My Favourite Things by Anne Cater, Blogger.

Food : Savoury and Sweet

I love food!  I love trying new foods and I’m a keen cook, although I can’t bake!
My favourite savoury foods are cheese; particularly Cheddar and Brie, and anything to do with potatoes.  Chips (proper, home-cooked), mash and my all-time favourite; Jersey Royals with real butter.
My favourite sweet foods are beautifully ripe cherries; I eat pounds of them during the summer.  I also love Wagon Wheels and those chocolate snowballs with marshmallow inside.

Drink: 

I can’t even begin to contemplate the day before I’ve had a mug of strong, milky tea, preferably Yorkshire Tea, I then drink gallons of the stuff throughout the day.  I also always have a bottle of water with me.  My favourite tipple is a glass of French Rose wine, or a pint of cider.

Film: 

I love the cinema and try to go as often as possible. My all-time favourite films are varied and include Mississippi Burning, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Momento and of course, Dirty Dancing.

Book: 

Ahh, is this a trick question? I have favourite books, but for different reasons. Books often become favourites because of the memories that they hold for me.  The Thorn Birds, A Woman of Substance, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Shadow of the Wind – all of these are very special to me.

Author: 

I can’t answer this. It’s impossible. However, Enid Blyton was my first love, she introduced me to adventure. She started my journey

Character: 

Meg from the Thorn Birds and Atticus from To Kill A Mockingbird.

Song:

Music is another of my passions. Books and music defined me when I was growing up. Again, like books, different songs have different memories for me. Pink Floyd’s Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC and ANYTHING by The Little Angels will make me sing ….

Holiday destination:  Our very special place is Arillas, on the North West coast of Corfu. It really feels like coming home when I arrive and we’ve made so many friends there. My little piece of paradise

Animal:

Cats.  My own two; Costa and Nero are ridiculously spoilt and very naughty, but I wouldn’t be without them.

Person:

My husband Martin – he’s my partner and my best friend. We are not a lovey-dovey romantic couple, but we laugh, we laugh a lot.

Place to read:

I can and do, read anywhere.  I really enjoy reading on the train, it’s guilt-free reading time, but laying on a sunbed, next to the pool, in Arillas is the perfect reading spot.

Season:

Spring.  I detest Winter, and the cold and snow and frost.  That first sighting of daffodils and Spring lambs really ups my mood. I love the new beginnings and the thought of the summer ahead.

Inspirational Quote: 

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace”, said by Jimi Hendrix and tattooed on my arm.

Thing in the whole world:

Being with people that I love. Laughing and sunshine.
