The what makes you happy thread.

Watching mytadpoles tucking into a chunk of bread and jet propelling round the pond.

Spending 2 hours outside in the beautiful weather, potting on and sowing tons of stuff, and watching the lizards tease the old fella, getting as close as they can before making him move, and then skeedaddling back to the cracks in the stones where he cant eat them.
Then coming back inside and finding a swallow apparently dead on the kitchen windowsill, picked him up and realised he had probably scudded himself trying to get out when he heard me coming. Took a photo as he woke up, and then sent him on his way.

Knowing that we picked the right weekend to go to Centre Parcs last weekend.

This place just gets better. Yanking out ginockerous handfuls of weeds in my spudbed and hearing my name being shouted. Neighbour farmer asks me if I would like a JCB bucket of cow cack and straw?
Cheers Thierry, you're great.

An unexpected gift of chocolate - awww

A neighbour has just sent his son round with a huge bunch of purple lilac

Watching Bean take his first unaided, un-goaded steps this morning.

One of my fondest memories from my little one too!

Getting a phone call off my decking guy today to say that, even though he's booked up until June, he's found a couple of days free before a major project and is going to come and do mine...tomorrow!

(Pictures will surely follow)

Hame mode wine

[bobleponge]

Knowing that some of my plums will be going to a nice home.
Seeing my carrots poking their little heads above ground.
Walking round the garden first thing in the morning with someone in tow, enjoying the silence.
But 2 besterest things, KNOWING who the new mod is, and preparing to go to Twickers for the day with my daughter.

[HeyWayne]

Being able to use the ignore function again...

[bobleponge]

Leaving home, driving through the village, stopped to speak to Jean Luc, our little village caretaker blokey.
Mentioned the weather was a bit changeable, said that we could do with some rain for the plants.
"Pffff, we need the water for our Pastis."
I love living here.

Having a who-can-grow-the-biggest-pumpkin competition with a granddaughter.

[bobleponge]

Notwithstanding the early hour and the slightly sore head, hearing my youngest granddaughter gurgling away in the bedroom next to me, and picking her up and putting her in bed with me and having a cooch.
Brilliant
