    Beautiful, reminds me of “The Secret Garden”, both the book and the song. Oh, how we women love our secret gardens, just beyond gates, with peaceful reflection pools.

    Not because there’s anything clandestine going on, but because we can catch a rare moment of solitude and tranquility within them. Well, Bruce knows…

      Not sure about Bruce, but my meaning is that in this busy, noisy world, it’s often difficult to find that quiet, peaceful reflective time that’s reserved just for us – thank you for giving us that opportunity :)

      I think many women and men like secret gardens/places. When I mentioned to a male colleague that on my recent day off I was going to the memorial garden to remember my dad’s birthday and then after that I was going to have a relaxing day, on arrival at work the next day, he asked me where I went…

      When I told him I had gone to Attingham Park and he mentioned that he loved to go there with a book and sit on one of the benches. He totally got how I was feeling :-)

      And I get how he feels too :-)

      I had a book in my bag for that purpose but instead I just ’sat and rested a while’.

      :-)
