I had my last infra red sauna yesterday. There was a mix up about the appointment time so I decided to go for a walk while it was heating up. I saw a public footpath leading towards a residential area with rows of characterful terraced houses. I continued and felt myself relax, flanked by streams of water flowing on either side.

The path soon led me to a pond where ducks quacked cheerfully, flapping noisily across the water.

A joyous dog wagged its tail excitedly at the ducks, eager to join them in play. I sat on a bench facing the sun.

After a couple of minutes I turned to face the opposite direction. And then I thought, this is it, this is happy.
