Where is your happy place?

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.

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.

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

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.

Anywhere with my DH

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

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.

The field where my ponies live. It's always peaceful and I love watching them and the birds.

A beautiful Catholic Church. My chair by the fire, looking at memorabilia of my grandmothers, mother, and aunts.
Anywhere with my DH. In my Florida room, looking at my seashells. In my garden. With a few select people. With any of my grandchildren at any time.

JaneJudge definitely Turf Moor, I've been a Burnley supporter for over 60 years, in those days I had to take a small stool with me so I could watch the football

Lots of happy places but the one I'm looking forward to returning to next month is our caravan in Devon and the beautiful woods surrounding the site, with magnificent old trees full of character and grace.

I can’t say but my OH wouldn’t be happy! ?

Same here!

Without doubt Italy, that is the only place my heart really sings. Especially Venice. If I could I would live there but my family here would not support the idea ?

Lee bay in North Devon, where I learned to walk, learned to swim and calls me back every time. A place my spirit will return when I die

Thinking about this, for me a happy place has soul connection, some may call it spiritual (not in any way religious or a god connection). For me it is a place outside, no one else around, with a long distance countryside or coastal view. I agree with Pendle Hill and Hannafore beach, and would like to add Exmoor and Mount Edgcumbe looking towards Plymouth Sound and Drake’s Island.

When I am so decrepit I can’t get out I have beautiful photographs to look at so I can recapture the feelings.

Anywhere out of my house. The extent of my husbands deafness is excruciating . When I ‘need’ the volume on about 12/13 …. my husband has it on 43!!! This is 16/17 hours a day….. my tinnitus is awful and my temper fraying. But apparently he’s “ not deaf woman”…. shouting it at me as he can’t hear himself speak!! Got the picture!!

reading on a low indie metal chair made from recycled painted oil drums, it is at the bottom of my small garden under a tree canopy and surrounded by other young small trees. The birds are starting to visit and drink from the bubbling water feature. It is shaded bliss on a very hot day. I have pruned the tree behind so that the canopy is above me with no lower branches. It is only about 16` tall and will grow to about 25` maximum. The trees left and right are upward rowans, again pruned so they will each develop a canopy

I like that chair so much, I keep it in the garage during autumn to spring. I want to preserve it. It is bright green and has all sorts of blotches and drum marks on it with a lacquered finish. I put 4 slabs down for the chair and my feet, then I put rubber matting on top to hide the slabs

Our garden.Yesterday was bliss.Several hours tidying up on a sunny day with the sound our resident blackbirds,robin and great and blue tits gearing up for spring.

Sitting chatting with my grandson and listening to his thoughts on EVERYTHING! Other than that anywhere across the pond ??
