what do you really like? i don't mean perhaps collections but something that is really you. perhaps Pinterest boards or things you just look at online or in books for hours dreaming!
I will go first so my five items i choose are;
Beach huts
Flamingos
Caravans older the better
Cath Kidston especially bags
1960s glass vases bubble ones with a coloured base
so what five would you choose?

Outdoors - exploring or just sitting
Animals - except mozzies/midges/clegs (horse flies) but they love me sad
Fast military jets, plus Apache helicopters

Yes, 6, but couldn't decide what to leave off the list. Good job we have never won the lottery or our home would be full of animals, in the middle of nowhere with retired Jets in the garden!
