  • Breast Screening

    May 8th, 2024

    Today I went for my 3 yearly Breast Screening appointment.

    Breast screening is crucial for early detection of breast cancer, which significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.

    Regular screenings can detect abnormalities before symptoms appear, allowing for timely intervention and potentially less aggressive treatment options.

    It’s an essential tool in women’s healthcare for maintaining breast health and reducing mortality rates from breast cancer.

    Many people know of at least one person they might feel close to, who has perhaps been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer. The members of staff at our local Breast Unit are all such dedicated members of staff, who go over and beyond sometimes. They deserve tremendous support for the role they play in making everyone feel at ease and welcomed, from day one of their treatment or even if it is just for screening. They are an amazing bunch of staff.

    I felt so at ease with the ladies I saw today, at my appointment. Thank you.

  • Lovely People

    May 7th, 2024

    On the way home from work today, I chatted to a lovely lady at the bus stop. She reminded me so much of my Aunty Barbara, who sadly passed away a few years ago. Our families were very close when we were younger. In fact I still see my childhood friend Diane occasionally.

    The lady was very chatty and we established that she was from Yorkshire too, just like Aunty Barbara.

    The lady had a daughter who was on her way to pick her up, as she was in the area and when she arrived at the bus stop, she asked if her daughter could give me a lift home. They were both so sweet.

    Some people are just lovely. 😃

  • My Favourite! Waitrose.

    May 7th, 2024

    My favourite place to shop has to be Waitrose. It had everything I needed in there and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

    Thank you 🙂

    Waitrose is a British supermarket chain known for its high-quality products, fresh produce, and emphasis on customer service. It’s often associated with a more premium shopping experience compared to other supermarkets. With a focus on quality, sustainability, and community engagement, Waitrose attracts customers who value these aspects of their shopping experience.

  • Sitting Still For Half An Hour In Rome 😀

    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.❤️‍🩹

    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. 

    “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. 🙂

  • Bumblebee

    May 6th, 2024

    ❤️❤️ My computer art. A picture of me, back in 2018. 🙂

    I would love to see a sequel
