Brilliant List! I think you have a camera somewhere in my house, every morning I lie on the floor reading the paper listening to Terry W(sad but true) on the pink roberts radio my lovely friends/colleagues got me a few years ago as a goodbye pressie! I'll say it again BRILLIANT LIST! Oh and your right, being up north ~(although not as north as you) is great isn't it?!

Wild angry seas, kitchen depatments, antique markets, bare feet, silhouettes, being alone, integrity and honesty, the idea of going to japan (definitely!), the smell after the rain...are just some of the things I picked from your list that I feel identify me with you.
