Happy 101 - part 2.....




I cannot believe this is the end of the first week of February - I am so late finishing this! Unfortunately I mislaid my happy hat & have been wearing my displaced mother one for a short while but now I have found it, I can finish this (with apologies to Jackie @ home for my tardiness).

This is my (current!) list (which hasn't really changed in the last few weeks) of 10 things which make me happy:

1. Plane trips......I love destinations too but there's a lot to be said for the journey..

2. White 1000 thread count sheets on my bed...... (sorry to be so pedantic but there it is)! I once stayed at a resort in Borneo where they had 1000 thread sheets on the biggest, ultra-comfy bed, washed until soft as butter and ironed beautifully. They were changed every day (and not by me, thankfully!) Utter, utter, bliss...

3. Pedicures......as often as can be reasonably justified....makes you feel like a new woman..

4. Walking into the kitchen every morning and being greeted by a shiny red AGA......ready and waiting with ovens hot to bake, dry washing over or just provide a little homely warmth on a cold day.....happy, happy...

5. The smell of clean laundry.....

6. Squishing the tops of my three month old grandaughter's legs.....

7. A starry sky on a clear night.....

8. The Gisele Bundchens of the chicken world who belong to my neighbour Diana - they are magnificent to behold and provide us with the most delicious eggs I've ever tasted.....

9. Running a deep bath, hot and bubbly, lighting candles & listening to Tchaikovsky's violin concerto.....

10. Last, but not least, (I could go on for quite a bit longer)! Waking up every day next to the kindest, sweetest, most patient, lovely aussie bloke in the entire world.....

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and did lots of happy things..........s

  1. I'm adrift here in my mental image of the Gisele Bundchens of the chicken world... That's a good list, I so agree on the Aga, and I'll have to add 1000 thread-count sheets to my aspiration list.

  2. Fabulous list Susie and no need to worry at all . I don't think that there are any rules that say it has to be done immediately !!!!.... and I can't say anything as I haven't done my 7 things you don't know about me, yet !!
    I've just been watching The Antiques Roadshow from Bath. Did you watch it ? There was a painting worth £200,000. Was that you with it ? Haha
    Love Aga's, love pedicures, love good bedlinen and am waiting for a grandchild !
    Have a good week. XXXX
