Yesterday I saw Kirstie and Phil discussing where their happy place was. They both said it was their bed. Mine is my bath, and my garden in the summer. Where is yours?

Being in the company of our family and friends I love and appreciate. Sitting in our sun house husband at my side our lovely dog in her bed. With a nice glass of wine listening to the birds. Late at night cosy in my bed with iPad or a cook book and a nightcap! Simple pleasures is all I ask for then I am in
my happy place.

Outside, the only place where the sky is truly your only limit! Made even happier if I have my family with me too❤️

Walking in the countryside where I live, through woods and along a river. Nothing like appreciating the wonders of nature.

Katelios, Kefelonia (Greek Islands) where my late husband and I returned to every year up until his unexpected passing in 2018. We first found our paradise in 2006.

Covid19 allowing, I still continue to return annually, as he wanted me too. It's a very safe island, unspoilt by mass tourism where I know the locals and many local visitors as we are called who return annually like we do.

At home my happy place would be my bed, especially after bed change, or/and being with my family

My happy place is anywhere when I am out walking. I love being outdoors and try to walk 4 to 5 miles every day.

But a gin bench sounds nice too, nannylovesshopping?

Sitting in a quiet, peaceful room, in a shaft of warm sunlight, in a comfy chair with a book and a view of the sea outside.

On the beach at Hannafore in Looe where I can see the waves smashing on the shingle and Looe island in the distance.

Nannan2 Mon 28-Feb-22 12:54:43

I'm happy near the sea too, but not been near it in almost 2years ☹

My happy place is on our allotment especially on lovely long summer days.

The North Coast in N.Ireland on a sunny day, walking my dog on its beautiful beaches.

I don’t really know. I have subsumed myself so much for my husband and children, that I no longer remember. Sad, aren’t I?
Probably, either doing some sewing/patchwork, or sitting with my back to the spring/autumn sunshine, reading a good book.
