A. When a man tells you that he loves you and then he is seen with another partner who is half his age….you realise that he is a liar and a cheat!
Very seldomly, he may be seen with an older partner. It happens.
You can either put up with it or you can turn around and walk away from it.
You can love someone, but you do not need to put up with that sort of treatment.
You can give him an ultimatum. It’s either you or her. If he does not give you a reasonable answer or he chooses her, then the answer is quite obvious.
After The Love Has Gone -
A few days to recuperate. 🙂
I went to see Coldplay at Wembley a few years ago, the band were simply amazing. This is my favourite Coldplay song. 🙂

I had a lovely walk around Flag Fen (Bronze Age) last week. It was a lovely peaceful afternoon. I stopped off to have a pot of tea with a dinosaur.
Flag Fen is an important Bronze Age archaeological site located in the Fens of eastern England, near Peterborough. Dating back to around 1350 BCE to 950 BCE, it offers a unique glimpse into prehistoric life in Britain. Here are some key features and aspects of the site:
- Timber Causeway and Platform: Flag Fen is best known for its extensive timber causeway and platform, which stretched over a kilometer and consisted of thousands of oak posts. This construction is believed to have had both practical and ceremonial purposes, possibly serving as a pathway across the wet fenland and as a place for ritual activities.
- Waterlogged Preservation: The anaerobic conditions of the wetland have preserved organic materials, such as wood, textiles, and plant remains, exceptionally well. This has provided archaeologists with invaluable insights into the daily life, technology, and environment of the Bronze Age.
- Finds and Artifacts: Numerous artifacts have been uncovered at Flag Fen, including tools, weapons, pottery, and personal items. These finds indicate a community engaged in various activities such as farming, crafting, and trade.
- Sacrificial Offerings: Evidence suggests that the site may have been a place for ritual offerings. Items such as swords, spears, and jewelry have been found deliberately placed in the water, possibly as votive offerings to deities or spirits.
- Excavations and Research: Archaeological excavations at Flag Fen began in the 1980s, led by Dr. Francis Pryor. The research has significantly contributed to the understanding of Bronze Age societies in the region and their interactions with the landscape.
- Visitor Experience: Today, Flag Fen is an open-air museum, allowing visitors to explore reconstructed Bronze Age structures, view artifacts, and learn about the site’s history through exhibits and educational programs.
Overall, Flag Fen stands out as a remarkable site for studying the Bronze Age due to its well-preserved remains and the wealth of information it provides about prehistoric life in the British Isles.

I saw these beautiful flowers at the Cedars Residential Home today. They were so pretty.

They were all Copyrighted to me, they are featured on this blogsite and whoever has removed the copyright and the watermarks, will you remove my photographs off your blogsite/Facebook pages. You all owe me.
I have NEVER given my permission to anyone to use any of my photographs.
Someone has been constantly removing my photographs and they are using them. This has been going on for a period of 12 years! Now stop! The person initially stole them from my hacked Facebook page and then ny Google photos where I store only private photographs.
They are are all photographs that I could have made money on.
Photos still missing:
Holiday in Rome with photos of me. One of me sitting at a piano wearing a green and white dress.
Air Show at Kimbolton
Cyprus Holidays
Plus a lot more!
Lots of photos whereby someone has removed the watermarks
All of the photographs featured on this blogsite, were all photographed by me.

My salt and pepper pots. The white one will always remind me of Bradley Bunny, who sadly passed away last year.
He is sadly missed. I keep his memory as Bradley still has his own Facebook page. I was his “one and only” best friend.

Another one of my favourite songs I enjoy listening to songs by the band Journey.
I love Mariah Carey singing this song too.

In a beautiful location. I wonder what kind of a story this old tree could tell me, if only it could talk to me. 🙂
My location: Ashby Castle. I stayed overnight at “The World’s End” Hotel, which is only a few miles away from here. I wanted to be here as early as possible, soon after breakfast. 🙂
Ashby Castle, also known as Ashby de la Zouch Castle, is a historic site located in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Northants, England. It was originally constructed in the 12th century and expanded significantly in the 15th century by Lord Hastings, who transformed it into an impressive fortified manor house.
Key features of Ashby Castle include:
- Tower: The castle’s most striking feature is its grand tower, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to the top.
- Chapel: A beautifully preserved medieval chapel that showcases the religious architecture of the time.
- Gardens: The castle is surrounded by extensive gardens, which were once designed in the style of a Tudor garden.
- Ruins: Much of the castle is in ruins, providing a picturesque and atmospheric glimpse into its storied past.
- Underground Passage: An intriguing underground passage that connects different parts of the castle, which was used for defense and escape routes.
The castle played a significant role during the Wars of the Roses and was later slighted (deliberately damaged) during the English Civil War to prevent its use as a stronghold. Today, Ashby Castle is managed by English Heritage and is open to the public, offering a blend of historical insight and scenic beauty.
I have had a lovely few days away from work. Sadly, my short break is drawing to an end. Back to work on Monday. 😞
