Up until about 4 years ago, you wouldn't find me without a dragon about my person. Usually in an ear, but equally possibly a ring or a pendant. When I married, they were on my wedding veil (and the cake, but that's another set!)

I lost my favourite dragon earring when I was taking my motorbike training, and never found one I like as much to wear everyday.

Mind you, it was quite heavy silver and had started to stretch my earlobe a little. Rather than have one earlobe resting on my shoulder, I opted for the 'no dragon' instead.

One thing I will not be seen without unless I am actually on an operating table, is my gold cross. It's red gold, hand cut 1920's cross with red gold chain and I've worn it continuously (barring operations and the odd costume 'do') since I was given it at Christmas 1986. I wouldn't feel any less Christian if I didn't wear it, but I do feel particularly strange, sort of off balance or out of kilter when I don't.
