I enjoy all your posts very much and this was just lovely. Finding pleasure in the simple things is something we can loose sight off. I was crying with laughter at the little clip of the lady. Thank you for brightening up my day. Xx

I hope whatever inspired this wonderful list wasn’t too bad, JP. That video is hilarious, you couldn’t make it up could you? Funniest was the bit at the end where she goes for her son 🤣. I bet that gentleman would be thrilled to bits if you knocked on his door. Thank you for the cheer 💕

Oh the joy , I find it in the most absurd places :) I think it’s because I’m grateful and I’ve learnt more than ever to love life X

Life does that to you doesn’t it? Particularly with living through such an ordeal. Xxxx

#2 just happened to me; #29, your double entendre is hilarious and; #30 we must have the same ice-cream van! 🤣Love the joy of your list. I keep a 'pillow book' - one beautiful, memorable moment of my day. I think your post will be my entry for today 😎 xx

You made me LOL quite a few times reading your list. Haaaa!!! !Go knock at the neighbours, you might make a good friend and village ally. I am proper cheered and am now set to do some chores and get on with the day even though its hot as hell and I am not faring well with it.

It was a form of therapy.

JP Clark's avatar

I think that must have made him so sad.

Jo Richardson's avatar

Very. Must have been devastated

Such a great list! Summer most definitely - one of our best. Seeing the blue sky every day, throwing open the French doors (next year JP), wearing a dress and not wrapping up in layers, washing drying so quickly...the list goes on. I really hope you are back in the Barn for Christmas JP - I am sure you are already secretly planning! Looking at colours for the Barn - it is becoming real. Have a great day JP x

Hello JP! Love your list of happy things. The video of the Mom bringing a a cake is just hilarious! Go and visit your neighbour to see that back yard - he/she has probably been waiting for you to visit. Hope things go better for you and come together next week. Lots of hugs from Canada.

JP Clark's avatar
