“ Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence"

Aristotle

So what's making you happy?

So Agatha Christie Week seems to have lasted me a month or so...

Not that it has taken me a month to read just one book but with the

chillier evening it's been nice to curl up with a good book.

It really does make me happy!

Agatha Christie Week makes me happy

It's Agatha Christie Week

now that makes me happy because I love reading Agatha Christie.

At one time I had every single one of her Miss Marple books in paperback,

I gave them to a neighbour as my book shelves were overflowing. Something I sometimes regret but oh well it made her happy ....

Anyway this week I intend to indulge myself by reading some Agatha Christie only this time I think I'll visit the library and borrow the books rather than buy them.

Free books now that is enough to make anyone happy.

What's been amking you happy since we last spoke?

The Seaside

The British seaside makes me happy.

With all the fun of the fair, candy floss, ice creams and fish and chips.

Sandcastles, paddling, rock pooling and sitting huddled under towels.

Walking the dog on the beach, collecting shells.....

What makes you happy?

Hydrangeas Make Me Happy

I'm still on a bit of a floral theme and at the moment it's

my Hydrangeas that are making me happy.

So gorgeous!

But what is actually making me really, really happy about them is

that I've just discovered that it is really easy to dry them.

How happy will I be in deepest winter when I have a vase

of glamourous mophead hydrangeas to remind me of warmer times.

You'll find the instructions here - How To Dry Hydrangea Flowers

Do you think they would make you happy?

Flowers Shop Stories

I love Sally Page's books.

How can anyone fail to be cheered by those glorious floral photographs.

You can find out more at her website and better still see loads of Sally's photographs

on her blog Flower Shop Stories.

Take a look I'm sure the photographs will make you happy too.

It's Lovely Weather for Ducks

Another grey rainy day who could believe it is August?

Not that I mind, I'm one of those lucky people who actually like the rain.

Yes that's right folk, rain makes me happy!

The ducks seem quite happy too.
