Mine is my allotment.
Even on a cold, frozen January day it makes my heart skip a little.

Getting into my bed at night, and feeling the warm bump of my dog by my feet.

cryinglaughing · 15/01/2024 21:28

On my horse.

CopperLion · 15/01/2024 21:29

Walking in my favourite local beauty spot. Instant inner peace.

Paw2024 · 15/01/2024 21:30

Water, any type
In my bath, in a river, in the sea. Instantly calm and uplifted and happy

shieldmaiden7 · 15/01/2024 21:33

Same as @Paw2024 anything to do with water.

Itsagrandoldteam · 15/01/2024 21:39

A golf course somewhere nice and warm.

Bath or bed. I’m a lazy git Grin.

bakewellbride · 15/01/2024 21:40

My local beach. I absolutely adore it whatever the weather.

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 15/01/2024 21:43

Tooting Bec lido on a hot sunny day.

Water. The sea is the best, but any water works. If I can ever afford to move I'm going to the coast.

ALunchbox · 15/01/2024 21:49

On a daily basis, running in the countryside nearby. Further afield, hiking in the lake District.

In the bath with a glass of wine, I get so little down time so this just let's me relax and recharge

GlassDices · 15/01/2024 22:11

On the sofa snuggling with dc before bed. To me it's perfect.

Hedgesfullofbirds · 15/01/2024 22:23

The 'Valley Of The Rocks', Lynton - a wild, tranquil and very special place, whatever the season, whatever the weather. Always worth a visit

SabbatWheel · 15/01/2024 22:26

Same as @cryinglaughing on my horse.

Houseplantmad · 15/01/2024 22:29

Swimming in the sea.

JeezJerry · 15/01/2024 22:29

The Beach! Anywhere, anytime! Sitting next to the Sea makes me feel so alive (if that makes sense!) Smile

Wearegettingfedup · 15/01/2024 22:30

In my bed with dog and Granddaughter when she stays .
Further afield Cala Ferrera in Mallorca.

Sorry to derail a tad but can you tell me more about what you do at the allotment? I always think they look lovely but have no idea what people actually do in them other than grow veggies? 😂

Paw2024 · 15/01/2024 22:38

This was after about 5 months of shielding in 2020. Drove to the beach early evening and flung myself in the water Grin

Anywhere near the sea .. home or abroad.. just love it .
Other than that anywhere where my Grandsons are.

Bobje · 15/01/2024 22:58

@IHateLegDay Yep, you’re right, I grow veggies there 😂
Went this morning to get some potatoes from the shed, and tried to wrangle a couple of parsnips from the frozen ground.
Sad I know, but I just love growing things - the planning, the sowing of seeds, not so much the relentless watering in the summer but I find it so calming and peaceful there. Also keeps me fit(-ish 😉)

Any forests or mountain.
Other than that, my bed. Im an all or nothing type.

Catsmere · 16/01/2024 06:19

Knitting group in my LYS.

Plumtop11 · 16/01/2024 07:15

By the coast. Our favourite place no matter the weather
