A few years ago, my Mum and I visited the Van Hage garden centre. It was such a lovely day. I simply loved the owls.
My previous mobile telephone used to be able to watermark my photos with my photography name, SmileyRose.
I also visited another garden centre, with my friend Julie.
It was a murky Sunday evening as I sat back in my chair, reading my new book. I briefly paused to look out at the ocean. There was a ship in the distance, just coming into view along the horizon. The memories of last year came flooding back as the tears filled my eyes. My thoughts were with my dear husband who sadly passed away last summer. We’d come away for a long weekend break and we sat together in this very same room, about a year ago, looking out to sea together. A tear trickled down my cheek as I remembered his promise to dance with me in the sunset sea after his chemotherapy treatment was over.
We hoped and prayed together, and those long gruelling trips to and from the hospital seemed never-ending. Sadly I watched him slip away from me just after our beautiful summer break together. I held onto his hand as he took his last breath, whilst whispering the words “I Love You, Baby.” It is so painful to watch someone you love, take his last breath. I sobbed until my tears ran dry.
Time was slipping by and it was almost sunset. I decided to put away my book. I needed to get a breath of fresh air, down by the seashore. It was a beautiful evening with just a gentle sea breeze. The sunset filled the sky and I could feel Gerard’s spirit all around me. He was with me. I could feel his strong arms on my shoulders, giving me a reassuring squeeze. He promised to dance with me in the sunset. Was he keeping his promise?
Suddenly, I could feel myself dancing with him in the beautiful sunset sea. It was like a dream. The sunset reflected off the water’s surface, creating a shimmering path that seemed to lead into the stars. The cool water swirled around our ankles as we moved, the gentle ripples adding a rhythmic accompaniment to our steps. his eyes, bright with joy, held mine, and our laughter echoed softly in the evening air. Each movement felt weightless and free as if the world had melted away, leaving just the two of us in this magical embrace. It was a moment of pure connection, where time stood still and the dance became a language of its own.
He did keep his promise after all. 🫠🙂
The following morning I drove home and I was greeted by our children. When I saw them standing at the doorway, I ran over to them and I gave them both a huge hug. I told them, “This One’s From Daddy.” 🤗🤗

Feeling sleepless is often characterized by an inability to fall or stay asleep, despite feeling tired.
I am feeling so tired, however, I am also feeling quite at peace with myself. I can hear the birds twittering away in the background. It is such a pretty sound.
Listening to birds at night can be a soothing and intriguing experience. Certain bird species, like nightingales, owls, and whip-poor-wills, are known for their nocturnal singing. The reasons for their night-time activity can include attracting mates, marking territory, or communicating with other birds.
Each bird has its unique song, and identifying them can be a fun challenge.
I am enjoying the peacefulness and the beauty of nature’s nocturnal concert! 🙂
A. No I have not, not ever! This I know to be true! 🙂
If I had you would all know about it. I feel sure the media or paparazzi would be taking photographs of me, whilst I was out on that date.
It is true, I have never been out on a date with anyone famous before #True.
Anyone who is told differently, then you have been given false Information. I have never been photographed by the paparazzi….only by friends and family members, with my own camera. Some of those photographs are featured here on this site. 🙂
It seems that everyone else keeps trying to pretend to be me. Why? If it’s because you think that I am after one of your favourite movie heartthrobs, then you are sadly mistaken. You can keep him! There is quite obviously a reason I don’t have have. 🙂
Q. Would I ever date an ex partner?
A. I don’t think so. You see that person would be an ex-partner, for a good reason. Even if you loved him once, it would be very awkward to form a bond with him again, once you’ve been hurt by him. Sometimes it is far better to sever all ties and to start again, with someone new.
Ask yourself one question, why did he hurt you? If you have felt a strong and passionate love for someone and then he hurts you deeply, those memories never really go away, no matter what anyone says.
If he has deeply hurt you. Can you forget that feeling? Can you forget how he made you cry and sob on your pillow, whilst you tried so hard to get some sleep? Can you really fall in love with the same man again, after he has hurt you badly?
Sadly I am not in Love, if I were, I would gladly tell the person. I definitely would not keep it a secret. Any man that I fall in love with, he would be free to love me back, because he would be with me.
I would not hide something that comes so naturally. I have been divorced for 18 years, therefore there would be nothing for me to hide.
There is nothing wrong with being single these days. I have learned to be happy and single and that is how I shall remain until I fall madly and passionately in love with with another man again.
I am still waiting for that one ‘Special’ guy.
I am not saying that I will ever fall in love again, but if I do, I will let you all know.
Until that day arrives, I’m just me, being me. 🙂
I am completely unloved. I feel quite sad sometimes as I am a good person, but I don’t want a past love to ever haunt me with all of those hurt feelings again. I learnt to let go of them a long time ago.
If you truly love someone, then you have to tell them before that moment passes by and it’s too late.
There’s no use bottling it up inside. You have to let him know how you feel.
Just say it!
“I Love You”❤️
Tell Him!
But what happens if you tell him but he insists on loving someone else?
If love was really there, you would feel it, the words are merely something you say to back up what you feel for someone.
I have not tried this yet, to see if it works. 😀
How to attach two wheelie bins, so that you can wheel them together with ease:
1. You turn both bins to face the same direction – with the green bin at the ‘front’ and the brown bin at the ‘back’.
2. Open both bin lids
3 Flip the brown bin lid all the way back so that it is now inside the green bin, and close the green bin lid on it.
4. This creates a chain’ meaning the green bin can now pull the brown bin, making it one smooth motion to wheel both bins to the side of the road.
