I love white wine. Favourite winery? Can't pick one, but many found in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley are incredible.

Okay, it ended a while ago, but I still love it. I own the entire series on DVD. Brilliant acting. Brilliant directing. Brilliant writing. 'nuff said.
4. Your Occupation:

There's no business like show business...ah, well.

It got me to University. I had a political bumper sticker which embarrassed my Dad. Let's just say we did not share the same political views.
6. Your Favourite Dish:

This is French cuisine, but it's hard to choose. If I didn't have to cook it, it's a
winner.

Emma Thompson. We've both played the role of Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing". She has my career. No, no, I'm not bitter.

This is for fun, right? Nothing wrong with a little fantasy...
I admit that I will never quite get over:

Venice. A place I am determined to see for myself. Magical.
Back to regular business tomorrow. What are your 10? You don't have to post pictures, but share!
I adore Captain Von Trapp. And, as far as I'm concerned, no one can play him like Christopher Plummer (who, even though he got old is still attractive!).
ReplyDeleteKaren; He is still lovely. Thanks for dropping by!

ReplyDeleteVictoria is a beautiful city and I love The Sound of Music, still have an old LP soundtrack :)
