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?

My happy place at the moment, is anywhere my back and hips do not hurt.

I'm with you on that one and not in the physio department trying to do exercises on a narrow bed or on the floor at home rolling from side to side watched by DH making sure I do them and he can do them with ease.envy

In the company of my DH.
Or anywhere I'm sewing, at least until the bobbin runs out!

Porthleven. Watching the waves crash onto the beach or walking our dog along the beach or cliffs. I love it there.

I love Porthleven too, lots of happy memories of sitting on the balcony of our rented holiday cottage, enjoying the sun and sea. Beautiful place.

Georgesgran Thank you so much for the lovely photo of Tommy. We used to stay near there on our visits in the past. I also lived at Seaham for 4 years - such happy days. Many thanks for the wonderful memories you have brought to mind. Hope you have a wonderful day. Xx

Thanks Pp. He is absolutely wonderful isn’t he? Years ago, I was killing time having a coffee and reading a newspaper when I turn the page to see a huge picture of Tommy. It took my breath away and as I read, I couldn’t believe that he was only a few miles away from me at Seaham. Since then I’ve visited many times and now the fence overlooking the sea has now been decorated with poppies and the initials of those local men and boys who lost their lives in wars.

Thanks Georgesgran I think he is fantastic and he brings in a lot of tourists to the area as well. We haven’t been since the summer of 2019 due to Covid etc but we do hope to get there some time this year. Having grown up in the area I have lots of happy memories. The poppies on the fence must be a lovely sight to see and wonderful memories for all of the relatives of the men and boys lost in these senseless wars.
