……Reading a magazine whilst having a foot soak. This is lovely and relaxing. A little pampering is good for you. 🙂
Lol I am one of those people who just has to look at the sun and I start to suntan. Laughing at my feet though. The other day, during the hot weekend, I was out in the garden, and only half of my foot, managed to catch the sun.
Now I have a two-tone foot. Half of it looks brown and the other half looks a bit wishy-washy, almost white.
So glad it wasn’t my face! 🤣🤣
I sat down to watch this Netflix film this afternoon. It was a lighthearted romantic comedy film, which was quite entertaining. My favourite part was when they all jumped into the pool at the end. Lol it reminded me of a family holiday in Mallorca.
This Robert Miles sing has been a favourite fore many years.
I loved the film “Dear Frankie” ….which is a DVD I could not wait to buy and watch. 🙂
I have watched both films more than once…and I love both. 🙂
A fairer system re the taxes we pay. I completely agree with it. #QuestionTime
Why is it that the rich keep getting richer and the ordinary people who work hard for a living, struggle to make ends meet, even though they work hard?
How is it that unemployed people, can afford to run a car? I was not able to afford to run a car when I did not have a job.
It seems to me that it is the ordinary folk who work hard for a living, are the people who get stung for higher taxes etc. We need a much fairer system then we have presently!
I have always driven an oldish vehicle until It becomes too expensive for me to repair it and then I exchange it for another old vehicle. I have never driven a new car. It cost me £700 to put my car through its last MOT, last year!
When you look around you and you can see people who do not go to work for a living, being able to afford better vehicles than you, yes it does make you feel lousy and tired because you can’t afford to do the same, even though you go out to work all day.
I have worked hard for a living, for much of my working life. I gave up full-time work briefly, when I was married, to care for our children. My ex-husband was a shift worker. I then went back to work full-time, however, we were in the process of divorcing at that time (18 years ago). We hit hard times financially because Police families struggled. It is not easy raising a young family when you have a husband who is a shift worker. It made it awkward for me to find a job that fitted in with our family life, at that time.
Of course, I feel envious when I see ordinary people who do not work for a living, those who can work, who claim benefits and sing on smule/play on the internet all day, but who will not go to work for a living, as I have to, being able to afford better cars etc, than I have!
I have never claimed any unemployment benefits. I started my working life at the age of 16 years old. I did any reputable job, just to get into a full-time job.
I am for the ordinary folk who work hard for a living!
Friend Debbie and I went for a walk around Stilton this evening. I took some great photos a few years ago when I went to the Stilton Cheese Rolling Festival. I can remember taking some great photographs at the event.
This year’s Stilton Cheese Rolling event takes place this weekend on Sunday 26th May 20254.
Whilst walking I came across this lovely display of roses.
My holiday in Bude, a charming coastal town in North Cornwall, UK, offered a delightful mix of natural beauty, outdoor activities, and relaxed seaside charm.
Bude boasts some of the best beaches in Cornwall. Summerleaze Beach, with its iconic sea pool, is perfect for swimming and family activities. Crooklets Beach, known for its excellent surfing conditions, attracts surf enthusiasts of all levels.
Events and Festivals Throughout the year, Bude hosts various events and festivals, such as the Bude Jazz Festival and the Bude Carnival, which add a lively dimension to your visit. These events celebrate local culture and attract visitors from all over.
I decided to jump in the car and off I went, to enjoy a week in Bude, on my own. I met up with an old school friend Barbara and her partner, whilst I was on holiday. We all met up for a couple of days during my holiday.
Overall, my holiday in Bude combined relaxation and adventure.
Please stop telling me what nationality I am! I know what I am.
My nationality: I do not care what colour, religion or gender you are. I have made friends with people from all walks of life.
I just like ‘Nice and respectful People.’
My nationality is ❤️
You can call me what you like until you are blue in the face!
Talk to me, then make your own mind up, but please do not guess.
Heres a clue:
I am a female who speaks the English language only, as her mother tongue. Sorry, I cannot speak or understand any other languages.
I do not speak any other languages because in my era there was no great importance placed on learning another language. My family, including my parents, just soke the English language.
I am well-traveled and I have loved learning about different cultures over a long period. I have been travelling since a baby. I also travelled with my Father. He was a member of the British Royal Air Force.
I am from a Christian only background.
I have grown up in England, ever since a baby.
