Sunshine, success and satisfaction.
Until recently, not words that have typically gone hand in hand with Great Britain.
But a glorious golden summer for a nation that can seemingly do no wrong at present has put paid to that and 2013 is proving a great time to be British in more ways than one.
On any given year, long stretches of clear weather and record-breaking temperatures would ordinarily be sufficient cause for celebration.
But a remarkable run of sporting success, combined with the arrival of a future king, has national pride peaking at new levels.
The nation stole the international sporting spotlight by hosting arguably the greatest ever Olympic Games last year.
And 12 months on, there's no sign of it stepping aside.
For so long the United Kingdom found itself the butt of sporting jokes - frequently directed from Australia - and even seemed to embrace its tag as the loveable loser.
But the British public, and indeed the rest of the world, is coming to terms with the fact the nation may be, in fact, very good at sport.
Perhaps even the best.
Feeding off the momentum from 2012 - when the host nation raked in 29 gold medals at the Games and Bradley Wiggins became the first British man to win the Tour de France - the success has kept flowing.
In June, Justin Rose became the first English golfer to win the US Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.
Then followed Andy Murray, who won Wimbledon to end Britain's quest for its first men's champion at the All-England Club since Fred Perry in 1936.
Murray had also won the US Open in September.
The British and Irish Lions won their first rugby Test series against Australia in 16 years and England won the first two Ashes Tests to be well on their way to another series victory.
As if that wasn't enough.
Chris Froome ensured back-to-back victories in the Tour, while Britain also threatened to claim another golf major with Lee Westwood leading into the final round of the British Open before fading to allow Phil Mickelson the title.
Not a bad run by any standards and a direct flow-on effect from the Olympics, according to head of the 2012 Games organising committee Sebastian Coe.
"There is now a greater confidence in British sport," Coe said.
"Team GB showed other sports that Brits can be winners. Just look at what has happened this summer."
The ramifications of this new-found confidence are felt nowhere harder than in Australia, not so long ago the envy of many a sporting nation.
Aside from the obvious pain of being on the receiving end of many of the Brits' great triumphs, watching their great rivals soaring so high has left Australian sport's tail firmly between its legs.
Golfer Adam Scott probably put it best when he was asked to discuss the Ashes prior to the British Open.
"It's not a great time to be an Australian over here," Scott said.
"I move very quietly around town."
The good news hasn't been limited to the sporting arena.
The royal birth added to the sense of celebration, even the economy is on the improve, while the Olympic anniversary has provided just another excuse for a party.
It's feel-good stuff but it could also have far-reaching benefits, according to Professor Cary Cooper, chair of the UK's Academy of Social Sciences.
"The current positive factors make people happy and affects their behaviour in a whole variety of ways, including improving workplace productivity, spending more to help the economy, encouraging businesses to invest, making people more sociable and increasing camaraderie within our neighbourhoods," he told the Daily Mail.
As glorious as the run has been, Coe says the key - at least in sporting terms - is to keep it all going.
Given a key to Britain's upsurge has been money, there's every chance it could.
Strong funding for elite programs and sports science means seeing the red, white and blue of the UK on top of the sporting heap could be a familiar sight for some time to come.
Then again, the pessimists that remain will point to next year's soccer World Cup in Brazil as a chance to return to normality.
