Frances Rose Agnes Napper – My Background. This Me

Sep 22nd, 2024

Not a lot of people know this, but the biggest part of my background is Scottish, however, I have only ever grown up in England, which is the reason why I have an English accent. 🙂

I have a history of Scottish ancestors who all date back 100’s of years ago, to Fife, in Scotland and Hampshire in England, which is the reason why I do not speak any other languages other than the English language.

I also have an Irish, a very little (Indian and European backgroud….in my lineage), which dates back to the RAJ, when India was know as British India. Basically, there were many British people who resided in India, during the British Rule (British Emperor), for about 100 years. My family have been traced right back to before the British rule in India, to Scotland and England.
My Lovely Flowers

I Love This Time Of The Year.

Autumn leaves are often celebrated for their vibrant colours and the way they signal the change of seasons. As deciduous trees shed their leaves, they create beautiful landscapes filled with shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. This process, known as abscission, is not just visually stunning but also part of the natural cycle of trees preparing for winter.
What Language Is Your Primary Language SmileyRose?

Sep 16th, 2024

Q. What language did your parents speak as their primary language SmileyRose?

A. Neither could speak any other language, other than the English language.

Q. What is the primary language of the rest of your family SmileyRose, ie what language did your sisters, ex-husband and children speak?

A. They could only speak the English language as their primary language. It was the only language we all spoke together.

If you come from a Scots, Irish, Welsh, American, New Zealand or Australian background, you are likely to speak English as your primary language!

If you come from another white background, it may mean that English is not necessarily your primary language.

Primary language is the language that someone uses most frequently to communicate with. It is the language a person uses in most situations. For many people, their primary language is their first language, but for others, their primary language might be their second language.

My family’s primary language, #English, is their first language.
“On My Own”

Sep 15th, 2024

Frances Ruffle (my name sake) sings “On My Own” from the Victor Hugo musical, Les Miserables, a show I went to see a number of years ago at the Westend, London. It is still one of my favourite musicals ever. 🙂
