Fine art (painting) and all it encapsulates, writing, poetry, music, singing, the sound of rain tapping against a tent roof at night or drumming its fingers against a windowpane (yeah, i'm a little strange), chocolate and cake of all kinds, running, reading, turning round in a cinema to look at everybody's expressions halfway through a film, Muay Thai (traditional Thai Boxing), movies, the feel of pushing my hand in bags of freashly roated seeds or coffee beans, eyes, theatre, romance, escapism, running in the rain and pretending i'm batman, The 1930's and all its fashion and bravado, children's imagination, cooking, food and every zingy-tangy-zapwholloping taste known to man (sweet and sharp-bitter and bubbly), football or other such manly sports, frozen spiderwebs, as a true englishman: tea! and dunking anything chocolatey or biscuity within a twenty mile radios into it, Autumn, Christmas and all such things magical and wondrous.
