Isn't it funny that things which once could make you lose your temper or would feel boring and tiresome can actually make you smile and feel at home after months without it.
It would seem that absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
Being at university and coming back to visit Ma and Pa. Before I would get irritated at their persistence at making me tea every half an hour, but after flying the nest and being unable to afford tea bags their constant brew was a comfort.
Phone calls when you least expect it from someone you wanted to hear from all day. One of the little joys which will always make me answer with a slightly too cheery 'oh hello!'
Stumbling upon a new route which leads you to somewhere you didn't know existed. I realise this sounds a bit like a line from a fairytale but my boyfriend and I found a path which lead to a quaint little fishing town last weekend which was a nice surprise albeit slightly too muddy for my fake suede boots. It had an element of The Secret Garden about it.
A night in with a film and good dinner. This is a winner for everyone, surely!
So that's a small selection of things that will turn me into an excited child.What things make you smile no matter where or when?
