The Love of Lists



I am a lover of lists.  I have never been able to successfully keep a diary but I have always been a fantastic list maker.  I have notebooks full of lists, different books for different lists, lists of recipes (all the chocolate cakes & who's I like best!).  Lists can be visual too - scrapbooks full of images, which are then grouped & sorted.  Images kept on memory sticks of flower displays, a collection of stacked tea cups, ideas for parties - it goes on & on.

At this time of year, like most of you, I'm starting to think about our holiday plans & of course with this comes the start of another list!!!!!

Holidays in this country are generally a huge success.  This maybe due to the lack of stress, we usually camp or rent a last minute cottage, it's usually spontaneous & as it's last minute we try to go when the weather is nice but have no great expectations here & fully expect rain (waterproofs & board games are an essential).

I obviously already have a list of lovely places I'd like to visit or stay in.  Through reading other lovely blogs, I realise I share the same favourite places as a lot of you.  So, here is some of my list, please comment & add to the list, especially if you've stayed there & I will add your favourite places to this list too - our own list of:

Favourite Hazy Days & Holidays

Driftwood Beach Chalet
Love Lane Caravans

  2. I love holiday lists. Also have 4 of the same books as you so we're def on the same wavelength! You have my fave's already (The Dodo looks amazing!) but I dream of holidaying on a Scottish island so would add the Colonsay Hotel. Dreamy!

  3. I am definately a list girl! Thanks for popping over to my blog. You really must try crochet, I taught myself using beginner books & some online tutorials, and I have to say I'm a little addicted!
