bliss_amiss has given me brown. Not in any particular order.
1. Jennet's natural hair colour. She has inherited my hair, brown and wavy, but has managed to grow it a lot longer than mine. I have not seen her lovely brown waterfall of hair for about 6 years. She dyed it black and has bleached sections and redyed them red or green or purple, she has shaved off sections and regrown it and she straightens it to within a millimetre of its life. Meanwhile, mine has distinguished silver streaks over my ears. The brown hair is so dark now that I lighten it every summer, sitting in the sun with Sun-In sprayed all over it.
2. Tea!!!!!! I cannot survive without it. I understand where Douglas Adams was coming from when he has Arthur Dent on a mission to find tea elsewhere in the galaxy.
3. Bare trees in winter, silhouetted against a grey sky, dead leaves underfoot.
4. Otters.
5. The dark wooden furniture in our home. We still have the same 3 piece suite, oak-framed with gold-brown velour upholstery. I bought that in a sale over 30 years ago for the princely sum of £399 back then when the pound was worth a pound. (Down from £799, I seem to remember.)
6. 'Golden Brown' by The Stranglers--one of my absolute favourites from the 80s.
7. My brown leather handbag that goes with me everywhere.
The last 3 could be a cheat because they are all food :D
8. Dark chocolate--Cadbury's Bournville (HANDS OFF, KRAFT!!!!!) though I don't eat as much as I used to, as I find the older I get, the less I crave chocolate--sad.
9. Roast beef well done with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and gravy!!
10. Parkin and bonfire toffee (I admit the toffee is almost black) on Guy Fawkes' Night, and jacket potatoes cooked in foil round the edge of the fire. I agree properly organised public displays are safer and the fireworks are more exciting but I bemoan the demise of the garden celebration because the food was always part of the fun.
