This Whitby on the north east coast of the UK. I lived here for 5 years when I was much younger.
This is where, according to legend, Dracula arrived in the UK.
The beach is beautiful and the fishing town is full of cobbled twisty turny streets with lots of independent antique shops. There is a part of the beach that is great for fossil and whitby jet hunting.
This is my happy place!
The physical place that most brings me comfort is the ocean/harbor/coast (photo below is Cambria, CA)
However, my truest place of comfort is found in the land of books and the written word, and right now I take great solace in these words:
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Poolside under the blistering Texas Sun with my sister. Driving in my car with the jams playing way too loud, which I am missing now working from home and not driving anywhere. AND OF COURSE MY PERCH!!! My home desk next to my bedroom window will have to suffice for now and I am enjoying the distraction of the birds, squirrels, and my sisters 3 cats playing in the backyard. However I am greatly looking forward to getting back into the office.
Stay safe and well all you lovely people. =D
Yes! Music can really transport someone to their happy place. I love that you love Bruce!
My happy place is where ever my wifey is.

I spent most of my graduate work writing on Russborough. It's a huge part of my heart.

for me my happy place by the ocean with my family including my sweet grand daughter that would put me in a happier place any time! I miss her sweet little face (she is 5 months old), facetime just isnt the same as seeing and holding her
My happy place is sitting by the ocean with my husband. I also love walking, cooking, listening to music and laughing with my friends and family to be my happy place too.
I don't particularly like the sea, however I love going to a beach that is voted one of the best in my region.
I love it there as the dog loves it too, and it brings me joy when I see him having fun digging himself into the sand.
I went camping with the dog in the area once a year since 2009 except for last year, and we went to the beach at least once during each trip.
As soon as I have my camper van, we shall go there, even if it is in winter.

The small island (and golf course) I used to work on as a greens keeper. I'd sit on the beach on my breaks, and collect seashells.
There was small green tree frogs and baby garter snakes. So sweet.
And I hope your camper van brings you much joy and many wonderful experiences. As soon as this pandemic is over I know you will enjoy it to the utmost. And so will your sweet pup.
Thanks Missy.
I hand-stripped him yesterday, and is looking a lot younger and less shaggy. He did not like being stripped, so there was plenty of chicken for him afterwards.
If the van is not ready (the VW factories in Germany are currently closed until further notice), then I shall have a short trip and stay in a B&B so that we could go to the beach.
I was planning to do this for a work trip in March as well as over Easter, both sadly went out of the window.

Oh dear! Where is the last photo from?
