I think we can all be a little nosey sometimes, I definitely can be. I love seeing glimpses into other peoples lives and especially things that they like and that make them happy. This is why blogging is so wonderful, you can really connect with others through posts and comments which strike a chord with you. For quite some time I have seen a common topic amongst various blogs and YouTube channels that always interest me and appeal to my nosey side; favourite things. I always enjoy these posts as they give you an idea of what the author likes and what makes them happy. So I thought it would be fun to list my favourite happiness inducing things.
At first I drafted a post about my favourites during the course of a month, but it was huge, some of them were no longer relevant thirty days later and it was difficult keeping track of so many.
So instead I will choose a handful of my favourite things which have made me feel grateful and happy during the course of the week that I will post every Friday.
These are my favourite things which have made me happy this week…
Wild Violets dotted amongst a confetti of blossom
Ranunculus which have really passed their best, but they are still perfect to me
The official start to spring which hopefully means lots more of this glorious sunshine
Driving my little car with the roof down for the first time this year
Spotting an adorable ladybird sunbathing on a nettle
What has made you happy this week?
Lovely photographs, Morwenna! This has been a "post-wedding" week as one of our daughters was married last Saturday! We have had the rest of the family in the house, so that has been a source of happiness. A trip to my alma mater for a medallion ceremony and membership in the Gold Club was a happy time, as was a visit (thought much too brief) with a long-time friend and a visit with my husband's elderly cousin. We also worked in a visit with the grandchildren!:-)
This week I've been made happy by…sunshine (like you!)…my Dad having a successful operation & coming out of hospital quickly…taking Alice for a warm, beautiful walk on the hill…spending time with my youngest nephew, William…waking up in beautiful London this morning & treating myself to breakfast…working hard & having time to play too!! Lovely post & gorgeous YOU!! Love you sweetie, happy weekend xoxox
What a wonderful post, Morwenna! I love your idea of doing a weekly post about things that make you happy! A few things that made me happy this week: like you, the official start of Spring; my pink Magnolias about to bloom; chives growing at an alarming rate in my herb garden; robins and yellow goldfinches returning to my yard; seeing Henrietta pecking around the yard; and the glorious sunshine and mild temperatures we had for days on end. I could go on and on, but I have to stop somewhere! Thank you for sharing your happiness with us, and in turn, allowing us to share ours with you. Happy Spring weekend to you, dear friend! xoxo
Lovely post! All those things would make me happy too! Happy Spring : )
beautiful post. violets and hyacinths in my garden, getting washing out, helping The Girl do her handwriting at school on Tuesday, buying a glut of books yesterday, and getting my hair cut. The things that have made me happy.
enjoy the sunshine xx
And they are all wonderful things to be joyous about!!! Yes, little peeks into the lives of others is incredibly fun….thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week….

Oh Rachel,
Thank you so much for telling me about the things that made you happy this week. I am so happy to hear about them all, especially your Dad's successful operation, I expect relief and joy doesn't even come close to how you must have felt. Sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Hurrah for the lovely sunshine, fingers crossed for a glorious Spring!
Wishing you a happy week.
Love Morwenna ♥
Thank you Sadie for telling me all about the things that made you happy this week, I loved hearing about them all. I can totally understand why they made you happy, they would make me feel happy too.
Wishing you a happy week.

Thank you Rosinda! Your happy highlights from the week sound lovely and they would have made me feel the same way. It is interesting that a great source of happiness for many of us is good weather and how it brings out the best in Mother Nature too, so fingers crossed for a glorious Spring!
Wishing you a happy week.
Love Morwenna ♥
