The Secret Garden updated from 2009/2013

The snowflakes come down melting making shapes I brush them aside. Through an arch of trees is a slippery path at its end I find "The Secret Garden". There are dying cabbages, pansies and
snowdrops hanging their heads.! I sit on a rock and see a sign saying ‘ Cumbria’, reminding me of the song ‘Kumbiya’ Someone’s crying my Lord'
In the corner is a lady in a Red Dress sitting on a park bench, I slowly go over to her and ask her name "Mary" she said I sat and talked with her and she had had a friend die.
looking up a Red Admiral butterfly with orange and black wings flutters by. A high wall it’s top jagged with pieces of glass has rainbow coloured sun shining through the prisms,
a white rabbit pricks up it’s ears there’s a pool with a swimming mermaid her golden flowing fluorescent hair and her blue eyes. The fountain spray the smell of perfumed nectar, and the peewit twittering. a lost budgerigar passion! flowers with purple stamens, the smell makes me dizzy.

I see a fairy child with silver wings wearing shiny ballet shoes, spinning & turning. an elf in green and orange playing pan pipes. wow I wonder whether I am dreaming! Mary and I make our way home as she offers me a lift going her way to and we know this is start? of friendship with care of each other. I understood her as once I had lost somebody too?
