Celebrating

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I am having a quiet Christmas day this year. My daughter is going to her partner’s mum’s house. It is okay, as I have spent five years sharing both days with my grandchildren. On Boxing day we are celebrating by going out for a meal, and opening the rest of our presents.Continue reading “Celebrating”

Second Hand

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I don’t mind reading new authors, but rarely buy new books. The last one I brought was by an author called Nicky Peacock, and The 13th Girl. I enjoyed her story about a serial killer and its female protagonist. There are many shops that allow you to buy secondhand books. The lastContinue reading “Second Hand”

Lucky Life

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I am thankful for spending time with my daughter, granddaughter, and son this year. We went on holiday together, to Devon. We spent the days going to different outings. We took our dogs, and they loved running around on the beach, when there was nobody else there, while we collected sea glass.Continue reading “Lucky Life”

Most Days

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ Most days merge, especially when I am working. Even the weekends are very similar, but during each day there is a reason to smile. When my granddaughter makes a joke, or even when she says anything serious, I can’t help but chuckle. Sharing memories loved ones is a pleasure I look forwardContinue reading “Most Days”

Pareidolia – Cloud Watching

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ As a child, I loved laying on the grass and watching the clouds go by. I would point out each shape with my friend, and it was a brilliant game. If I witnessed a swan, a horse-drawn carriage, or a deer, we would spend the afternoon in joyful company. Phsycological and partContinue reading “Pareidolia – Cloud Watching”

Blogging

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ When I first started blogging it was to promote my book, but it has grown into something else entirely. I have read some amazing posts over the years, and have loved taking part in the word prompts. Although, I have found out, that less is more. I think I posted about fiveContinue reading “Blogging”

Women’s Rights

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I agree with women’s empowerment. We cannot go back to a time when the police did nothing about domestic violence, or accused women and girls of dressing in the wrong way when men took it upon themselves to attack them or women going to back street abortionists because they could go toContinue reading “Women’s Rights”

Kindness

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ What is better, nationalism or humanity? This is a simple answer; showing kindness. Sometimes nationalism, being proud of the country we live in, is used in the wrong way. When we are playing football, flying the Union Jack is a sign we are rooting for our football, rugby, hockey team. However, itContinue reading “Kindness”

Being a Mum

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ The best part of my life is when I became a mum and a grannie. My children are my greatest joy, and I remember holding them and wondering how we created something so perfect. My daughter is the oldest. Our son, born five years later, made our little family complete. I wouldContinue reading “Being a Mum”
