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

  • Your Background

    Dec 21st, 2025

    Q. Do you have an Italian background SmileyRose?

    A. Lol, not at all. Lots of people have asked the same question. The answer is no!

    I do not speak any other languages, although I appreciate people who are from a Roman Catholic background, as my family has a similar religious background. My father converted to CofE later in life.

    People often confused me with a female named Fran, who works at the same place of employment as me. She’s a Francesca, I am #Frances. Both of our names were shortened to Fran. She is a dark Italian. I am not Italian at all. 😀

  • Favourite Musical

    Dec 21st, 2025

    Q. What is the most memorable musical you have ever watched, SmileyRose?

    A. I have many favourites; however, I particularly enjoy theatre, and my favourite musical is the Victor Hugo adaptation, *Les Misérables*. I greatly admire Michael Ball’s performance as Marius. It’s the 40th anniversary of the production this year.

    I am familiar with all of the songs from the musical and enjoy them immensely.

    1. On My Own
    2. Bring Him Home
    3. Master of the House
    4. Castle on a Cloud
    5. I Dreamed A Dream
    6. One More Day 
    7. Empty Chairs and Tables

  • Avatar: Fire and Ash

    Dec 21st, 2025

    I have enjoyed a delightful day with my daughter Lolly, who is visiting England from Australia. We shared a very pleasant lunch together and later attended the cinema to watch Avatar: Fire and Ash. It is, to date, my favourite Avatar film. 

    Thank you, James Cameron, for creating such an impressive film; it has certainly become my favourite film of the year. The film was highly entertaining, packed with action from beginning to end, and the special effects were nothing short of brilliant. #Fantastic 🙂

  • A Fun Night Out

    Dec 21st, 2025

    A fun night out at a Christmas party tonight. There was lots of eating and dancing. I particularly liked the band.

  • My Name :)

    Dec 20th, 2025

    Q. What do people call you?

    A. Lol, I get called all sorts.
    My name is Frances,
    Rose, Agnes, Fran, Aggy, Nessy, Effie, AN, although I am mostly Na since divorce.

    I am also SmileyRose, Smiley, Rose, de, FNde and ND

    FRAN is the acronym of my full name, Frances Rose Agnes Napper. It is also my shortened name for Frances

    I was named Agnes after my grand-mother because I was her eldest grand-daughter and her eldest grandchild.
