One. The sight of the dozen roses my beloved sent me yesterday for our wedding anniversary, and the reminder this gave me that he’s coming home tonight for three whole weeks.

Two. The sound of my  youngest coming in to say good morning (and have a cuddle) as soon as he realised I was up This used to happen every morning, but he’s growing up…

Three. The smell of the peppermint trees and the tuart forest on my morning walk.

Four. The sight of a kelpie puppy clambering onto a chair then onto his people’s outdoor table – then looking around to see if anyone was watching. I was, little puppy!

Five. Getting caught in a little shower of rain, composing this sentence in my head, then getting dumped on my a huge cloud a few seconds later. What’s a little water between friends, hey?
