What Makes You Happy

Catching fish, but today I didn't so I am definitely not happy! What did make me happy, though, was being completely outfished by two of the most charming fifteen year olds it has been my privilege to meet. I've no idea who they were but they were chatty, helpful (offering to give me the flies that were working for them), very mature and extremely polite. And boy! Could they fish! What a joy!

Right this minute I am happy because my niece, her DH and two kids have gone home ! Lovely to see them but by golly it was good to see them go !!
I am also very happy because I have wonderful neighbours.

Ticking off the last item on my "Jobs to do in the Garden" list - WOOT !!!!

Now for the "Mrs P would like" list

The sound of the owls hooting in the trees behind my house. I find it friendly and comforting. The dawn chorus. My old dog snuggling up beside me. The love of my family.

Family.

I'm never happier than when I'm walking or paddling on the beach with loved ones.

Birdsong, and the sound of children playing. I plan to download and record these and put them on my iPod to listen to in the depths of winter.
