If you could be anywhere, doing anything....

[Alittlelessthanuseless]

With anyone right now....what would you be doing?

I’d be sitting on a beach, in the sun, with my granddaughter, eating ice cream and building sandcastles.
I miss her cuddles, her laugh and her love of everything new. She’s the funniest 2 year old I’ve even known (I’m biased, I know!)
I just love her love of everything and I miss her so, so, so much.

I would be alone, doing yoga on a beach in Greece watching the sunset.

Sailing around the Greek Islands in beautiful warm sunny weather and looking forward to sundowners at the end of the day.

In the pub with my girlfriends planning our trip to Rome which has been cancelled twice.

Somewhere on my own with no-one talking to me or asking me to do something and with no phone or internet....in fact maybe a flotation tank!

On my way home from post work drinks. That would be an absolutely normal pre Covid Friday night and I just want to be doing something normal!

I definitely wouldn’t be with my kids. Or my husband. I’ve been with them constantly for the last 10 months!

Bar with my best friend.

Sitting on a beach in Cornwall listening to the waves, wrapped up warm, with a little bonfire, a few beers and my best friends,

Having Sunday dinner with my parents and the rest of my extended family

Laying on a sun lounger on a beach in The Maldives with a pina colada

In the Barrowlands with my best mate waiting for the headliner to get on stage so we could sing our hearts out

I miss live music so much

It'd be Christmas 1988. I'd be 7. I'd be at my now deceased grandparent's with my mum & dad and there'd be a sparkly tree and The Snowman on the tv and the adults would be tipsy on Martini Rosso and I'd have a lemonade.

Easy on a white sand beach 30 degrees slight breeze azure water with family

With a nanny to take some cc lift ;

And cocktails

Friends coming over

In the Maldives watching the sun go down from my water bungalow and getting ready for dinner at a table surrounded by palm trees and a warm breeze!

Having a meal at the Italian restaurant with my friend before going back to my peaceful, tranquil, fresh, tidy and clean home where I live alone, very happily.

Hugging my mum and dad 😥

I'd be having a meal with my parents, husband and sister.

I'd be walking along the beach with my family and our dog - ideally in north Devon

@speakout honestly came here to post something exactly like this.

DH does yoga too so he could come with me, but only if he's very very quiet.

On my mums back garden while she sits and "supervises" me and DP cutting her lawn. Throwing a ball for her huge dog

Dog died five years ago. Mum died at Christmas.

Realistically- sat outside my tent watching dp and dd melting marshmallows on the camp fire. Wine in hand, dog on lap, wrapped in a fleece. I NEED to go camping before i lose my mind.

A beach bar on the Med, eating seafood and listening to the sound of the waves crashing. Looking forward to days of not much to do, other than eat, read, play with DD, swim and relax in the sun.

Putting the world to rights in my best friend's flat with a decent bottle of red and some music of our youth.

Oh my god this almost made me cry. I wish so much for christmases like these. I wish I could go back to the days when Christmas was so truly magical. I used to love those days.

Seeing my family, eating together, talking nonsense and laughing.

Sitting in my newly restored old stone house over looking Hvar harbour, with the wood fire burning.. reading a novel. One day :)
