  • Sitting Still For Half An Hour In Rome πŸ˜€

    May 7th, 2024

    I cannot believe that I sat still for about an hour, whilst an Italian gentleman sketched me. I can remember the setting. It was very pretty, sitting on a high level overlooking such pretty views of Rome.

    Although I do not know where all of my photos are, I have some good memories of my visit from about 10 years ago.

    I have always vowed that I would never return to the City unless I was in love.β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

    These are the only memories I have of my trip to Rome (5 photos). 😦

    The Colosseum in Rome, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is an iconic ancient amphitheatre located in the centre of Rome, Italy. It was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty in AD 70–72 and was completed in AD 80 by his son, Titus. The Colosseum could hold up to 80,000 spectators and was primarily used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, such as animal hunts, mock sea battles, and executions. It is one of Rome’s most popular tourist attractions and is a symbol of the city’s rich history and architectural prowess.

    If anyone sees my Italian photos, I would ideally like them returned. The only photos I have left on that holiday, I have included on my website. I am missing a photo of me wearing a green and white dress, sitting at a piano and me wearing a multi-coloured dress, sitting at the Trevi Fountain. I am also missing a photo of me with two men who were dressed in old Roman clothing. I would ideally love those photos returned.

    All of the photos were from my personal collection, from my holiday. They were all lovely photos and I want them back!!!!

  • Chicago

    May 6th, 2024

    I loved the film and the songs in this musical, so much. My daughter Catherine and I also went to see the stage musical at the West End a few years ago. We both enjoyed the show immensely.Β 

    “Chicago” is a renowned Broadway musical set in the 1920s, depicting the glamorous and gritty world of jazz, crime, and celebrity. It follows the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, two murderesses competing for fame and acquittal, all while navigating the sensationalist media and corrupt justice system. With catchy tunes, intricate choreography, and a darkly comedic tone, “Chicago” explores themes of manipulation, celebrity culture, and the pursuit of the American Dream.

    The film starred Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta Jones and Rene Zelleweger. πŸ™‚

  • London 2023 – A Visit to the M&M Store

    May 6th, 2024

    Last year, I spent a weekend in London and I stayed in a little hotel just across the road from the M&M store.

    I ❀️  M&M’s

    The M&M’s shop is typically a colourful and vibrant store dedicated to the iconic sweet brand. It often features walls lined with tubes filled with various colours and flavours of M&M’s, allowing customers to mix and match their favourite combinations. You’ll find merchandise like branded apparel, accessories, and novelty items, all adorned with the M&M’s characters. The overall atmosphere is fun and inviting, appealing to both kids and adults alike.

    Kitty, my daughter and I, met for lunch today at the Gravel Pit Brasserie, Wyboston Lakes.

It’s set amidst 350 acres of countryside and offers facilities for events, accommodation, dining, golf, and water sports. The site includes a hotel, spa, and various meeting rooms suitable for corporate events and conferences. It was very nice. πŸ™‚

    Ha, when I first heard the Police song “So Lonely” I thought they were singing Sue Lawley. I could not understand why they were singing about her. 🀣

  • The Royal Pavilion, Brighton

    May 4th, 2024

    I loved photographing The Royal Pavilion, in Brighton. It is a stunning architectural masterpiece. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, it features intricate domes and minarets. It was once a seaside retreat for the King, however, it’s now a major tourist attraction known for its exotic charm and lavish design.
