Ahh! I've been to Alsace and yes they do love creating beautiful wine.... nice to drink on its own, and Pinot Gris is great with my enchiladas. Mmmm... must get a bottle soon!

[katie1997]

deep breaths...

those beautiful creamy coloured tulips that almost have a greenish hue. No idea what variety they are but they make me smile every time I look at them. Bliss.

[charliecharlie]

Do you mean these Katie? They are called Tulip viridflora 'Spring Green' and are absolutely beautiful

CC - yes those are the ones, thanks

*smiling with contagious joy*

[katie1997]

Winning at chess*, draughts, backgammon, scrabble, connect 4, monopoly, cluedo. Oh and cards. Doesn't happen often.....

*especially brings joy depending on who I am playing against.

[katie1997]

yes, the simplest things bring the greatest pleasures. For me its hanging the laundry up outdoors - brings immense (irrational to some?) joy.

*considers career move*

Watching the fledgling sparrows being fed in earnest by their parents.

It's as if there is a competition

on who can eat the most in the shortest possible time.

Big Trouble in Little China on telly last night.

My cooker..

I bought a Range cooker here on the EDF for ?250 (tu) ( rrp ?2,000 ish ) as my old one had "expired" (td)

Cleaned up like new & had it connected for ?80 quid ( gas fitter recommended on here (tu) )

I am now in six rings of gas burning heaven & a 90 cm fan oven ( I know , sad but (tu) sad )

Oh & what JOY it brings me each day

W**F

*checks singed eyebrows for growth*

My fireplace + my wingback + the brandy decanter + a Neil Gaiman comic.

[giggirl]

Brendan,

Strangely enough I just can't get a visual on that.

[Brendan]

Me reading comics in front of the inglenook, whilst swigging cognac straight from the decanter.

It?s not that difficult to picture is it?

[katie1997]

...when little lost bunny rabbits with blue dungarees and teddies with one eye are reunited with their owners via the forum :)

(fingers crossed for any lost toys out there yet to be claimed)

Collecting my car from the garage to find it has been cleaned and valeted. Ahh...

[Jah Lush]

And low it has come to pass.

[giggirl]

Finding a Hermes scarf that I thought was long lost in the pocket of a coat I haven't worn in two years. Bliss.

[Brendan]

Hermes, the messenger of the gods?

Son of Zeus and father of Pan?

Hermes of many shifts, blandly cunning, a robber, a cattle driver, a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night, a thief at the gates, one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds among the deathless gods?

That Hermes?

Best give his scarf back.

[giggirl]

He'll have to fight me for it and I can fight dirty when there's fashion involved.

Rearranging my collection of Lulu Guinness handbags.

Prrrrrrrrrrrrr..............

[giggirl]

Do you have the Lulu lips handbag? What colour? Do you have the rose bucket bag? What colour? Talk to me - I need visuals. Shoes and handbags are my porn.

[legalbeagle]

From Lulu:

Large light blue shopper covered in pictures including "London" writing and glamour girl boots picture.

Medium over the shoulder black fabric bag with beautiful green embroidery and "gardening is good for the soul" strap line underneath.

Small black satin clutch with tiny handles, covered in red and pink flowers with individual pearls sewn into the centre of each flower. So cute I could eat it.

No lips or rose buckets yet. But I do feel a trip to Harrods coming on.......

OOOoooh also forgot - discovering very comfy trainer style shoes by Kate Kuba that just happen to have a 4 inch heel......
