Happiness Is….

Sloe not slow!

Sitting down with a hot mug of tea, munching some cashews, and getting ready for The Chase

I have just bought the latest Ellie Griffiths.

Walking by the river when the sun is sparkling on the water.

Two hours in the garden this morning getting it back under control after building works.

The weather was clement, I was protected from the wind and the ground was no longer soggy.

Sitting in the sunshine with a coffee enjoying utter peace apart from the beautiful birdsong.

Dates in my diary for meetings with family or friends. Lovely!

Knowing my children and grandchildren are ok. Nobody seems to be ok at the same time very often but it’s bliss when they are.

Weeding in the garden in a warm ish but not hot day.

A cup of tea and a biscuit. Or a glass of wine and some salted nuts and a new book or magazine .

My cat on my lap purring like a traction engine and licking my hand, she loves me!

Picking granddaughters up from school and listening to all their news

My work colleague bought me lunch from the sandwich shop on the way to work and we sat in the sun outside at lunchtime and I devoured it

This was followed by a hot bath after work and now just relaxing knowing I have the weekend to look forward to!

… snuggling up on the sofa with a warm purring cat and a good classic film.

Snuggled up in my Oodie with a hot chocolate supplied by Mr. B after a bracing walk by the river

Today, it’s getting two full loads of washing dry in the garden. I’d nearly forgotten how fresh and clean wind-dried laundry smells.

Currently, chatting to 3 dgc as they eat pizzas at the kitchen table.

Later steak, maman potatoes and salad with a glasse of rose.

Happiness is beginning to appear occasionally in my life after the death of my lovely husband 4 months ago. I know, so recent that awful loss and the difficult year that preceded it. So this week I felt happy to see the snowdrops in my garden. I shared a moment of happiness with two grandchildren . I had a tinge of happiness as the log burner flared, I sat with a glass of wine (past 6pm of course), the dogs happily snoozing close to me, catching up with gransnet.
I’m waiting to buy the new Ellie Griffiths.

Part of the family visiting for the weekend. Lots of laughs and a cuddle from GD.

Sitting in the garden on a warm day listening to the birds singing. Cant wait to feel this again.

A summers evening walking with my daughter and grandchildren on the beach. Thankfully we only live five minutes walk away so often pop down after school

Reading Ilovecheese post saying she’s just bought new Ellie Griffiths. I’m ordering now, I love her books.

So glad that happiness is starting to appear again in your life Iam. You’re one of my favourite posters. 😀

Coming in to the warm after a wild and windy walk along the seafront.

My happy place is when any of the GC sleep over and slip into bed in the morning for that sleepy cuddle, just blissful.

Second is when my cleaning fairies have been and I can curl up on the sofa with iPad and kindle knowing there is nothing to be done ✔️

Work done, large G & T and a good book I'm easily pleased.

Sitting on the sofa, cat snuggled in tight alongside me, cup of coffee, a chocolate biscuit or two and a good book. Heavenly.
