Three Favourite Things

[joyshirley]

Hi, everyone

This is a fun thread where you list three fave things in response to the previous post, and also post something for the next poster to respond to. I hope you will enjoy it and we'll get to know each other a bit better as well. No rules or anything like that...feel free to enlarge on your answers with pics, chat or both.

I'll do a couple of posts to set the pace...

Fishing

 

[joyshirley]

hmm - not really a fan of fishing, MW, but if I were...

Fishing off an old-fashioned wooden wharf in a beautiful little harbour (did this as a child a few times, but never caught anything)
Fishing with my bare hands in very shallow low tide water for flounder (watched my Grandpa do this successfully when I was very young)
Fishing on the bank of a lovely little creek filled with colourful stones and rocks and the odd fish (used to go with my family to a place like this when I was a kid)

Canal narrow boats (been watching Timothy West's and Prunella Scales' canal journeys and would love to do the same!)
Wherries (a group of us used to have long weekends on them in our younger days - great fun!)
Small sailing boats (although not sure I could cope with them now!)

2. We Are Family - Sister Sledge (My second fave song ever. Always loved the melody and energy of this song and all my kids know this song and enjoy singing it too)

3. Run - Leona Lewis (Love the melody of this one and my second son sings this song beautifully)

Three countries you'd like to visit...

 

[rebornfree]

As I'd love to tour European cities, I'd have to say:
France (for Paris)
Italy (for Rome)
Austria (for Vienna)
(I've been to all three countries but not to those cities. )
