The Walled Garden By The Sea

There is a little walled garden that lies in the most beautiful of locations.

It has views of the ocean, fragrant blooms with happy faces and a haven for birds and buzzy bees.

It is a place that I love to visit.

It is a place where dreams are dreamed and thoughts are processed.

It is a little haven in my little corner of the world and one that I hold close to my heart.

Many just pass by in the car, many walk past without stopping.

I however like to stroll around, smelling the flowers and sitting in the sun watching the vast, endless ocean wash away my cares.

Everybody needs a place like this.........a silent retreat.

This is mine

sshhhhh  don't tell anyone or I won't be on my own there anymore ! lol

oops.......too late !

That's ok, I'm a good sharer.

Maybe one day you can go there too.

When I was a little girl I used to dream that fairies lived there.

I would close my eyes and imagine fairy tea parties and red and white spotty toad stools that the fairy folk would stand under when it rained.

Of course the fairies are now all gone......

or maybe they are still there but are hiding from me. Maybe they are waiting for my adult mind to believe in them again. Believe in magic and endless possibilities.

Anything in this world can be achieved........

If we just believe

Close your eyes and imagine yourself here.

You can hear the sea

and the sun is shining down and warming your soul

A burst of colour always makes me smile. These poppy's are simply stunning.
A chorus of buzzing bees could be heard happily zooming around from flower to flower.
A little bit of buzzy magic from mother nature.

and this little guy flew in to say hello.

He turned his back shyly as I pointed my camera at him.

but I know he was bursting to say hi!

So now you know where I like to hide from the world.

My tiny corner of peace and serenity.

A place where fairies meet and ride around on the backs of buzzy bees.

A place of magic.

and because you have all been so good at keeping my little secret, I am going to throw a little tea party tomorrow.

After all

SPRING HAS SPRUNG !

HOORAY !!!

I almost never thought it would come.

The sun is warm and high in the sky.

So bring your tea cups and a plate of something yummy and we shall sit and drink tea, chatter away and dream.
