Can anything beat that?

Erm, yes

Probably best not repeated here though

Getting in to a bed with fresh linen on and hunkering down with a good read…

Melted cheese.

Getting into a bed with fresh linen on

That’s the thing!

EDIT:

Melted cheese

Another good call. Needs crispy bread though which could make it not so ‘simple’, but luckily can go into the oven with cheese, so I’ll allow it.

smelling fresh rain on a spring/summer morning

Roasted and salted cashew nuts

Easy.

Warm shower to end a sweet day’s riding.

the cold side of the pillow

getting a duvet into it a freshly laundered cover and getting yourself into bed, under the duvet, in one move

Smell of a racing 2stroke motorcycle. 🙂

I really like new socks. Once a year I replace all of my socks with new ones. Just going though this at the moment so it’s three weeks of new socks every day. It’s sooooo decadent 🙂

Carnation milk drunk from the can

Corn Beef ash

Freshly creosoted fence.

Lovely hot shower, then in to a fresh bedding.

Walking the dog up the woods and manicuring the trails.

can anything beat that?

Hmmm, do like bread, and butter, yet on the scale of simple pleasures then getting jiggy with someone who wordlessly, intuitively and rapidly fits yr jig has to rank highly 🙂

Also the smell during and after rain on a long spring evening cycle run. And the smell of chilli on the stove. Oh. Could go on all day.

Taking off your kneepads after a long hot ride.

Lying in bed hearing owls calling. Think the most vocal one right now is a Little Owl. And still have half a glass of wine left!

(To try and trump northwind 🙂 )

Smell of fresh coffee brewing

Fresh sheets, yes!
