             Four favourite things
             #1 A big red trumpet saved for the tip. It
             sits in my lounge room. One day soon (!)
             I will turn it into a lamp.
             #2 A wood-fired teapot I purchased from
             a potter when in Canada and use daily.
             #3 A fake leopard skin coat purchased
             from an op shop in Adelaide a few years
             back. Not very useful living here, though I
             can’t part with it.
             #4 WW2 BSA Airborne Folding
             Paratroopers Bike I recently purchased
             to restore. It’s sitting on a shelf in my
             kitchen currently as it’s a beautiful                                                                Image credits: The Photo Corner
