1. My garden in the sun. Did anyone participate in National Naked Gardening Day on Saturday? I didn't, I hasten to add (Cheltenham isn't quite ready for the shock!), but the thought of it did make me chuckle.
2. Finally joining the squares of the 'broken leg' blanket for Ruth. Just the ruffle border to do now.
3. My new Kitchenaid mixer. I know, it's red and not blue, but it's a long story. I also got a huge bargain and tons of free stuff with it so I am happy to live with the colour! It makes very tasty bread too.
4. Having my dog home. He had a lovely holiday with my parents but I think he's secretly pleased to be back!
5. The anticipation of the Malvern Spring Gardening Show on Saturday.
6. Being back at work - I love my job, and missed it.
7. Planning our Summer holiday to Sweden with our friends.
8. Gin and tonic with lime.
9. 'Lady Audley's Secret' - my new book.
10. Summer....it's on its way!!
What's making you happy?
So what is Lady Audreys secret gardening naked?

No wonder you're feeling happy now you're on the mend ! I'm treating myself to a glass of wine and some roast chicken . The smell as it cooks is very cheering .

Hi Cathy, The show was great wasnt it? hope you got some good bargains too,I wish i'd got the money to have more of those obelisk and I'd have liked to have seen those stalls on the first day,I bet they had some really lovely things..there was a lot of very 'distressed' stuff left..but a bit too distressed even for me!(knackered and full of woodworm more like!) Glad to hear your leg is on the mend and the naughty but gorgeous Bodie is back home, I loved your list of happy stuff, that blanket is utterly gorgeous!
ps, cant remember whether I left a message already on your other post but we used to go to Bradgate Park every sunday when we lived over there..seeing 'old john' made me all nostalgic for the place again. Have a lovely week x

I love your blanket,looks very cosy

Just as well you got the kitchen aid here because I don't think the ones from the US work here even with an adapter. I love the red, wish we had red but mustn't grumble as it was a gift! :-)
