    Lying on the lounger on my patio as the sun sinks, watching the mountain turn from red to pink to grey as the swallows go home to be replaced by the bats, then the stars start appearing. ..

    In winter…

    Lovely, hot power-shower after a really hard, cold, wet ride. Dress in warm comfy clothing including my favourite socks and a toasty hoody.  Then a well earnt cold beer in a proper pub, in front if a roaring log fire.

    Sailing by the lee in a Laser dinghy (one for the sailors)

    Watching my kids enjoying time outdoors doing walks and rides that kids twice their age would moan and complain about.

    Just about anything bought from a bakery in France or Germany.

    Riding my bike or walking in proper hills

    Tea, a nice steaming cup of strong tea with a dash of milk or black earl grey.

    Edit I forgot ginger nut biscuits, with the aforementioned tea.

    A bit of summer afternoon coupling, sun streaming in the windows, followed by a wee 40 winks cuddling in.

    Bliss.

    A well cooked bit of broccoli in a really good curry (thai, indian, whatever), that’s soaked up the sauce.

    This is a new one for me, but getting into bed with freshly shaved legs – somehow the sheets feel awesome!

    Alone in a freshly valeted car on an early morning run down the quiet motorway (M90) in summer. Ideally to catch a flight to somewhere sunny.

    @matt I think the correct term is…

    It’s a fine line between pleasure and swimming

    I learned the skill quite late on in the time I spent in the class. Back on double handers for a while teaching Mrs g-d and the kids, although eldest has gone mad for Toppers.

    Dispensing with the crackers, crusty bread, and any extraneous middle class toss and  just cutting big lumps of cheese off a selection on a cheeseboard and shoving it in your gob. Washed down with a nice red 🙂

    Hearing Mrs Ready laugh after 28 years of being together (in the good way!)

    Long solo rides in a forest, stopping for a few minutes and completely absorbing the peace, quiet and smells.

    And summer bike rides, nice views, pub stops with Mrs Ready.

    the way a front road bike wheel glides effortlessly over a smooth “polished” road with just slightest shift of your weight.

    A cup of coffee whilst sat in my armchair after having got in from work after an early shift. It felt good to have the rest of the day free whilst “everyone else” was at work (yeah, I know I had to get up at daft o’clock but I’ll let that pass). Sometimes I’d treat myself to a little nap afterwards.*

    Having the free time for a run/road ride/mountain bike ride.**

    Going to watch the birds on the big pool at the back of the house.***

    *Don’t have an armchair anymore.

    **Don’t have the free time anymore.

    ***Don’t live there anymore.

    Carving up some singletrack.

    Carving up a B road in the MR2.

    The first whiff of some really fine dope being lit.

    Lying naked on the bed feeling the cool breeze playing on my skin.

    Paddling out.

    The crackle of the needle between tracks.

    Smelling roses.
