Title: lifes simple pleasures
Post by: tbone on December 12, 2009, 09:32:00 PM
Mrs T and i have just enjoyed a lateish supper of cheese n crackers with pickle, very satisfying and very simple.
So what simple pleasures in life do you enjoy?

I always enjoy a simple walk in the rain. It seems to wash away all worries and cares. ;)

Along similar lines, leaving the cottage to go to work at 5am each morning. In Summer I'm greeted by the rising sun across the woods & the birds already singing. In Winter I get to see the stars against a pitch black sky. After 24 years of working for Royal Mail, I'm still not used to getting up early every day, but I do enjoy being out & about before the rest of the World wakes up & buggers up the day.  :)

A gentle ride through the countryside on a sunny late afternoon or early evening in Autumn.  Wonderful colours, wonderful views, all my most memorable rides have been in Autumn.
