alternative medicine/healing
I think that there are many traditional remedies which are just as effective as modern drugs - and have to be better for you. I regularly use aromatherapy oils for myself and family, L has only ever had antibiotics once in her life for an ear infection, C has never had them, considering they are now 14 and 12 I think this quite an achievement. My mother brought me up with the 'old fashioned' methods, bread poultices, vinegar, etc., and I try to stick to them as much as possible.
cows
I love cows, they are just so slow and lumbery and very nosey. One of my hobbies is to study the patterning on fresians, so far I have spotted, a map of Africa, my husbands profile also that of Jimmy Hill, a heart, a kettle, a rabbit, lots of black clouds obviously and an erect penis complete with gonads. I should photograph them, it would make a great book.
John Sergeant
I think he is an interesting looking man with an lovely voice. I have his book (Give me ten seconds) and went to An Evening with John Sergeant at the Dome in Brighton, he was very entertaining and has seen a lot of events first hand, he was an actor long before he worked for news teams and then as chief political correspondent for the BBC - although I saw him in a show on t.v. recently which was so awful I couldn't bear to watch it.
Native Americans.
I collect anything to do with native americans, have loads of books about the history, lifestyle, various tribes etc., and think their faces are amazing.
The word arse
What can I say - it's a brilliant word which I try to slip into converstion as much as possible (in a respectable way or course).
