Thought for the day ‘ Hope in your heart puts a smile on your face. So stay positive and keep smiling’ ❤️

The wonderful Floella Benjamin extolling the wonders of the Lake District which is one of my favourite places in the whole world. I wonder if this trail to a waterfall reminded her of any of the wonderful walks to waterfalls in Trinidad & Tobago! theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

It certainly does, I have fond childhood memories of bathing under waterfalls in #Trinidad with squeals of delight Harriet Cross The Guardian

I adore walking in #Cumbria , it’s my spiritual home and I always feel at peace when I’m there, looking across the valleys and lakes. ⁦The Guardian⁩ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

I utterly adore Floella Benjamin
, she's got such a wonderful outlook on life.

It's so gratifying when a childhood icon turns out to be a wonderful person in our adulthood.

Floella Benjamin hi Floella, I was little when I would watch you on Play School, you and Brian Cant were my favorites. Just seen the picture of you on Countdown and you haven’t aged a day! Sending you best wishes from Connecticut.
