That feeling on Christmas Eve…when the house is clean, the food all prepped, everyone is home and safe, the shops are shut and there’s nothing left to do except relax.
The look on my German Shepherds face when she running round on a walk, long hair fluffed out behind her.
When she wakes me early to come into bed for a cuddle, and she wriggles towards me (she insists we must be in contact!)
Random small acts of kindness from strangers….sadly getting a rare thing lately.
‘Thank you’ cards from customers at work… so rare that we all gather round to read them….even the blokes!
A lunch out with my bestie, followed by one of our long walks and a real good chat… totally love this, and come home feeling a new woman (with sore legs)
Really good food “out” I love a good meal somewhere, especially a carvery, but anything that’s good and hot, done with care.
The few days in Autumn and Winter that start with a frost and then sunshine, making walking a pleasure, berries on the bushes, crunchy colourful leaves, your breath in the clean air, then the sun setting and the the sky all red and a frost setting in again. A warm house and cosy bed.
Of course, the clean bed linen -dried on the line- must be the winner🏆
