Happiness is.......

Well, I made it - got to the end of May and here is my last blip in the May HeartFreek Photo Challenge Happiness is.....

1. Waking up to this view every morning - well at least when it's sunny!
2. Having Mr. HCB back with me - I have missed him, but realise the garden takes precedence in the summer months - oh and I nearly forgot, cricket does too!
3. Meeting old (sorry Michael) and new friends - Judy, Yvonne, Sharon and Elaine - for coffee and a chat.
4. Just chilling out and enjoying life generally.
5. Starting a challenge and finishing the course.

What a difference the sunshine makes to us all - we nearly always feel so much better when the sun warms our bodies, and for us in the UK, we realise how much we have missed seeing the sun.

There are people on the beach, as I type, but this shot was taken quite early, so no-one much around then. Children are screaming - as they do on the beach - sandcastles are being built, games are being played, many are running in and out of the sea - brave souls are paddling and some are even going right in!! Has the summer arrived? Well, we will wait and see but things are looking hopeful.

Thanks to all those who have visited and left comments during May - I will be doing my own thing during June, but please continue to look and comment, and who knows, I may be back for a challenge in July.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

Have a great weekend, fellow blippers, and wherever you are:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
