Fifty things I love

Inspired by GTM, here's my list.......for today. I think that some of these things will change with the seasons and with how I feel, but some are definitely for always. They are in no particular order.

1. My family
   
2. The smell of my girls' freshly washed hair
3. The smell of bread baking
4. The feeling of a clean bed made with freshly laundered sheets
5. Roast lamb with mint sauce
6. God
7. Blackcurrant squash
8. Hot baths
9. Recipe books
10. Surprise presents
11. Hearing my cockerels crowing
12. The miracle of the chick hatching out of the egg
13. Katie Fforde's novels
14. Old Furniture
15. Hot water bottles and cosy rugs
16. Old fashioned films
17. Roaring wood fires in the woodburner
18. Anne of Green Gables films
19. Patchwork quilts
20. Chocolate microwave sponge pudding
21. My church and our church family
22. A cup of tea
23. Honeysuckle
24. Growing vegetables
25. The jars of jam on my shelf
26. Knitting
27. Scotland
28. New notebooks
29. Sandra Bullock's films
30. Shadow the cat
31. BBC Breakfast
32. Baking for the family
33. Davina's exercise DVDs
34. Coaching gymnastics
35. Books
36. Skirts
37. Geography

39. The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
40. Roast chicken
41. My wedding ring
42. Packets of seed with all their promise
43. Warm bowls of porridge
44. Blue skies in autumn
45. Lavender
46. Traditions
47. Jam tarts from Sainsbury's FreeFrom range
48. The Sound of Music
49. The Mma Ramotswe books - magical
50. Oxburgh Hall

Well, that's all quite sedate and traditional, which I think is a fair reflection of who I am and what I like, so there's nothing new there! It's quite an interesting exercise - and I am pretty sure that the list will look quite different in some aspects if I revisit it in six months' time.

I must go and get baking now!
