Spend a day in the mountains/woods. Fish, Hike, Read, Listen to music....whatever else seemed good at the time.

And be totally alone.

I would like to manipulate one of those big tall cranes on a building site. I would like to use an enormous mechanical digger from a cab, high up above the ground. And I would like to drive around in a little dumper truck.

Then I would like to go for lunch to a little French cafe.

After lunch, I would like to take a ride in a glider or a hot air balloon.

Then I would go to my Mum's for a hot bath and high tea.

Then I would like to go to the Free Trade Hall in Manchester and listen to a promenade concert by the Halle Orchestra, conducted by George Weldon - I would like them to be performing 'Rhapsody in Blue' by George Gershwin. And excerpts from Mozart's 'Magic Flute'.

Then I would like to go out to dinner with my five friends who came with me to the concert.

Not exactly simple pleasures......but that is what I would like. Very Happy
