I wanted to make a few changes to my bedroom on a low budget. So I didn't have to go to the expense of changing my curtains I keep it the same sort of color. I went to a carpet shop where they had room sized pieces of carpet. I found a pink one for just eighty pounds and it was just a little bigger than my bedroom. I had to pay thirty pounds for fitting. I was so happy to find a new duvet cover...

Last summer I enjoyed visiting two gardens open for charity. One was in the same area I live and it was a lovely tropical looking garden. It was recommended to me by one of my favorite plant sale nurseries. Wow, it took my breath away and I loved seeing it. I hope to visit it again this year when it opens in late July. The other garden was in a town twenty miles away and it looked tropical and ...

France gets the highest number of tourists in the world. Its capital city is called Paris and thousands of tourists love to go there. I have been there a few times because my home country is next door to France. The population of my home country is around 60 million people and when I lived in Kent everyone seemed to pop over to there every so often. I have been to French Polynesia and it is an ...

Every mom will have an idea where she wants to sit on a plane. Like me I must have a window seat for example. It is a lovely idea to have a families area where children are allowed to get together and play. This would be an attractive feature to me. I notice that families with a small baby get sit in the middle seats at the beginning of economy class so the baby can go in the crib. We got put i...

The German art hotel sounds lovely. It is interesting that it has been decorated by different artists. It would be amazing if you could buy a hotel and decorate all its rooms individually. I stayed at a youth hostel in Western Australia and its beds all had white duvet covers and pillow covers. That was called Port Augustus Youth Hostel. It looked clean, bright and fresh. It made me feel very h...

I believe that every single person can't change what he or she looks like for example his or her color of skin. These racist people I am discussing are neo nazis from Poland. I don't know much about them but watching the documentary I was horrified what I saw. Thanks for your superb comments.

I think giving out fines and stiff punishments might make the football games a lot safer. Cars are different color and nobody worries about that. I feel racist people are horrible. Yes, I am glad the black football players stayed at home so that they were safe. Life should be safe for them though. Thanks for your wonderful response.

Thanks for your excellent response. It is fascinating but sad to hear about how your ancestors came from Africa and were slaves centuries ago. You are lucky that you live in the United States because it is a fantastic country but it is of course not without anyb problems. I have been there three times on my travels. It is wonderful to hear that you used to work at stadiums and note what you...

I love to be in an international location because I like other nationalities. I delight in meeting other nationalities when I am on my travels in other countries. I did my degree and teacher training in Wales. My dissertation was about children's responses to picture books and one racist child was in the class. She made some very worrying comments about black characters in the stories. She got ...

Thanks for your fantastic response. I know exactly what you mean about the darker skinned people generally being really nice. I am glad that you have many friends with darker skin including some black people. When I was learning how to drive a car my driving instructor said his cousin was black and lived in America. He said if he waited on a street neighbors called the police. All he was doing ...
