What makes you Happy

Lunch with one of my daughters and a grown up Granddaughter which I’ve done today.

An unexpected phone call from a friend, which reminds me…..

Great questions!

My dog, walking, nature, swimming in the sea, my garden, clean sheets on the bed, sunshine.

How about you Msida?

The smell of hot earth after rain.

My Grandson ; always, no matter how bleak the times , my grandson .

Early morning walks
My dog who is always pleased to see me
My grandsons who are 2 and 4
Walking into their house on my birthday and hearing them say "alexa play happy birthday to nanny"

Clean sheets on the bed also
Sometimes it's the simple pleasures

My husband
My daughter
My grandson
My garden
My two ginger cats

My two granddaughters

My children, my grandchildren, my friends and the lovely countryside of North Wales where I live.

Friends, family, happy memories of sadly missed parents, my little black cat, and like AGAA4, the lovely countryside of North Wales, where I am lucky to live too.

My husband cooking up a treat for me
Hearing from my family as I can't see them yet
My dogs
A delivery of new books

Knowing all is well with my family.

My tortoise! If I ever feel like giving up on something, just watching her hopefully attempting to climb up the raised beds every day to get to my veggie patch makes me keep on trying. On a more serious note though, seeing my daughters and grandchildren healthy and happy in their lives gives me the greatest feeling of contentment and always makes me smile.

My Grandson, my friends and being near the coast.

My family make me happy. We went to see our DD and GD today in Lancashire. We had a nice lunch just sorry when we leave. We saw our son and his family at the weekend they don't live far away. We are in touch with our friends who all live local. I love my garden growing veg and planning special meals with sparkling wine.

Making an effort to appreciate "magic moments", whether they be beautiful sunrises, flowers, smells or whatever.

My husband, My family, My pets. My garden, and waking up every morning. Lot to be grateful for.

Walking in the countryside where it is peaceful, and visiting our two young grandchildren. Guaranteed to leave me feeling relaxed and happy.

Apart from family, coach trips, steam train trips, my tortoiseshell cat and pop up books,

Picking blackberries today. Lots of juicy big ones and I can see lots more to come. I turned them straight into blackberry cordial and now it’s in a bottle in the freezer.
When we go onto porridge for breakfast, the cordial will go on the top.
So that’s a double happy in my book.

Obviously my family.
Coffee with friends.
Gin!

Watching the sea
Walks in the countryside
Knowing the family are healthy and happy
Meeting friends for lunch
Playing Bridge
Weekends away with friends (ladies only)

I didn’t mention our lovely loyal dog who is gentle and good company and we love her.
