We're almost at Valentine's Day and, in honour of this time of year, I thought I'd write a post on the twenty things that I love the most. Some of them won't surprise you, but a few might!
1. My family
2. My dog, Bonnie, and my cat, Bob
3. Opening a magazine and seeing a story of mine in there
4. Dancing
5. Singing in my choir
6. People who hold doors open for me (sorry but I'm old-fashioned)
7. Any Greek Island
8. The Lake District
9. Cream cheese and banana sandwiches
10. Red wine
11. Walking by the river
12. Les Miserables
13. Australian Masterchef
14. My electric blanket in winter
15. Jeans
16. Teacakes
17. My friends
18. Books
19. Roses
20. My blog readers for continuing to support me!
And while we're talking of love, I have two valentine stories in this week's People's Friend. It's unusual for this magazine to publish more than one story from a writer, so I'm very honoured. I actually wrote and sent them last year but missed the Valentine boat, so I had to read them again to remember what they were about!
And finally, if you're in the mood for romance, you can find twelve of my published favourites in my short story collection, Room in Your Heart, which (for the price of a small coffee) can be bought here.
What a lovely post, Wendy. Pleased to see teacakes on there, but disturbed by your liking for cream cheese & banana sandwiches (ugh).
ReplyDeleteOf course tea cakes were on there 😀
DeleteA very positive post. My heart sings when my flowers bloom! Well done on your stories.
ReplyDeleteWhen my first rose comes out I get so excited!
DeleteI bet this will inspire lots of others to write their own lists. But you're probably alone in including the cream cheese & banana sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why people find I it so funny!
DeleteA lovely list, Wendy, but I too stopped at that cream cheese and banana! Maybe you'll inspire some of us to try it.
ReplyDeleteI had it for lunch today... yum!
DeleteInteresting list, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I could add cream cheese to Bananas...
Congratulations on the stories. :) x
Thank you, Carol. Think you should give the sandwiches a try - you might be surprised!
DeleteLove your list!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having two Valentine stories out this week.
Thank you Georgina 🙂
DeleteLovely list, Wendy - but cream cheese and banana sandwiches??
ReplyDeleteDelicious!
DeleteLovely list, and congrats on doing the double. I'm actually tempted to try the peculiar sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteDo try - Philadelphia light works well 😄
DeleteHow nice to see a post about what makes you happy - and that there are lots of things on the list.
ReplyDeleteIts good to see that you have included us the readers. Yeah we too love your blogpost...
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing and catchy post. There are a lot of anger and hatred in our world, unfortunately. People admire the arrogance and rudeness. The world has forgotten what the kindness is. Kindness is precisely the quality that you need to appreciate the most. Thank you for your post, Wendy. Thank you for sharing the love and kindness with us. This is valuable for every reader.
