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

  • Jolene by Dolly Parton

    May 22nd, 2026

    She is probably one of the best country singers of all time.

    I love Dolly Parton songs.

  • 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 :)

    May 22nd, 2026
    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. 😀
