Anna says, “I love things – I love collecting stuff as you go. Tom has just got back from India and he brought back this lovely bedspread and this amazing singing bowl.” If you have never heard or seen a singing bowl in action before, as I hadn’t, you should - it gave me mystical goose bumps.<br />I really liked being in Anna and Tom’s bedroom. It felt very serene and everything is well placed. Whilst I was taking the pictures, I liked the fact that Omar kept darting in and out, and Anna and Tom just hung out in there, chatting about their plans for the day – it all felt very homely.<br />When I asked Anna and Tom what they’d save if their bedroom were on fire, Anna said, “Tom, Omar, my toy monkey and Skeli, sitting over there on the red lamp – he’s a family heirloom, and been around for as long as I can remember – my Mum even had to sew his arm back on at one point.”<br />Tom said, “Nothing – I’m not attached to anything in here, really. Oh, well maybe I'd save my singing bowl.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TjbSmOFCDl0/TcQAQRTvx7I/AAAAAAAAA9U/q2T7z4unmfY/s1600/IMG_4083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TjbSmOFCDl0/TcQAQRTvx7I/AAAAAAAAA9U/q2T7z4unmfY/s1600/IMG_4083.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>See more of Anna and Tom - click on </b><a href="http://whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.com/p/bed-heads.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i><b>Bed Heads</b></i></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b> </b></span><b>and scroll down</b></div>

I’ve had him for years and he’s been to five continents with me: Europe, Asia, North America, Africa and Australasia. I can’t sleep without him, so I take him everywhere. His head fell off on the way to France once, I was so gutted - all his stuffing kept falling out. And most recently I debated over whether to take him on a work trip to Africa, I wouldn’t normally give it a second thought but I had to share a room with my boss. So I took him, and on the first night revealed him to her, I think she thought it was a bit weird at first, but then seemed completely accepting of him. I sometimes think I should maybe be a bit more chilled about him, like when I was at college we had to do a show and tell. I thought I should take something cool and interesting but in the end I just took Pups.”</span></span></div></div>
