These Are a Few of My Favourite Things
Reading a good book in a warm bed by the light of a bedside lamp
Using a long stick to poke a bonfire
Singing along to music while driving
Listening to Test Match Special
Sitting on a rural riverbank watching the water drift by
Having lunch on a balcony overlooking the sea
Chatting with family and friends round a BBQ with a glass of wine
Looking out of the window on a steam train journey
Staring at the stars on a warm, clear night
Listening to my grandchildren tell me about their day at school
Listening to the Midnight News and then the Shipping Forecast on Radio 4
Looking at my garden when I've just mown the grass
Having fish and chips overlooking the river Mersey
Watching a Red Admiral dance around a flowerbed
Sharing my grandson's excitement when I take him to a football match
Having a picnic with my family
Hearing heavy rain on a windowpane
Playing a family game of cricket on the beach
Listening to a favourite piece of music with my eyes closed
Watching inane TV with my wife
