Feeling really happy today -can't stop smiling! First beautiful day since returning to Italy from UK

- been for a ride along the canal and through the Elm wood. Floor carpeted with yellow and bright in the sunlight filtering through the trees - my inner child made me stop and have a kick around in the leaves -great fun and no-one was watching.

I knew there'd been storms while I was away and at one point a birch tree had been up-rooted and fallen right across the path and the canal. Hoisted bike over and rode home...
Why am I so happy -because when I got back I found my mobile phone in the basket of my bike which I lost about 3 weeks ago! Not been a bad day so far - won 30 euros on a scratch card this morning and bought a new laptop too!
