Fun Monday# 24

Deb the crazy stitcher/Deb's melon patch is the Fun Monday host this week. This is her request:

Show your favorite place to relax. It can be a chair, corner, ledge, or limb. :) Get out those cameras and take pics or just write how you feel when you are in your "zone"

When I read Deb's request my first thought was I don't actually have a favourite spot for relaxing, I tend enjoy where I am at any given time.
However this first photo is my dream location somewhere warm where I can sit on a beach and watch a beautiful sunset with my family around me. This was actually taken on Anna Maria Island Florida where we had a family holiday in 2003. On a hot summer evening I could equally enjoy being in a secluded cove in Cornwall.
The place where I spend a lot of time relaxing and laughing is in this chair infront of the computer where you all keep me entertained for hours at a time- like now! I love my bed, at the end of the day there is nothing I like better than feeling relaxed and cosy and settling down to read before sleep takes over. After coming back from holiday I have a lot of magazines to catch up on as you can see.
I have mentioned before that I love to sit outside my kitchen door on the little balcony. This is where I have breakfast and sit to read the paper when its warm enough- which is not as often as I would like in this climate!
This a lovely warm spot in my sitting room any morning throughout the year (when the sun is shining I have to partially draw the curtains as it's too bright to read- like today when I took the photo).
I sit with my feet up, bliss and fall asleep! I feel quite jet lagged so that's what I will be doing later after I've done the grocery shopping.
For TV viewing I sit here with mess alll around me (I didn't clear up last night's mug of Camomile tea before taking the photo and just out of sight there is a huge pile of newspapers and magazines (collected when I was away) for me to cut of tokens and do the crosswords before they are recycled. I would love to have a reclining chair as I think this would be the ultimate luxury and my chair is now so old and dated, but it's a dream at the moment as while I was away one of the TV's gave up the ghost and the washing machine is leaking profusely so replacing these has to take priority!

As you can see my chill out zone is quite ordinary and really a bit boring. I'll be over to visit you all during the next couple of days and I'm looking forward to seeing where everyone else relaxes!!
