Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

It has to be Ice Cream,because it is such a treat in all its’ forms.

From childhood it was an ice cream bar with a semi-soft biscuit  enclosing  vanilla flavoured  ice cream, just  like a wafer with two delicious white  blobs which  you could buy  from the ice cream van,except the  factory made offering came from the display cabinet freezer in the local shop and was wrapped in attractive packaging and seemed “better”.

I can’t remember what it was called, but over the years I’ve seen variations of it in shops and supermarkets but they never match the original.I even wish the little shop with the freezer cabinet still existed,but it’s probably long gone

So there you are….

Namaste and Thank You for Reading

Who is your favorite historical figure?

When I read his books,I feel alive, even though the subject matters can be challenging.

He was a statesman,a campaigner and even an exile  from his beloved France due to his stance on subjects such as capital punishment and slavery.

His beliefs live on through his writing.

Write about your first crush.

I remember being in an underground subway station with my mother.We were in a hurry and there were lots of people.My mother held on to my hand tightly,but once we passed the ticket barrier,and the crowds heard the oncoming whoosh of the train, all hell let loose and we were carried along on a tidal wave of people.

It was scary.

What countries do you want to visit?

I don’t want to visit, I want to live.So anywhere will do that let’s me live and thrive.

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Basically,I’m an amazing human being.

How do you want to retire?

I want to retire without a party or any fuss There is no need to say goodbye to work.My work is done.

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

Many years ago my husband had to go in for a back operation as he had very bad sciatica.I bought him a lovely towelling dressing gown, green and dark blue stripes.

He’s not much of a one for wearing dressing gowns ,so in hospital was the only place he ever wore it.

I wear it now,it’s my go to  dressing gown when I’m at home.Very comfortable and well worn

Describe one of your favorite moments.

Tha alarm goes off

I wake-up with a gentle cough,

I stretch my arms and legs

And grasp for the glass of  water with it’s dregs

Then a brilliant thought flashes through my

mind

It’s Thursday and  I can just unwind.

Namaste and Thank you for reading.

What notable things happened today?

By not helping someone,I helped myself,

I took the lead and left the book on the shelf,

Can’t you do this, can’t you do that?

Are you really going to be such a brat,

Well yes I am ,

I’ve done what I can,

It was never going to be good enough for you,

So I’ll only do what I can do.

That should work well,

If not you can go to hell.

What are you passionate about?

I suppose passion makes the World go around

A solution that a lot of people have found,

To howl and giggle with pure joy,

Just like a dog  ragging with his favourite toy

A project or a meeting to discuss a plot

Or perhaps a quest for the ideal pot

The perfect meal for your antique plate,

Renewable energy to replace your grate

The options to be passionate are endless

And with common interest you’ll never be

friendless

To share passions is such a thrill

Everyone should  have their fill.
