- spending a few minutes right at the top of the garden looking out over the fields to the woods
- taking time to check the animals over as they rush helter skelter towards their respective breakfasts
-the coolness of dewy grass on bare feet
-looking out of the kitchen window whilst washing eggs
-ten minutes under the umbrella in the garden with a reviving cup of tea
-family being grateful, and letting you know, for good food in the evening
-conversations with friends
-the few minutes at a time when no traffic can be heard
-standing and listening to birdsong
-realising there's no rush for anything
-opening the windows for the cool of the early morning
-snatched moments to catch up with your book you'd rather not put down
-the moment when the oven door opens to take out fresh bread or a tray of shortbread
-putting away freshly ironed clothes and laundry
- watering the indoor plants
-moments when thoughts of friends pop into your head unannounced
-putting out the kitchen light when all the jobs are done for the day
-realising your children are growing up and into their own lives
-that snap of a moment when everyone else is in bed and the house sighs with you after another busy and satisfying day
-head hitting a good pillow with fresh linen on it after a fulfilling day
