That was one of my regular favorites,pick up a bag of fish n chips in Aberystwyth and eat them in a lay-by over looking the sea.
Used to do same up in Hebrides where i lived, big bag of chips and sausage in Stornoway and sit by sea to eat them.
Magic.

As a young kid i loved digging out a deep hollow in the sand dune bank, pulling my anorak over my knees and zipping it up to my neck, with my hood on pulled all round my face listening to the wind,waves seabirds and sand grains rustling across my hood.
As a trooper i did a similar thing in my arctic bivvy bag and listened to the distant seabirds in sub-zero temp while nice and toasty in my bag, the reason i was there temporarily forgot.
Funny i still enjoy this act of cocooning,even now at my senile age, listening to the geese roosting, the light drizzle on my hood and a glass of sambuca to help with the memories.

I have finished another section of the house that I am currently pointing and nipped into the local town of rieupeyreux ( how australian does that sound) and have stocked up on beer and snacks for the coming weekends rugby and food in general as we may be going into lockdown again here in France so I want to make sure it is as happy and positive as a lockdown can be.
I am sat here enjoying a nice belgian beer and a bag of crisps whilst having an afternoon off because of the rain,which is a simple pleasure to achieve :-) certainly beats sitting around moaning about the weather !!

simple pleasure to me means getting away from other people and having a quiet walk in the countryside.

A lovely walk in the countryside is indeed a simple pleasure and not one we should take for granted. Have you been out for a walk today Lonewolf and if so what did you see and do that made it a pleasure?

unfortunately it is raining heavily here today and I have not been able to get out for my usual morning country walk, I doubt I would have seen anything if I did for the rain. there are a number of horses in the back field and sometimes a squirrel in the trees in the wood, I know there are badgers in the wood too, the sheep have returned to their main field and the hay/silage has all been cut and bagged and stored in the old barn down the lane.

The joy of never having to work again ever ever ever and do whatever you want...priceless

Being indoors listening to the rain on the roof. Im no fan of wet weather nor winter but when its here and you're warm and snug cosy indoors listening to the wind and rain its almost as good as a summers day. |

not having to mix with the masses on public transport during commuting times, priceless.

I can't remember when I last used any kind of public transport.
