am not alone.
    The sky leans low in a pastel hue,
    As waves keep calling, wild and true.
    Each step I take on the weathered ground,
    Is a heartbeat matched to the ocean’s sound.
    Salt in the air, freedom in sight,
    The world feels endless in fading light.
    And there I linger, calm and free,
    Between the sky and the rolling sea.

  • Sunrise

    May 16th, 2026

    This is one of my favourite songs, sung by a very talented singer.

  • Q. What do you love to do SmileyRose

    May 15th, 2026

    A. In my spare time, I love to have photography days. I love taking photographs.

    I have been known to be photographed by someone else who is good at photography.  I was once photographed as an action woman on a spy course. It was so much fun. 😀

  • Across the Restless Sea So Bold

    May 13th, 2026

    The sunset melted into shades of gold,
    Across the restless sea so bold.
    A little boat rocked with gentle grace,
    Drifting slowly through endless space.
    The evening breeze sang soft and low,
    As crimson skies began to glow.
    Waves sparkled bright like scattered fire,
    Filling the heart with sweet desire.
    Far from the noise, far from the land,
    Only the sea and sky are so grand.
    A peaceful moment, warm and true,
    Where sunset dreams and oceans grew.
