Secret Garden


"And I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not
remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go"

***
I feel like I'm still holding on tight to the 'old, kind world', or my childhood. I'm begining year eleven tomorrow, I feel like time flies too fast and sometimes I wish I could just pause everything. I am excited about my future, but also a little scared and anxious.

Today I went to a cafe in South Perth called 'The Secret Garden' and it truly was like a little hideaway garden. The photo of myself was taken in a nursery next door to the cafe. I thought it would be nice to show my face on my blog, so you all know what I look like. I had a wonderful time playing with my dear little cousin, munching on a blueberry muffin, sipping tea and taking in the wonderful atmosphere. I also went to the op shop and got a few more tea cups. For the remainder of the day I will paint and maybe read, so it will be a relaxing afternoon.

Have a wonderful February my dears.

    Hi Carina! <3
    Wow, that place looks so beautiful! That's really cool that there's a nursery next to the cafe :) How was your night out the other night? Hih, yeah! I really like Lebanese bread too, I can't eat many breads but I can eat theirs, yay!

    This post was so good, you summed up how I feel perfectly! Good luck with year 11! I start Friday (how silly!) Its hard to believe we're almost finished with high school altogether! Have a great week! Talk to you soon, best of luck tomorrow! xxx

    Gorgeous photos, I like the sound of the cafe very much- it can't go wrong with a name like that anyway :) And good luck with year 11, it can be exciting and a little scary at the same time. xx

    Lovely photographs, dear! You're gorgeous :) Good luck with year 11, it can get a little iffy, and nerves set in, but you'll be fine. Soak up year 11, because year 12 goes by so, so fast and requires so much focus. xxx

    Oh, you are beautiful - I hope that Year Eleven is a good year for you - it certainly was for me (2010)! It sounds like you had a wonderful day, and your list of the aesthetically pleasing is delightful - have a wonderful, wonderful day, dear. xxx

    Hey we have a cafe called the secret garden here too, but to be honest is not as nice as yours. There is this other place we have thats in the city tho, and you walk down this little path and you are in the pretty garden, right in the city. so cool. how was your first day of yr 11? how exciting, yr 11 was one of my fave yrs because you are a senior but its not as serious as yr 12. hope things are going great. xo
