I would love to make this the main feature of my lounge/diner, it would be the perfect finishing touch!

I hope you got through your sad day, Ang35, and that you read the special poem. My mum's funeral is tomorrow 25 Oct 2016 & ive written a poem for her which I shall be reading. I hope I can do her proud without dissolving into a soggy mess.....xxx

No, I think if anything I have made myself busier since medical retirement in 2009. I think i am probably compensating for my lost career, a decade at least too early. However, on the plus side, I can spend more time on relaxing activities which are beneficial to my health. I just need to find a balance!

Thank you, Wilf!

Hi! I live with my husband in the rural suburbs of Plymouth in Devon, England. We have a modest bungalow with a super guest bedroom; a large garden with stunning views; beautiful surrounding countryside and coast; and only a 15/20 minute drive to Plymouth city centre, with good shopping, visitor attractions, cafes, bars & restaurants. We are also very close to the fantastic county of Cornwall! We would be delighted to accommodate a single lady/gentleman or couple from overseas in our home, and show them our beautiful area too if they wished. I would prefer to correspond by email or social media initially to ensure that we are most likely to enjoy one another's company and get on well together! We have 2 cats, & one very sweet dog...we may have 2 dogs soon as I am trying to persuade my husband that a Pug puppy would make a perfect addition to our family! We are told that we are really nice, easy-going people with a good sense of humour, so we would enjoy acting as hosts to similar people, & hopefully become lifelong friends! Please contact me if you will be visiting England during 2017, tell us something about yourself & partner if you have one, and we will take it from there! Looking forward to making new, nice, interesting friends!

I have so many photos, each one a memory But my phone is getting rather full They mean so much to me... A CEWE photobook Would be the perfect place For me to share with others And put a smile on someone's face!

A flight to Seattle, USA Would really truly make my day! Please Mr Branson take me there With Virgin taking every care To make sure that I get to fly High across that great wide sky! But wait, there's more! I get to see all the places I long to be Space Needle, aquarium, harbour, city With a free pass...now ain't that pretty! Then when I need to rest my head A stay in a Grand Hyatt luxury bed! And then the ultimate Celebrity trip Aboard the stunning Solstice ship, I've dreamed of this so much before Please, Siversurfers, let me win the draw?!

Cornwall. This magical corner of England considers itself to be a country in its own right, and I feel honoured to be able to visit. It is a land of contrasts; gentle waters lapping at sandcastles, or huge turquoise breakers topped with frothy white horses...granite moorland boulders basking in warm summer sunshine, or huddled together against shards of icy winter rain...swathes of green etched with grey stone walling, or laden with gold on a late summer afternoon...trees gnarled and shaped by the west wind, nonetheless bearing myriad emerald leaves, or bent and bare, desolate until spring returns. This is my Cornwall, land of mines and fishing boats, my spiritual home.
