Q. Would you say that you are someone who does impromptu things? Do you love to be a little spontaneous?
A. That’s a good question. I would say that I am more of a planner. I like to organise and plan in advance. I need to know what I will be doing in advance; I particularly enjoy creating itineraries when I am travelling. I also like to make checklists for trips. My daughter, Kitty, is very similar to me. We once went to Ireland together, and she prepared an itinerary that was extremely well-organised. I was very impressed with her attention to detail.
Me, planning ahead 🙂 That said, I also appreciate a little spontaneity at times, such as when we both decided to see the River Dance together whilst we were in Ireland. It wasn’t something we had planned on doing beforehand, but it turned out to be the perfect choice to enjoy during our holiday together.
I also love the idea of surprise days. Everyone loves a surprise.
To answer your question, I would say that I enjoy acting spontaneously within a planned itinerary. A little of both. 🙂
Its always good to have a Plan B. 😀

I literally have a rainbow of colours in my family tree. 🙂
Remembering Cilla Black. I really miss seeing her cheery personality on the TV. She is sadly missed. 🙂

…….Thinking of you on this date, 3rd May, 2026.
Less than a month before your birthday, you peacefully passed away nine years ago. Today, I am reflecting on your memory and thinking of you on this special day. I purchased a card to give to you on your birthday, but unfortunately, you never had the chance to read it. It contained heartfelt words from a daughter who was eager to celebrate your day with you.
We greatly enjoyed celebrating your birthday. I truly miss those family gatherings. You are always remembered fondly in many ways, especially since I had the privilege of calling you “dad” for over 50 years. You were consistently there to support me.
“Lord, we thank You for the gift of our father. For his kindness, wisdom, and love that shaped our lives. May his legacy live on in our hearts, and may we honour his memory through our words and actions. Amen.”
