Labyrinth
Ask a question... say a prayer.. walk a blessing... meditate... exercise and simply enjoy the journey.
Library

Fairy Bath
Just walking through Colleen's house invites you to feel good. And then into the courtyard, through the huge wooden doors... a pottery foot basin filled with lavender and rosemary to soothe and warm your feet, before relaxing on the bed with a heavenly view... and you just may have a visit from the baby bushbuck!
