Been spending way too much time on another forum looking at expensive cars and expensive watches.......lost my way a little and started obsessing over getting the aforementioned gubbins. Need to get back down to earth.......
So what are your favourite free things in life that put a big old smile on your face
Not quite free, but food is pretty awesome.
Cake
Walking the dogs,
Cake.
EDIT i forgot, ๐ณ riding bikes on a sunny day
Supper with the kids. They are messy, irreverent and loads of fun. Oh and very very cute.
Sex on the Mrs' side of the bed!
Posh cars and watches are just [i]Stuff[/i],it means nothing and you can't take it with you, enjoy what's free because it's also priceless
Edit, free cake is best of all
Sunrise
Sunset
Walking naked in the rain
Watching snow fall
Cup of tea (might be a few pence)
Sex (unless you have to pay for it)
+1 for sunsets. Tonights was spectacular over Fife. Clear sky with a crescent moon. Breathtaking.
Having a tidy workshop/garage makes me happy, having all the sockets in line and order, all the spanner in their place etc. Well stocked too makes me happy, spares in stock, grease gun full , Park Tool tools standing proudly and neatly.
Sad i know
catching a cracking set of berms just right. or some awesomely flowing singletrack.
can't beat it!
The smell of a bacon butty when you are hungry.
Sun sets.
Riding in a tshirt.
Dog walking with the gf.
i love cooking; not completely free but turning some ingredients into a lovely meal always make me happy.
WHEELIES.

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Internet pron.
The laughter of my lads (the oldest is nearly 30!)
I don't care about anything else in life if I am with them (preferably in a pub, with a good single malt and an open fire!) and hear their laughter .... simples ๐
Running on the beach in the summer in shorts (proper short shorts that real runners wear not these knee length efforts)
a single heart beat.
fresh air in my lungs.
I brand new view.
New life.
The seasonal smells.
Life!

his dad is English and they live over the Border

Walking along an empty beach on a windy sunny day. Sitting outside a nice pub with a good pint watching the sun set then a nice steady ride back home in the twilight, and grabbing a huge bag of fish'n'chips on the way. Sitting in a field listening to skylarks singing their little heads off. Watching clouds.
Ji55, that brought a tear to my eye. Seriously mate, beautiful.
walking barefoot.
the smell of freshly cut grass, the smell of an uncut summer field.
the sound of birds, the rustle of wind and [i]nothing else[/i].
A really good [i](select bodily function of choice)[/i].
Enjoying that eerie and absolute muffled silence you can only get when you're miles away from everything in heavy snow.
Slowly being woken up to the dawn chorus
Sound of water lapping against the hull of a boat
Sand between my toes
The feel and touch of a loved one
Other people's chips. Chips are nice, but nicking a chip off someone else's plate - tastes mighty fine!
You may end up with your wrist pinned to the table with a fork.
Check out Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's 'Flow Theory', no enormous surprises but it's interesting to see the research he's put into it.

Thats easy for you to say!
My wife and my son.
Cuddles,
Fresh air,
Great scenery,
The stars in the night sky,
b**wjobs
The feeling as you finish an epic ride or enduro. A lie in. A log fire on a cold day. Ah so many things!
Glad I started this thread now, it's really cheered me up and distracted me from my materialistic existence.
Maybe I just need to go for a ride
The smell of your lover and the smile on her face when she is happy.
Breakfast with the children - I missed this for so long when I smoked as I was always outside or in the garage for a fag ๐
The things you have that can't be bought are the real luxuries. Anything else is just, stuff
Smell of silence, silence of smell.
Walking on the beach looking for sea shells.
A quickie on top of the tallest dune.
Tea with cranberry syrup and a slice of lemon.
Lemon cake my missus baked 4 hrs ago.
