(9) Where was I?

This city is an active port located on the Bay of Biscay. The city traces its origins to the Gallo-Roman period. It is now one of the largest yachting harbours along this coast. The entrance of the port has two large medieval towers that once protected its port.

Where was I ?

I was in La Rochelle, France ❤️

Reflecting on My Most Challenging Choice: Justice vs. Family

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

The hardest decision I’ve ever had to make…

I was a teenager. I had to decide if I was going to instigate legal proceedings, give evidence in a Crown Court of Law in the hope of prosecution.

In truth, I didn’t really have any choice… if I wanted justice.

I went ahead. A two week Crown Court case with the victim and the perpetrator in the same room….

As to why it was a difficult decision?

Because it was against my own father.

It was a harrowing trial, but it was a decision I do not regret! A decision I am proud of!


I’m hitting town today with friends…a bit of galavanting, lunch, shenanigans, and 💃💃💃 🤗🤗

Happy Thursday! Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️

Festive Food

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

As a child I was brought up in a Jehovah Witness household. Therefore, we didn’t celebrate any holidays.

Just to clarify, I am not a Jehovah’s Witness!

A JW does not celebrate Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentines, Halloween, Easter….nothing!

As a child, this was difficult! Difficult for myself, and my siblings…we were outcasts in our community, school, friends…everything!

I now, wholeheartedly, celebrate all of these events, with my friends. ❤️

Roast Turkey at Christmas, lamb at Easter, (oh, and of course…chocolate eggs 🍫🐣😋), cake on birthdays, Mother’s Day (I won’t go into that), Valentines chocolates, and Halloween pumpkins.

Roll on Christmas celebratory dishes! 😋😋😋

Happy Wednesday! ♥️

What would I do? 🤔

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

What would I do if I didn’t need to sleep…🤔

Well, I think that all depends on whether it was only myself, a select few, or everyone!

If everyone didn’t need to sleep, our daily working hours would increase… that’s for sure! It would cost us a lot more in energy, food, fuel, etc….it certainly wouldn’t give us more time to play!

If, on the other hand, it was just me, or a select few…. I would get up to all sorts of mischief & shenanigans….😉🙃🥳💃💃

Happy Tuesday….I hope you all slept well! 🛌💤 💃💃

Thank you! 🤗🌻🙏♥️♥️♥️

Thirdly: The daily prompt question….

I haven’t got any pet peeves…at the moment! 😁♥️

Have a wonderful Monday! 🌻♥️🌻

Chocolate with Hazelnuts! 😋

Who are your current most favorite people?

Strange question! 🤨🤔

Do you mean….this second, moment, minute, hour, day….? 🤷‍♀️

The word ‘favourite’ is like choosing your favourite chocolate bar.

Choosing ‘favourite’ people….😱

The people I ‘admire’, the people I’m truly ‘thankful’ to, the people who gave me ‘hope’ …. Are the people who work in the medical profession. The Consultants, Nurses, Surgeons, Porters, Physiotherapists….the list goes on.

But….just so you know, I’m rather partial to chocolate with hazelnuts! 😋🤗.

Happy Sunday! ❤️

Reversing animaL

What are your favorite animals?

My favourite animals? 🤔🤨🧐

Well, I like reversing animals….no I don’t mean animals that walk backwards 🤷‍♀️. I mean….

The lamina of a leaf, or a thin sheet of paper or metal, the lamina that protects the spine, not forgetting the mathematical term used in geometry. And I mustn’t forget….the all important lamina roofing! 😍

These are my favourite s’lamina…🤗🤗

Happy Saturday ❤️

The Beach! 🌊

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

As a child I lived by the ocean (not as nice as a this one), on the South Coast of England. There wasn’t any mountains, so the beach was my playground.

My Grandmother would swim in the sea everyday, even in the winter! 🥶🥶. I didn’t join her….😂
