A happy thread

Saw a proud knight going into the bike shop, he must have been all of 4 years old and looked very brave!

Now going to sit in the sun in our lovely quiet garden.

jingl has a point.
One reason why I dipped one toe into the saccharine that is (to my thinking) "Grannynet" and dipped out again asap.
I think we do get happy news/a laugh/comfort on GN as well as sharing DGC's highs and <whisper> lows, but also robust stimulating discussion about the world around us, which by definition includes the good, the bad and the ugly.

Sewsilver -better days ahead?

That could be a subject for another thread. The war time stuff.

Back to happy things.
[I cant contribute to Sewsilver, as I dont know her story].

In war time, there was much done to keep peoples' spirits up.

You are quite welcome to your opinion.

Why don't I like this thread? . Could it be because it was started on a day that brought a lot of misery to so many people's lives? Could it be a bit self satisfied? A bit insular?

Hey ho! #gransnet

Good to hear your news, Sewsilver. That's been quite a wait, hasn't it? I hope you'll be very happy in your new home

Lovely things and times on here.

I have decided to take a few days off next week. Time to get out and about, especially since the forecast looks good. I need a change of scene.
So am planning what to do and where to go.

How lovely Sewsilver, to be in your home at last. It's been a long hard road for you and I hope this now brings you happiness and peace. xxxx

I've woken up late (for me), to a glorious sunny morning, and a rare morning all to myself. For the first time in years, I'm about to take my breakfast outside into the back yard, where I can sit and watch the sparrows playing in the garden and the sheep grazing lazily in the field.
That's assuming I can tear myself away from this damned computer, of course
I will do it, I will .... bye bye

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

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

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.

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.

Sewsilver That's great, you must be delighted!

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

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!

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
