Today, I'm delighted to welcome Talli Roland to WKDN, with a guest post in the series 'My Favourite Things' - over to Talli ..!
My Favourite Things
How to narrow it down to five? Well, I'll give it a go, starting with . . .
1. Wine!
I'd be remiss if I didn't make this my number one. Red, white, pink . . . I'll drink anything (well, maybe not anything, but I have consumed Tesco's Finest on occasion). I love a glass or two at the end of the day -- otherwise known as 'wine o'clock' -- once the baby is down and the night is still young.
2. Reading in bed.
I can't understand people who throw back the covers, turn off the light, and snooze. To me, reading before going to sleep is the best bit of the day (after wine o'clock). As long as it's not horror or crime, I'm happy to settle down with a memoir, travelogue, romance . . . anything that will soothe and lull me off to sleep.
3. The Daily Mail.

3. The Daily Mail.
I know, I know, it's a controversial choice and I probably shouldn't be admitting to it, but the day is not complete without a gander through The Daily Mail's website. What can I say: I like reading about cancer-causing vegetables and immigrants overrunning the nation (I'm one of them!).
4. Early mornings.
I'm often up before dawn even cracks to try to get in some writing. While rolling from the warm, cosy bed can be torture, once I'm up with my cup of coffee in-hand, I relish the peace, the quiet, and the possibilities of the day ahead. It's all good until I hit about noon . . .
5. My homeland!
I grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I miss the ocean, the space, the trees, the people.

I visit at least once a year, but it's never the same as living there.
