jul, 10th - secret garden....

day 148:

on the way to Cornwall, the team stops for a game in Somerset (think apples, green fields, cider). 

the pitch is next to the grounds of Glencot House which is an amazingly-eccentric hotel with beautifully-quirky gardens…..

Alice in Wonderland meets the Faraway Tree…..

as soon as Limi can appreciate it…we can create a magical story…..

***

once upon a rainbow…there was a beautiful canary trapped in a cage. to free the canary you have to find the sparkling chandelier hanging from a tree and clink the crystals three times

this opens the path to the trickling stream….if you follow the stream you reach a talking looking glass under a gigantic oak tree

but!!!! beware the hungry Queen who sits on her throne....s! and likes to bake canary pie….

If you ask the looking glass:

‘please most ancient looking-glass(in the wise sense rather than the vintage) tell me the way to the grand-piano-key(s)’

the looking glass will answer:

‘ oh little one…..take three skips to the right, hop up the steps, pass through the gate and you will find the grand-piano-key(s)’

‘blow out the candle and strike the g-chord and the statue will change back into a canary and be set free....’

what a magical place!
