Ok, so, here are my answers! *rubs hands in excitement* I can't wait to do this tag! 😄 Oh, and these 8 things won't be in order of popularity. I'll just write what comes to mind!

1. Jonquils and daffodils.

I adore these flowers! Their perfumes are absolutely wonderful, and I love how dainty and ethereal they look. Plus, I hardly ever see them, so it's a surprise when I find a cluster growing somewhere.  One of my favourite original poems is titled 'Jonquils'. I will have to share it here soon! 

2. Wide open spaces.

I'm not sure why, but vast, lonely spaces always give me shivers of delight. Whether it's the ocean stretching out to the horizon, or the infinite sky spreading over a landscape, I always love getting lost in endless nature. Infinity is beautiful!

3. Finishing writing a good poem.

It's wonderful when God puts words into your heart and they just flow out onto paper. Usually this happens at 11 pm after lying awake for an hour or so...  though I don't know how much this counts as "My Favourite Things', because often I really don't want to stumble out of a warm bed and grab my notebook. xP But I hate to miss a burst of inspiration, and so it's wonderful to fall asleep with a contented heart and snatches of a finished poem running through your mind...

4. Sincere words of appreciation.

 

Ok, I'm sure we all love this. But especially me! Isn't it nice when someone genuinely is blessed by you or what you do? 😊

5. The medieval ages.

 Anything involving beautiful elaborate costumes, long hair, epic music!!!, the wild, harps and flutes, bravery, flowing capes, dragons, cunningly made weapons, scrolls and leather pouches, powerful horses... yes, I could go on for ages... 😉  (was that a pun? well, it wasn't intended!)

6. Sticky date pudding.

*pudding eyes* I would have to say this is my favourite ever dessert. Served warm, with a generous lashing of oozy caramel sauce, and possibly a scoop of vanilla icecream.... Mmm-mmm!

7. Dancing to the Lord!

Lately, my sisters and I have been making up dance routines to Christian songs, which has been so much fun! (Even despite the arguments discussions about whether the stag leap or the melt would work better in verse 2...) Currently we're working on a dance for O God Forgive Us, by For King and Country. 

8. A scripture verse that speaks to my heart.

It is such a blessing when the Spirit reveals a bible verse that you can hold on to and treasure; especially when you're struggling with fear, doubt, or you're in a spiritual conflict. "How sweet are thy words to my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way." ~ Psalm 119: 103-104

BONUS ANSWER!!!

9. Personality Tests.

Ok, I know this is a little out-of-the-ordinary... but I have a mania for finding out which book/movie character I'm most like, or categorizing myself, others, and even animals, into neat and

organised and definable boxes. Yup. That's me! 😂
