Things to Bring Joy
Over on her blog the other day my friend Katy said …
This morning I chanced upon a short thread on Twitter in which Emma Wayland writes a list of things she would gift to someone who was struggling and needed cheer.
… and asked us to say what would be on our list.
So here are some immediate thoughts from me, in no particular order.
- A box of Earl Grey tea (loose tea or bags).
- Almost any of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.
- Bottle (or better a case) of Domaine Maby Tavel Rosé.
- Part 1 of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.
- White chocolate Toblerone.
- Hot crusty bread with lots of butter.
- An hour on a summer’s day at Dungeness.
- A large and stylish bouquet of top class flowers.
- Warm purring cat.
- Sitting nude in the garden in warm sunshine.
- Adnams Dry Hopped Lager or Ghost Ship (preferably on draught).
- A large measure (it’s usually called a bottle!) of Adnams Copper House Gin, with Schweppes Tonic.
- Really good fish & chips.
- A hot shower and a bed with crisp clean sheets.
- A night of really good deep peaceful sleep.
Like Katy, I’ll ask what’s on your list?
