    Lavender oil in a bubble bath with a good book. Or tea tree oil if scratched to hell by brambles.

    Marmite on toast is a good shout.  I’d add:

    – New socks!

    – Freshly made bed with cool pillows

    – Beans on toast

    – Boiled egg with brown bread

    – Sitting outside with a great view in silence but next to someone you love

    – An unexpected hug from the kids – more special as they get older…

    Falling asleep on the couch, waking up at 8 o’clock panicking that you are late for work, realising it’s 8pm and not 8am. Win.

    A long, crackling, rasping fart followed by a delightfully horrible stench.

    after a long cycle

    As in a ladything cycle? I can imagine it would be quite comforting.

    Clean socks

    A run in the warm summer rain, ideally in a forest.

    A couple of pints in a proper pub with good friends.

    A commute without clipping out.

    The release of a long held in pee, eg, when you’ve been wondering how the hell you were going to get home without an incident after too long in the pub and getting stuck on the bus.  Bliss…

    That feeling in your legs when you lie on the bed after a long day in the saddle.

    The sound of the dawn chorus when you know it’s finally time for sleep 😉

    Fish spotting in the river. First of all it’s like there’s nothing there then blam! They all come into focus.

    Coffee in the garden on a Sunday morning with church bells nearby.

    Cold, fresh pillows.

    Plentiful hot water.  When growing up we always seemed to have poor hot water flow or not much at all.  Love what a pressurised cylinder provides.

    A 48 hour period in which the whole family is away, it’s just me in the house, and I can ride for 3 hours before coming home to eat chicken drumsticks in front of GCN until nighttime, when I can then switch over to bingeing on The Bridge or Seven Seconds or some such show.
