Happy to have boys travel around with me (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gladsome

'happy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'boys travel around with me' is the wordplay.
'boys' becomes 'lads' (lad is a kind of boy).
'travel' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lads' placed inside 'go' is 'gladso'.
'gladso'+'me'='GLADSOME'

'to have' is the link.

(Other definitions for gladsome that I've seen before include "happy" , "Joyful" , "Delighted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
