This is such a great thread! I've got a big smile on my face just from reading all of the ones so far! Yay! He's a few of mine to maintain the chain....

- That moment when I'm flying back from mainland UK to my home island and it comes into view for the first time in months

- That warm feeling you get just before a big thunderstorm hits

- waking up to/drifting of to sleep to the sound of pattering rain on the roof

- getting a letter from someone who isn't a bank or junkmail

- Waking up and realising you actually have the whole day to yourself

- Looking up at night and seeing the milkyway (which I can only see on my home island, not in the city)

- When I visit friends and theyir cat jumps on me, lets me pick it up or rubs against my legs and they tell me it hates any visitors/strangers to the house (but for some reason, not me)

- The words "I've really missed you"

- Watching a magpie

- the sound of the sea

awww, I feel all glowy now.... :-)
