Simple Pleasures

Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference to how you feel.

One of my simple pleasures is Vegemite on toast. Love it or hate it? I stand loud and proud on the love side. As I am gluten intolerant I don't tend to eat it very often, but every now and then it is worth the cheeky deviation - especially if it is accompanied by a hot cup of tea!

When I was young my Nan took my Mum and I to France. Being so young it wasn't always easy to find something I would eat on the menu at the restaurants we would go to, so my Mum and Nan had taken to carrying a jar of Vegemite around in their hand bag and would ask for bread or toast. Now I am not too sure whether I recall the incident myself, or have just been told the story so many times it feels like a memory, but there was one particular instance where the adoring French waiter insisted on organising my meal for me. This of course led to a sandwich with Vegemite spread a couple of centimeters thick and I was horrified with the first bite! To this day I am still a spread on, scrape off kinda girl.

Are there any simple pleasures in life you can't do without?

And how do you take your Vegemite?
