Having started the least favourite things thread I'm beginning to feel like a MOG (miserable old git). I'm not. There are many more things that give me joy than things which make me cringe.

Here are a few ( :!: ) for starters - apart from the first 4 in no particular order:

Waking up alive every morning
45 years of happy marriage
Hearing the cocks crow at 4.30 am
Never eating an egg more than 2 days old
Speaking Welsh and feeling a link to the Britons who were here when the Romans came and long before the Angles, Saxons, Normans etc. arrived
Sunflowers
The first picking of any vegetable I like
Welsh Black beef
Blackberry pie/jam
Kitchen Garden Forum
My polytunnel and being able to pick something fresh every day of the year
My yellow Ford van
Clematis montana
Sungold tomatoes
A freshly caught live lobster
Bob Dylan
Raw courgette salad
New potatoes
Free-range turkey
Welsh saltmarsh lamb
Damsons
Glasfryn bacon
Japanese bunching onions

Alan, you are far from being a MOG, I love your posts. :D

As well as oysters, I like:-

motorbikes (my own best of all)
Dublin Bay roses
silk
my Fine Young Man
the unexpected (if its quirky, not the scary sort)
weeding
kindness
home-made meringues
zombie films (send more paramedics!)
ancient woodlands
vikings
minimalism

School holidays because the roads are freed up when the school run cars are parked up and I can get from A to B in reasonable time.

Newly tilled soil on the plot
Watching one of of my ten year old Sea Cadet class getting their first badge.
