What’s in My Bag!
More than I thought! and who doesn’t love a kitten?
I just mean the stuff I’m interested in - The things I like to see - books, words, intelligence, compassion, bravery, beautiful images, lots of white space and cool things (Apple are so good at that) - I like old films, new films, FILMS!!
Your childhood evokes so many memories - I remember watching John Wayne films with my Dad - he’d be lying on the couch after being out at work from early morning! Smells of foods, of places and events. Music when you were studying for exams, or thinking about what you wanted to do with your life - in your bedroom, carefree but difficult days - full of stimuli if only we had known it!
I love my family. And they are growing up and spreading out! I like people but love being on my own - Don’t like crowds, but love rugby matches and match days in Cardiff! What’s that all about? I need to interact more with people - so I’m told, so here is my attempt at it😃
Anyway I have sort of divided it in to sections - I imagine the blogs will have the same categories once I get that sorted, so stick with me and join in if you like with that. From childhood I used to have a great imagination and was always creating things - that’s disappeared over the years - so I am trying to get my passion for things back and hope you can help and this website gets interesting enough for you to want to visit every now and again..
I have ideas for websites - solooshun.com, stillhappy.co.uk for silver surfers and generally for older people who want to help and do things!! There will be sites and links to things that others do and look great - but don’t things change and move at a furious pace these days?
So you see there’s plenty to go on there - use the blog and look at my pages to see a little more and we’ll see if I can get this redvespa up an running with a little help from my friends - you!
OK here we go…
Life
I love languages - Italian, French, Japanese!!, Welsh!!! - I am not brilliant, a failed linguist maybe, but also a cunning linguist - well I try, I do my best! Smiles! - love smiles…Nature, the countryside, walking, the mountains and the coast - Wales! All of Great Britain in fact - I love Britannia - the Romans, them I like too - interesting people, interesting ideas!… Music! All types of music…Going to the flicks, to the theatre.
Adventure
Or should I say more to life? I want to Wild Camp in a tent, photograph the stars - I want to travel there on my scooter, my red vespa - Ruby. I want, I want! Is it too late?…
We can all have adventures, micro adventures, big adventures - let’s plan something…
Scooters
Scooters are a new thing for me - a present to myself when I retired - though I had ridden 50 cheers before!!! This is Ruby - she is the red Vespa - She’s great - to have a road trip or two, or three or…
Techie stuff
And then there’s the technology: mostly Apple these days - though it never used to be for work - Macbook, iPad, iPad Pro 12.9 (brilliant), Apple pencil - drawing with Procreate!!! - WOW! Technical stuff around the house (Google, Amazon, Apple) - that’s interesting, and something that needs looking at more and PHOTOGRAPHY - I’ve lost my mojo there by the way - anyone help me to get my mojo back?
Photography
Books, all types of books, words, intelligence, compassion, bravery, beautiful images, lots of white space and cool things (Apple are so good at that) - I like old films, new films, FILMS!!
Started with John Wayne, Erroll Flynn, Basil Rathbone - 7th Cavalry, Cowboys and the High Seas - adventure and then Sci-Fi, or Fantasy - There be Dragons!! Eclectically choices?? 👍
Sport
Oh, nearly forgot - SPORT! - most sport, but not as much as used to be, but still Horse Racing, the Jumps especially and of course RUGBY and Wales!! (be still my beatingheart) - We went to Japan for the World Cup!!! oh yes, enough said - it can be found here somewhere once this is on the road - cheers now…
