Moments of quiet reflection here as I move away from  this beautiful retreat--a place of healing, peace and welcome---its like home for me--a place where I still hear the sound of us as kids playing in the streams, laughter...the old trees the witnesses over the decades as we grow in age together--gorgeous Earthlings all around this lush, green oasis--oozing  pure Oxygen, providing shade, water to cool the feet but now I move upwards with the sound of the 'babbling brook' accompanying me as I progress back into the blue sky and blazing Sun---the ferns the gauntlet where sunbathing adders lie--the stony path meandering before me guiding me towards Bicknoller Post and magnificent views, breath-taking landscape and scenery........... Briefly--very briefly a gorgeous  deer turns her head deep in the ferns and says 'Hi until next time'- and then in a flash the deer vanishes close by the stream down towards the place of Peace to drink and rest---a spirit of Holford....we acknowledge each other in a moment of time and space---
