Where are your happy places?

I am sitting in my garden, mug of tea in hand, listening to the bees and watching the butterflies. It's my happy place.
I started to think about my other happy places. My top 5 came out as;

My garden in the summer
Charity shops
French pharmacies
Book shops
Italy ( specifically the Amalfi coast)

Where are your top 5 happy places? With friends and family are a given.

My bed, with a cup of coffee and my iphone first thing in the morning.
A quiet sleepy little village in South Devon by the sea.
British woodland, walking my dog.
Bookshops
Glastonbury Festival

I will be very cheesy, but my happy place is where my husband is 😂

Righthandman · 24/04/2023 16:59

Aw, that’s lovely @xogossipgirlxo

My home as it's my sanctuary. I sometimes step through the door after work and literally exhale and instantly feel more relaxed.

Watching our TV series of the moment with dh and ds

Spending time with my mum

The sea - I live 5 minutes walk down the road to the beach

Being in nature in general and seeing and feeling - trees, wildlife, rivers, flowers

Theatres - seeing a play, the look and feel of theatres, the past and history they contain.

Reading curled up on my couch

Bookshops/Libraries

Haworth

Cheating really as that's way more than 5 and I'm sure I have a lot more.

On a train, at the start of a journey.
My greenhouse.
In a theatre, waiting for a show to start.

My car, but only if we're going somewhere interesting - eg road trip, not supermarket.
My lovely walk-in, specified by me, shower.
A really good garden centre.

LadyFlumpalot · 24/04/2023 17:02

My car, or,
By the sea. But a stormy sea on a quiet beach or clifftop.

Sun holidays - The sea. Swimming outdoors abroad. The feeling of not needing to do anything. The smell of suntan lotion.

My garden - I'm lucky enough to have a pool.
