thank you ledgewood for this post.

I have a place of peace. It is a small cared for garden in a park near me. It is usally empty as it is just off the main path. When i need time (and its not raining!) i wrap up in my coat, scarf and gloves and sit on my favorite bench listening to music. It is cold at the moment so i feel frozen in time, everything is still. I sit and stare at the squirrels and birds. It is my refuge. I miss it so much when i cant go there due to the weather or lack of time but i guess this makes it even more relaxed when i do get to spend time there.

I wish i could have a place in my house but the only room i have is my bedroom and my flatmates continue to think that it is ok to disturb me despite me locking the door. **sigh**
