Dear Diary...
Feeling a bit tired but I’m not sleepy… Oh, I know, I'll tell you about the place I like to go to sometimes. I'll snuggle up under my lovely duvet all cozy. Now, it's not a real place but when I close my eyes and use my imagination it feels real, like I'm really there and it is SO beautiful. This place has lots of trees like a forest and when you walk down a little path it’s a bit dark, but not one bit scary because you can see tiny tiny sparkling lights, just like fairy lights, where the sun comes shining through little gaps in the tall, thick trees.
This place has lots of trees like a forest and when you walk down a little path it’s a bit dark, but not one bit scary because you can see tiny tiny sparkling lights, just like fairy lights, where the sun comes shining through little gaps in the tall, thick trees. Right at the bottom of the path there is a clearing (….that’s like a big space with no trees) except one huge big old tree right in the middle. If you go up really close you will see a super tiny door. I’m not sure if it belongs to fairies but you can open it and go inside! There are wooden steps just like really tall stairs going round and round and when you get to the very top there is a little room filled with lots of lovely things. It's amazing and such fun to look around… In the room there is a table & chairs with a lovely tartan tablecloth ( that s a kind of material they use in a place called Scotland ) it's very pretty, I saw some when we went on holidays there.
There is even a tiny little window with curtains that match the cloth & do you know what…you can even open it! Just pull the little handle and outside there's lots and lots of ancient apple trees. Imagine an orchard ( that’s were fruit trees grow) filled with big juicy red apples, sometimes I feel like I can reach out and pick them….one time I bit into one and the juice dribbled all down my chin haha. Oh, I have tell you, there is also a huge big cushion like a bean bag and it's SO comfy and soft, you can curl up and feel all snug…. OOOps, its morning! Sorry, I never finished the story. Do you know what, I must of fallen asleep because I was so cozy on that huge cushion… I'm actually all snug here in my own bed haha….have to tell you more another time.
I love my happy place. It’s nice to think about, especially if I have a bad day or feel upset about something. It helps me to feel better and the great thing is that I can go there whenever I like haha. Wouldn't it be fantastic if there was a real place like that? Now, that would be really fun. Next time I go might bring my dog Shadow and explore a bit more, you never know where we could end up! Better go talk soon. ‌.
