Shut your eyes and where would you like to be right now ?

Oh Laurensnan, so sorry

In my daughter’s front room, or my son’s kitchen x

GrammaH, we might have met, I’ve stayed in Waves a couple of years ago, gorgeous place,

In the south of France by the pool with my 3 adult children ( aged 26, 24 and 22) and my son's girlfriend. It was the most precious moment and I never realised. 4 weeks later my elder son got ill and died. That was 11 years ago and I still shut my eyes regularly and imagine I'm there. Also would love to be just sitting on an English beach with my 3 grandchildren. Such a simple wish that we all never realised this time last year most of us would be longing for again. I will never take the simple things for granted after this is all over.

Just at this moment I'd be thrilled to be in my bathroom cleaning my teeth.
I'm into week two of Covid-19 and really don't know when I last performed any personal hygiene tasks, I'm just beginning to care so things may be on an upturn. Phew!

*Bodach*, that sounds scarily adventurous. Would you mind explaining?

"Upside down, feeling the slipstream in my face, at about 3000 feet above the ground." In other words, doing aerobatics at a relatively low height in a Tiger Moth (which has an open cockpit, allowing one to feel the wind in one's face). To be specific, I'd be half-way through a looping manoeuvre and (assuming I'd done the first half correctly) upside down but still in good bum-contact with my seat, rather than hanging in my straps. Few better feelings in this life.

Out for lunch when my friends before heading to a matinée musical in Belfast Opera House so we can sing at the top of our voices.

Disneyland Paris with my 3year 4 month GD. We were booked as a family last May, postponed until September then cancelled. I really want to take her before DH
and I are too old and feeble to do it.

Grand Hotel, Gardone Riviera , Italy.
A truly beautiful and magical hotel that I miss going to so much.
However I have the memories and photos as consolation.

Turunc, Turkey; or on a gulet cruise.

And the reason I'd choose Australia and New Zealand is that I can have life there because they are almost covid free.

In my sons flat with my baby grandson

I wish I was in Australia or New Zealand!

In my garden on a summer day with all my family having laughs and cuddles ?

1. In Spain with our family staying at the villa where we had our last family holiday in 2019.

2. Where we should have been at the moment - enjoying a late lunch at a Winery in South Africa!

My teenage self on the beach, near my house, with my friends....guitars, singing, dancing barefoot ? ? ?

Having a cup of tea and chat with my much-loved parents, who sadly died many years ago!

Australia with my daughter ?

Venice

I'd be with DH on the beach of the fabulous Waves hotel in Barbados, sipping a cocktail and listening to the gentle lapping of the waves on the shore. The sun would be shining out of a clear blue sky and the sea as warm as a bath...just bliss

With my daughter for our Friday afternoon “girls” time. Eating lunch and watching a film. Discovery of Witches is waiting for us. Simple but missed beyond belief ??

Back at my caravan in Somerset. Next to the beach listening to the waves, smelling the ocean and relaxing

In our gorgeous home in Crete with our children and grandchildren with us. Might be a bit of a squeeze but we would manage ?
