Charms and mascots
Posted: 07 Feb 2016, 11:05
Military regiments have their animal mascots, students have their college mascots (as displayed by them on University Challenge) and I have my own travel mascot, Mr Cinnamon, who comes along on all my trips with me.
Now when I mentioned this to a friend in conversation yesterday, I could tell they thought I was stark raving mad from the look on their face And it is not as if I am a superstitious either. But Mr. Cinnamon is always in my hand luggage on any trip I take, short or long.
Which got me thinking, maybe I am mad/ odd/ eccentric (not that I care one jot if I am) but I bet there are others who also take along a travel charm, mascot or some other item on their trips, something of no practical use but a must-take item.
So V-flyers, confess, do you and if so what? Pictures would of course be welcomed.
