2nd September 2022
The air was thick with the sound of workmen re-fitting the last fallen cable, well no there wasn’t. True there was a bunch of yellow dressed men standing around our house talking, whilst their three big vehicles, still with the engines running lined the road.
Eventually something caused the men to jump into action and go an do their jobs.
I never got round to cutting the wire, so that was winched back into position on the pole, the last remanent of the Sunday night storm.
We had a couple of pruning jobs to do whilst I had fun making some short legs for a mid century side table that’s been hanging around in the garage for ages.
Later we went on a bike ride, or an adventure to find a house that had a fantastic garden full of flowers.
The trouble was Kelli couldn’t remember where it was. I thought I knew the direction, but after riding up and down the road we couldn’t find it, or it would only appear on even days of the week. Finally she looked on the GPS and we headed in the opposite direction to which I had suggested. I had the excuse of being a newcomer.
We finally found the road and the house.
The owners were just reversing down the drive as we arrived, and seeing that we were interested in their garden gave us permission to look around.
It was a garden of amazing flowers and shrubs, a wild assortment of height and colours, but as we explored the path, it led us to another secret garden with strange objects and wind chimes hanging from trees.
To the furthest point there was a small cottage, a beautiful secluded hideaway full of fairytale character and charm.
Along another pathway was a seating area made from old round shaped windows reminiscent of a Greek temple all this was hidden in a Holland suburb.
Everywhere we looked there was an unusual object. A coloured snake was positioned at the base of a tree, to anyone unsuspecting it could give them a heart attack.
Another Lifetime to go
