A happy thread

We had a lovely walk in the park this morning with littlest DGDs aged 1 and 2. Both had pretty yellow dresses on that I bought them recently.

Aw. That sounds really lovely.

Hooray some happiness - swallows all over us on the golf course today- love watching them swoop and dive.

Strolling in the sun in St Albans today feeling unusually relaxed and carrying a bag containing a bargain from the Jigsaw sale.

Do the swallows swoop and dive in the same places each time?
I see some birds[dont know which sort] that seem to swoop in a certain place which I assume is a nice air current for them?

Oh, a bargain. I havent bought clothes for a while as I currently have enough.
But bargains are great when you find something nice or what you are looking for.

Yes soon I bought some little things for the grandchildren. On holiday in Northunberland, such a lovely area. The sun is shining at the moment as we look across Coquetdale and are happy to have had a lovely week here. I got little sundresses for the two girls, 3 and 1, and a macho T shirt for the little boy, who is 2. Lots of swallows swooping all around us,and at the moment two hares munching in the garden. Thanks for your happy thread.

Garden full of greenfinches. Five on my peanut feeder at one time! I could watch them for hours except when I have to chase away the marauding squirrel!

Soon I think they swoop and dive wherever the insects are. That's what they come all the way from Africa for.

I went to the Kaffe Fassett exhibition at the Quilt Museum in York last weekend. The designs and especially the colours made my heart sing. And then I went to a concert in the evening where the delightful (eighty years young) Peggy Seeger sang beautifully and even had me singing for real! and all this in one of my favourite cities in England and in the best of company.

A video of my 11 month old grandson taking his first wobbly crawl.

DBH is ill, a florist delivered a beautiful large pot plant for him from his work colleagues today. It made him smile.

All these lovely things!

I am not sure I have ever seen a greenfinch.
I have certainly never been to a Quilt Museum. Sounds interesting.

And I dont have grandchildren yet. I like toy shops, but now realise that I have forgotten the lovely childrens' clothes stores.

I do remember the crawling. A lovely time.

Sorry about your husband janerowena.
I happened to have to spend a while in a certain supermarket today. I was amazed at how many flowers were bought in a short space of time.

Beginning to realise that this thread reminds me of Soops Kitchen.
I can assure people that this thread is a one off. I just thought that there is a lot of non happy stuff at the moment, and a happy thread would be nice.

the marsh fileds going to our nearby French town were covered with masses of blue and white Jacob's ladder flowers (polemonium) such a sight, with red kites soaring above in the sunshine- and the sweet smell of freshly cut hay -wonderful

Making 'birds' nests' for my 2 DGSs tonight when tucking them into bed. DGS1 saying he feels safe and happy when I do that for him. He is 8 and his young life is a bit difficult at the moment.

And today was the first day it has felt really warm here this year!

Such a lovely thread at the end of such a day filled with ugliness and violence!

Pottering about in the garden and pruning the polytunnel grapevine which has masses of bunches of grapes growing bigger every day.

The smell of fresh cut grass, the sight of young gold finches being fed by mum and dad.

I spent some time on Thursday trawling round the shops trying to find a fairly plain white blouse but for some strange reason there just weren't any. I was in a charity shop yesterday, working as a volunteer and as I tidied up I came across two immaculate, white M&S blouses in my size!

I moved into my house three weeks ago and yesterday my furniture came to join me. What a joyous day.

Sewsilver That's great, you must be delighted!

It's the start of a lovely early Summer's day. The house is peaceful. I am all ready to go out with DH and have volunteered to do the driving.

I'm driving South to the yorkshire dales this morning for a stopover on the way back home. It's a beautiful,morning. The birds are singing, the sun is shining, the sheep,are bleating all around us and the hedgerows are stunning.

sewsilver glad to see you're back home. Hope things are turning out just as you wanted.

What a good thing for you Sewsilver Home at last. I wish you happy times ahead.
