I like these.
I still can't think of one that sticks out above the rest, but a few here:

- Festival called Knockengorroch the year before last, in beautiful Scottish valley, gorgeous night, Peatbog Faeries playing. Someone was lighting nightlights and attaching them to helium balloons and letting them fly off, and I was *completely* caned. Felt like I was flying.

- Coming back from London in the train, having met a girl who kind of screwed me up rather a lot. Listening to XTC - Summer's Cauldron, sun suddenly came out just before it hit the horizon, and everything just went beautiful. Sigh.

- Seeing Northern Lights for first time from the house we'd just moved into in Aberdeenshire. Lying on the grass with a whiskey and a small spliff, listening to (again) Peatbog Faeries, watching coloured lights in the sky. Mmm, yeah.

- Spending an afternoon lying in bed with Wifey about a month after we'd first met, drifting in and out of sleep with Simon and Garfunkel playing in background.

- Ceilidh dancing, new year 2003, whirling wifey around during the last dance. In fact, that might be the best moment now that I think about it.

Awaiting moment no.5, which is birth of Trumpet Jnr, due 4th August. Life is great, really.

EDIT - ooh, and a whole summer when I was 18 and on the dole. Would sign on once a fortnight, then spend the rest of the time playing tennis, sunbathing, driving my Fiat Uno around, listening to Belle and Sebastian and getting stoned. God, it was great.
