My Happy Place

Today is ANZAC day in NZ where we remember all those who have fought and lost their lives in past wars. (ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps). As a result of this national memorial day we get a long weekend with the Monday off so we have chosen to come back to out holiday house for a couple of days.

I so love arriving here after the drive up - which isn't onerous and takes us through some beautiful countryside. I love the simplicity of this little house where everything is pared back to what is important in life - shelter, warm clothes, good food, a comfortable bed, book to read and the company of my family. 

I am in my happy place when I have the chane to lie on the couch with a cup of tea, chocolate, cosy socks and something to read. It couldn't be any better and something I am so appreaitive of being able to do everytime I get to do it!

Do you have a happy place? Somewhere that you are drawn to? It could be somehwere at home or a seat in your garden. A nearby park or beach or a place you get to holiday in. I htink it is important to have these places that hold a special place that we can look forward to being or enjoy remembering spending time in while we go about the everyday activities of life. If you haven't got one I sincrely hope you are able to find one that you can carve out as your own special place.
