Just touching base gang.

And getting things straightened in my little head.

Then having just read @Sophia1  opus I got a bit confused and enlightened at the same time.  You don't have to try and be anyone, just yourself.

As for how the secret Australian garden became a woodland in England...with links back to roman Britain.  Does it really matter, but Sooty, who is quite well read, did some calculations (which Henry as the resident professor should check), but aren't there some sort of unexplained geomagnetic anomalies scattered around the globe, that realign when time and stars are in certain alignments and conjunctions. We can use this excuse whenever we want to move our place to suit a new story line, or not.

I will float this idea out there. A magic or secret garden, or a 100 acre wood land doesn't really matter. Just call it a vale if it helps (it can be magical or not, in England, or Greece). In the future or in the far distant past.

The important thing is this a 'place' enchanted by the people who inhabit it....meaning us - the diverse people in this thread.

I really enjoy random inputs from @Shaz51  and @Appleblossom with pics and memes.  Pictures paint 1000 words. Meaning people contribute as and when they can. No pressure. And sometimes its nice to help those struggling. It's called being a community.

Sometimes we have awful days/weeks, even months...that's fine. I think I should add to @Sophia1 's its a about fun, its also about where you feel comfortable. Meaning no pressure. Keep that in mind, its not all creative  stuff, sometimes it is just hanging and observing and even that is therapeutic. It even means taking breaks - long breaks. MH is like that. 

I will add one last little comment, something I struggled with when I first popped into your thread. You guys are so creative, and vibrant, how could I possibly contribute. No idea who said it, but it was something along the lines, write about what you know about, and what your comfortable with.

I like cats, Sooty was one of my favourites; I know a bit about ancient history, mythology, and a few other esoteric things, so that's where I come from. Just contribute (or just watch) with stuff that your comfortable with. Even just clicking support is a positive.

Bottom line...this is an enchanted thread! 

Sometimes I get too maudlin, like really thoughtful and a bit too existential. Having one of those times. This will be the last D&M for a while, too heavy. Sooty has to start planning archeological digs around the buried treasure, and how he's going to skoff loads of ale with Dolgen and also plot the translocation of 'our place' half way across the planet.

May all your dreams come true, except one.  ☯
