A Happy Chappy

The Vine
Giving gifts, especially home grown/made produce
My cat. Everything about the little fuzzball.
Exmoor ponies. So fabulous.
The smell of both the above (I shoved my nose deep into Henry's fur last night - fantastic!).
Kicking leaves
The sight of cobwebs strung across paths, glinting in the sun.
Deer grazing in the field.
The village where I live. Sure, people know what I'm doing before I do, but for example, when I had my accident 2 years ago, I found a patio rose bush on my doorstep, from the 'Good Companions' and a lovely houseplant when I was ill.
People who take the time to say Thank You properly, i.e. call by your house and hug you for doing something nice.
Doing something nice - makes me all warm and fuzzy!
A good gallop. Especially on an exmoor, whose legs are half the length of Wayne's.
OH, who supports me in everything I do (and services my car for free).
Walking in the rain.
The first snow fall of the year.
A cup of tea after a cold outdoors experience!
Planting/sowing anything and watching it grow.
Looking forward to a new job (when I handed in notice at my last job, the thought of leaving made me ill for 2 weeks. I will NEVER make the mistake of ignoring my instincts again!!).
Food shopping - beats clothes shopping hands down!
Having what turns out to be a lengthy chat with a complete stranger (and being sorry to leave them).
Good service in shops.

Is everybody all warm and glowy inside, yet??

Oh my God! I forgot Belgian Buns!!!!!!!

The smell of salt in the air, I reeeally miss living on the coast, so the first lungful of sea breeze when I visit is pure heaven.

Today, I loved
- the way "my" blackbird flies onto the garden wall when I get home and sings to me
- when the kids at school stopped talking for one minute and got on with their work
- when one particularly challenging child gave me a hug
- getting an almost-decent night's sleep, instead of waking up every couple of hours
- when someone moved aside for me and I could smile and say thank you
- when the guinea pigs got so delighted to have a bit of kale
- darkness, so I could put on my snuggly dressing gown and start reading my book (it feels indecent if done before 7pm)

My beautiful little family

Nice glass of wine\Champagne
Summer days

Cooking for anyone, anytime, just love doing it
Australia
Surfing a glassy wave
Surfing a rubbish wave
Cooking a fresh fish on a campfire at night
Pottering around pointlessly at home at the weekend
Being on the lottie when the thrill of the all the possibilities hit you
San Pellegrino
Lovely stationary, particularly Smythsons
Nice fountain pens to go with the above
And another glass of wine, thanks.

Most of all the posts above

With you on the San Pellegrino Rhona - everything else pales into insignificance!

When Hayden's laid asleep on me and chuckles in his sleep. I could cry with happiness.

I know what you mean Wayne. There is nothing more gratifying than holding a baby until it falls asleep.
