Your idea of heaven (tongue-in-cheek)

Mine, at the moment, is a homemade cocktail and a cup of tea, with sips taken from each alternately. ??

A warm house, CourtTV, and a mug of tea, that stays constantly piping hot ( where can I find a mug like that!!)

Here grin

To read through an entire conversation on here and find absolutely no snide political references. Maybe tomorrow!!

To all of you putting up with horrid things - my sympathies.
I have had my share of those too, and I wish you all good things instead.
As for my own personal heaven, well I agree with so many of these. Getting lost in a good book or film while curled up in a warm place I think.
Someone telling me I'd lost weight comes pretty near the top too, as does sinking my teeth into a piece of the carrot cake from Delia Smith's Food Aid book.
I have a memory of my mum sitting like a contented cat watching all her brood ( her chicks as she used to call us )_
laughing whilst preparing a barbecue in her garden. I got a feeling of pure happiness from her at that moment.

What a lovely memory to have ?

To be summer sunshine all year round. No coats or jumpers. To have all my teeth in good health. To have a clutter free house with just the things we use. = work on this one often. To have monthly family meet ups outdoors somewhere - not at my house due to all the cleaning , kettle on and food cooking. For all people to get along and everyone be equil.

Just sitting somewhere warm, looking out over the sea with a frozen daiquiri in my hand.

Sitting in my garden, sun shining with a mug of builders’ tea, a good book and the neighbours moggy purring at my feet

Hope you're doing ok after the hip operation Naughtyneine. That first week is the worst.

I once thought that living in a comfortable home where I could see both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway would be heaven and it was for 10 years. Heaven now is sitting back and enjoying the memories.

A nice detatched house with a walled garden big enough to grow veg and to have several rescue dogs running around would be wonderful!

Treetops05 Fri 22-Apr-22 16:58:21

A large library that permanently updates, food delivered once a day (I don't eat much), and a barman 7-10pm, with a big fluffy dog to love.

Heaven for me is any day spent with my DH, which is pretty much every day really.

A day when I don't spent half of it in and out of the loo and can even venture further than the garden.

Any day that I can devote to sewing and crafting accompanied by tea and chocolate!

I feel very humbled by all those GNers who simply want good health, peace and happiness, or to have a loved one with them again. My prayers and good wishes to you all flowers

Walking in the countryside then going into a cafe and treating myself to a meal with a book by my side. Also listening to Classic FM on my radio.

Sitting in the sun in my garden with a glass of Prosecco a bowl of crisps.

My idea of heaven would be a month in Spring in Stresa on the shores of beautiful Lake Maggiore with my darling DH. Unfortunately his ill-health means we'll never be able to go abroad again, but we have some lovely memories - so perhaps heaven is just what I have now because I still have him.

This brought tears to my eyes as we are in the same position. It’s so sad ??

This brought tears to my eyes Lucca as we are in the same position. A cancer diagnosis out of the blue with no previous symptoms. How I hope they are wrong but I don’t think so ???

Thanks to those who posted the link to THE mug - ?

Sitting in a lovely bubble bath sipping a G andT.

A house that stays clean and tidy while I sit in the sunshine having hugs from my two GC - and them doing as they are told!!
