Yes, describe your perfect day - real or fantasy smile

XH brings me coffee in bed & we chat the way we used to. Then we’re instantly transported to the Seychelles along with the family ( the last ten years of XH didn’t happen for this day). Fantastic day, fantastic company and fantastic food. We do of course, return First Class (the way we did on occasion) but after that XH must definitely return to his new life and the real family go home. I never miss First Class but the destinations were great & in my fantasy day the younger generation get to share in it.

On an island with my Family, Friends & like minded people! Magic back in the world to use to help the world heal! No sickness & disease. A happy healthy world! Oh & dragons! Got to have dragons in my fantasy world!

I won't know u til it happens.

At the moment, I’m afraid to say - after some very hectic days and more of them starting tomorrow - a day like I thought today was going to be - no need to go anywhere or do anything particular - only I’ve just remembered that we have to go out tonight…?

Lucca I do envy you living in the Dales, I think we may be joining you soon!
To summarise, our day was ? perfect.
We called in to Ripon and got a few treats in Booths for our picnic then drove to Hack Fall.
As we parked the sun appeared.
We did a 1 hour circuit, GD loved operating the pump to activate the fountain.
Picnic in the sun watching dragon flies on the lake.

Brief stop in Middleham to say hello to friends, and to stop at a new equestrian shop where pony mad GD got some treats.

The Forbidden Corner was perfect! First visit for GD who howled with laughter and anticipation, we got wet but it really didn’t matter, it’s the best attraction!
No rides just the most imaginative tunnels and caverns it’s a labyrinth of wonder with a few scary bits!

Finally dinner at the Saddle Room then home.

Turn Colin Firth down ?? never

I said I'd only go out with him if he dresses as Mr Darcy - he said that wasn't a problem so I can't wait for him to get back to me grin
(I have a signed photo of him dressed as Mr Darcy - he sent it to me after I wrote to him - this bit is TRUE)

To spend one more day with my children when they were little and before life got in all of our ways and caused issues and sometimes heartbreak.

I would fly my sailing friends by private jet to go sailing on this yacht and hope that they would let me take the wheel for a while. www.classic-charters.com/classic-yacht/columbia/

I'd have to turn Colin Firth down because David Essex has already asked me to go out for the day with him. We will spend the day out at sea on a beautiful boat with a crew providing us with drinks, food and anything else we might need. He will be a perfect gentleman (bit of a shame that, eh? blush) We will go ashore - somewhere amazing - and dine in a place with a terrace over looking the sea. Finally he will drive me home in a fabulous car and say goodbye with a warm hug and a chaste kiss on both cheeks. Ah! if only!!
I will fall asleep thinking "I hope Colin calls me next week....."

Hmmm, I would say a beach day with family, followed by quiet time with a book (and perhaps a cuddly nap). Then a warm evening, with dinner that someone else cooks,

Doesn't matter where, but we really don't have any close beaches. I see palm trees in my mind.

seacliff Thu 02-Sept-21 23:15:01

There's got to be a boat trip around some Greek islands for me. Sitting at prow in sun and seawater splashing up. Some dolphins following us.

GagaJo Thu 02-Sept-21 23:04:31

Mmmmmm. Long lie in. Then taking DGS to see his wonderful godmother in Shanghai. Park, where they adore children. Then back to hers, where she will have no doubt prepared a fabulous meal. None of which my GS would eat, but his loss. He could spend his time running around the running track and playing in the sandpit, outside her campus apartment window. I miss her. Lovely lady, my best friend. Haven't seen her in person for 4 years.

hollysteers Thu 02-Sept-21 19:37:43

Starting the day in a beautiful hotel in the countryside, then a visit to NT property, author’s house or royal residence. Into London for shopping at Harvey Nicks, dinner in Kensington, finishing with a play in the West End.
Would need to find a bit more energy than I have at the mo…

Kim19 Thu 02-Sept-21 19:27:41

A day that includes long uninterrupted sunshine and any of my family or friends preferably wrapped around some sort of meal outdoors. That'll do me.

I’m pinching Lucca’s fantasy day. That’d do me nicely.
Ps Sago - what’s the Forbidden Corner?

Blossoming Thu 02-Sept-21 10:35:43

The beautiful sunny day Mr. B and I spent walking the South West Coastal path in Galloway. It was wonderful walking along cliff edges, climbing up and down gullies, eating our picnic and watching wildlife. One month before the brain injury that put paid to all such activities, so a particularly treasured memory.

FannyCornforth Thu 02-Sept-21 10:26:16

Ha ha! You did it Danni! smile

henetha Thu 02-Sept-21 10:20:25

In reality, to spend the day with my family, my sons and grandchildren, going for a walk then having a meal or a picnic somewhere. That's heaven to me.
In my fantasy world I wish I was back with my ex and we were just setting off for another trek around Europe in our camper van.

BigBertha1 Thu 02-Sept-21 10:18:55

Just refined that to dinner with Rufus Sewell in his Zen personae.

Mine would be breakfast overlooking an Italian Lake too followed by a trip into the hills to a vineyard to select some wines for shipping home then a beautiful Italian dinner with a beautiful Italian- oh dear carried the fantasy too far.

As you do!

All AC and their wives, partners, along with all GC, my darling sister, her husband and their two young daughters, DH and I on the beach in Los Boliches, Spain for the day. Lunch in The beach bar that has been their since I was 16. In the evening all showered and pink a walk along the paseo to one of our family favourite restaurants for a late dinner.

(Noisy, probably hectic and not at all relaxing, but boy it would be special to us all)
