And congrats to all the bloggers you have chosen.. <br /><br />I had to laugh at you being the naughty girl.. I was the shy goody two shoes.. at least until my thirties so no getting expelled for me.. However I do share your love for egyptian cotton sheets, books, candlesticks, cafes and ports.. and of course.. Italy.. I have been lucky enough to spend 2 months travelling Italy.. and just waiting to do it all over again...

Thank you! You know I feel the same about yours.<br /><br />We must be twins. I went to a radical mixed public school where I too was expelled. We drank Top Deck shandy instead of Coke, I don't know why we bothered as it contains about 1% alcohol. I'm so with you on the candles/sheets/Italy - that picture of - is it Tuscany? makes me want to go right NOW! And two of my favourite books are The Great Gatsby and A Short Walk From Harrods. I adored the film Jean de Florette but have to admit I've never read the book.<br /><br />LOVE your bedroom... My favourite colours are purple and red. My bedroom is dark red but I considered purple. I really enjoyed reading your answers.

I just purchased Jean de Florette and Manon of the SPrings on DVD..they were my favourite movies at the time. I have never read the books and am now inspired to do so. Great story about your school days...you got them all in the end :) Sports cars, candles, long hours in a cafe watching the boats go by, Egyptian cotton sheets, London..you are a woman of exceptional taste!!<br />Even more so to have picked these lovely bloggers as they are indeed beautiful blogs!! <br />Well done you!!<br /><br />Jeanne :)<br /><br />PS...posted the bag again last week.

Your blog is such a fun read.<br /><br />Bookworm that I am, I adore Gatsby. One of my favorites of all time. I have often thought of doing an annual reading of it like my friends read "Pride and Prejudice."<br /><br />As a lover of Fitzgerald and Hemingway I highly recommend "A Moveable Feast" too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896905033728859809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-20074480904446291662010-05-04T18:34:33.747+02:002010-05-04T18:34:33.747+02:00Thank you so much, Dash!

I be...Dash you have just officially become my IDOL! I believe my second daughter is a direct reincarnation of YOU (even though you are alive)! She is only 8 but has strong rebellious tendencies, does her own thing and doesn't care a whiff what other people think. I do admire her so. I was such a goody goody at school.<br />Luckily we both share a love of books and she is an amazing story teller. You have just restored my faith that even if she gets expelled from an exclusive all girls' school it will be like water off a duck's back and she will pass with flying colours anyway. <br /><br />OK. Now - I've done the 7 things about me 3 times since I started my blog ... but I'm definitely UP for the challenge again. I will have to ponder a bit to find out if there are really 28 things all up that will not put you all to sleep though. Or maybe I could be a good night cap ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for passing the award on to me. I'm très touchée.Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255310309447767848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-4201623425252028232010-05-04T17:36:53.400+02:002010-05-04T17:36:53.400+02:00Oh how exciting, I feel so honoured - thank you so...Oh how exciting, I feel so honoured - thank you so much!!
