Carolyn: My favourite things are mostly books and flowers, my husband and our cat. Gardens, tea, period dramas, old fashioned clothes, the 19th century, England and France, historical fiction and classic novels by mostly female authors also fit the bill. (I used to blog at A Few of My Favourite Books, now I'm here.)
