Smorgasbord, strudel, flange (it just rolls off the tongue!), chitting (though OH is convinced the potates are "chittering")

Abundance is a disco in a bakery, isn't it? I can never think of favourite words off the top of my head. An English teacher once told us to write a description of a garden, and replace all the plant names with words we thought were beautiful. I simply couldn't do it - so I just made the description as funny as I could. Mr Elton commented that the sense of beauty seemed to get a little lost - I don't think he got it!

I also love aardvark and pangolin.
Even better than those, though, is 'archipelago'.
I also love the word 'fwing', which is made up, but very descriptive of new fern fronds (see my last but one blog entry for an explanation!)

contort, it just sounds interesting. flange is one of mine as well, it has lots and lots of uses both clean and dirty

and of course being Cornish my favourite word just has to be 'Drekly'
