List ten things, people, places, beings, thoughts, feelings that you love that begin with a certain letter and then post that list on your journal.  Amber1960 gave me the letter T which was surprisingly difficult, so apologies if some of these are a bit tenuous.

This is my third attempt at posting this; LJ formatting has been doing some very strange things, so here goes ...


Tutankhamen - when I was little, my beloved and much-missed Grandad told me lots of stories about the places he visited when he was stationed in Egypt during the war. That inspired me to visit those same places fifty years later

River Thames - every Londoner has a few drops of old Father Thames running through their veins!

David Tennant - The Tenth Doctor and the best.

My Tent - because when I’m in it, it means I’m miles from anywhere with only the birds and the beasties and my husband for company.

The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - My first and greatest sci-fi love. Douglas Adams RIP, the world is a poorer place without you..

Trees - the world can always use another tree.

Tea - I’m a Brit, I like it strong, one sugar.

Tongariro National Park - The volcanic region of new Zealand’s North Island, as wild and savage and haunting as a landscape gets.

Toyah - yes, I was a child/teenager of the 80’s and yes, I wanted to have orange spiky hair and punky make up like my idol (but my Mum wouldn’t let me). I still have my entire collection of Toyah’s LP’s (that’s right, vinyl LP‘s), and having a little session listening to them and regressing back to the 80’s is one of my many guilty pleasures!

Time to myself - as much as I love my nearest and dearest, I relish my own company. Spending a few hours alone with just my laptop, my pencils or my trusty Supernatural DVD’s is a little slice of heaven.

So that's me.  What about you?  Give me a comment and I'll give you a letter ...
