These are the things I love. The bitter taste of green tea in my favourite turquoise mug. A kiss on the forehead at the end of a first date (or the forty-first). Curling up with a real, made-of-paper book, under a quilt, while it rains. Champagne. Especially rose-coloured champagne. A perfect haiku. And love letters. I love to hand-write love letters. I cherish honesty, promptness, integrity and people who can make me laugh at myself. I cherish adventure-seekers and generous tippers. And extroverts willing to tease me out of my shell a little.
