Your idea of heaven (tongue-in-cheek)

GrammarGrandma

curlywhirly Those are my two as well. The second one very specifically in the Campo in Siena, watching the passeggiata with a glass of prosecco and olives and crisps.

Many years ago my bloke and I had a meal in the campo in Siena while watching opera Nabucco. When they sang Va pensiero waiters came out from all the restaurants holding flaming torches. It was magical and very emotional and never to be forgotten,

I almost had it last weekend . All 3 of my grownup children, plus their partners and children (16 of us altogether) sitting in the sunshine in the garden. I had a glass of Prosecco in my hand and looked at the older children all helping the younger ones to do Easter crafts and thought ‘Oh this is perfect’ The only bad point was that it had taken me most of the week to plan and cook food for them all - one vegan, one vegetarian, one dairy allergy, one gluten intolerant and one mayonnaise hater (I was planning salads) . If I could afford an excellent caterer then it would have been heaven!

A world with no chaos and cruelty.

In heaven there are no coat hangers !!!
Why do they always get tangled up ????

Watching a film with My partner...I didnt do it with My children Father often so its lovely.
Walking along Papermill Lock in Essex

Not having anything to worry about.

Early morning/late evening walking barefoot across the South beach in Tenby hand in hand with my beloved.... The 3 dogs careering across the beach and in and out of the sea.... The sound of the waves lapping against the shore... Seagulls cry above. Then back to a pretty seaside cottage for freshly baked croissants and crispy bacon , tea and a crossword or if evening a glass of crisp Chenin Blanc..fresh fish and salad and Pembrokeshire new potatoes then watch the sun go down before going to bed and falling asleep with my head resting on his chest.
***Reality check...I can just about make it from the bed to the toilet after a hip replacement last Thursday.... but you did ask...lol.****

Sheltered corner of my garden on a sunny day, comfortable chair, feet up, good book and a cup of tea by my side or the same indoors without the sunshine!

Being able to walk again

A clean craft room and every craft tool i could imagine

Somewhere secluded, preferably close to the sea, lovely weather, unlimited access to books, music and good food - and surrounded by dogs and horses. That would suit me nicely...

My exact idea of heaven. You’ve hit it!

Curlywhirly, may I join you?

You most certainly can, the more the merrier!

Having our DD2 and SiL arriving from Australia for a long holiday to join the rest of our family just sitting in the garden, relaxed and all enjoying being together again.

If only it were in my power Lucca you would be my priority. x

Sitting in the summerhouse , watching the sea, listening to classic fm and reading a good book. Little pooch at my feet dreaming of chasing rabbits.

BlueSky

Oh Lucca and BlueSapphire

From me too x

Sitting round a table with all my family - all 9 of us - having a lovely meal I haven't cooked - laughing and joking and just having fun!!

Mine would be relaxing in a hammock on a secluded beach somewhere.

A short break in Venice. Being whisked from the airport by speedboat and feeling the salty wind on my face.
Feeling excitement to see the famous Venice buildings, canals and bridges spread out in front of me.
Being serenaded by a Gondolier as I sit back and take a ride under the warm Italian sun.

Ooh have done that.
Even the speedboat bit!

Grandmadinosaur

Relaxing in the sun on a sunbed at a secluded beach with a cocktail and a good book.

I’ll join you!

Having my 3 daughters and my 8 grandchildren all together under the same roof in the same country. . (It’s been 5 years and I can’t see it happening again)
Otherwise, clean sheets every night & a cup of tea brought to me in the morning. (Thats not going to happen either ?)
One can but dream ?

nadateturbe, we must be on the same wavelength today

Definitely Icanhandthemback !
I am prediabetic and I love chocolate (keep some in bedside drawer). And chocolate ice cream. So difficult, but at least I can have a little, so you have my sympathy.
Auto immune thing sounds nasty.

Sitting in a sunny beach hut in Southwold watching our five DGC playing on the beach - that was last week. Today, sowing seeds and potting up in my sunny greenhouse and hearing all the birds singing.

Pouring a glass of wine after dropping my two granddaughters home after a sleepover...heaven!

or in a sack. I will let you decide x
