    In general I think most people seem happier where ever I go and the sun is shining, I know theres not much of it in Ireland but when it's out it just make most feel good and brighten's up everyone's day:)


    My favourite place atm is the beach (not in Ireland :p), I live very close to it and while the sun is out and i have spare time, that's where ill be.


    So where's your happy place when the sun shine's bright?

    In my garden with a cold beer some music
    and a friend/family member to talk to
    or annoy.

    I feel relaxed already.

    I've lived away from home for the past four years and whenever the sun shines I would give anything to sit by the apple trees in my Dad's beautiful, big garden in the countryside. It's surrounded by huge trees and fields and often all you can hear is the distant sound of sheep grazing on the hill.

    Coming there from the city feels like another dimension, to know there are squirrels and hedgehogs living amongst the shrubs and even just lying on the swing watching the cat chase bumblebees from petal to petal gives such an enormous sense of peace and well-being.

    In our garden during summer, when the mint, coriander, lavender and camomile are all either in full bloom, or just coming to an end. The smell is fantastic.

    Bray is amazing when it's hot. Such a typical happy day picture when it's sunny.

    I love Mountjoy Square park. I work nearby so it's nice to relax on the grass under a shady tree and listen to music. There are always loads of kids in the playground and people playing frisbee or football. Great spot.

    I also love Fairview park. There's this one little clearing beside the rails opposite Spar. It has loads of little purple flowers and soft moss. Always has butterflies there too and the trees are in a horse shoe shape. I half expect to see faeries flying about in there.

    You can't beat watching the sun shining on Killiney bay and the sea looking like a thousand diamonds. If ever there was a reason to use public transport that's it.

    The train tracks out by my parents house. Me and my friends would waste whole summers down there when we were younger. Some good craic and some great memories. It was also a great place to go on your own when you needed to be alone or just think about stuff.

    Just going to a park, lying down on the grass and listening to music. Preferably with a cold beverage :)

    There's a cafe down by the River Lea canal where I can sit outside, sip my tea, munch a few biscuits and surf the net on my mobile phone. There's a park behind the cafe and on either side of the river there's trees and open green spaces. I've spent many an afternoon there from March to October.

    Kayaking
    Early on a sunny Saturday morning gently bobbing up and down about 40 meters from a quiet sheltered secret beach down in wexford with friends...waves gently lapping on the shore , everyone's quiet , The distant sound of a unseen fishing trawler echoes from the beaches protective cliffs...oyster catchers feeding happily on the shore with no fear of the strange objects floating on the sea.
    I reach in to the water to touch some sea weed that is floating .so cooling, so refreshing,.....
    :)I'm a Happy man.....:)
