Wood Sprites Merry Ancient Ritual

Sweet-scented lupins , foxgloves , violas , giant lillies ,damasks , mosses and china roses rich in a variety of perfumes and colours Circular herb beds, rare , exotic climbers on the Elizabethan wall. Overhanging undergrowth winding little path past rose flowerbeds Nestled among large mossy rocks rays of sunlight filtered through round tables set with candles, crystal and Middle Ages crockery. In each guests place was a little red box tied with a gold ribbon. At the Castle , it sprang out of an impulsive hearthside challenge Natures needs are lavish in Spring with light and dark capacities Blossoming artfully full of sweetness + light or dark and Gothic. Clever deep forest kitchen stone pantry glittering with candlelight glowing and smouldering with a sage smoked medieval orchestra Angel cake and hot-buttered muffins, bursting with peel + cherries Wood sprites ancient merry rituals ,folklore primeval forest sounds Knights templar greet Friar Tuck with gold gifts + flowers of chivalry Interwoven drapery brilliant string musicians on chellos and violins The chink of champagne glasses rustle of silk and trailing chiffon. Breathtakingly beautiful green eyes sparkled her white slender hand Blazing fire, rich ,dark fruit cake,she leaned against the trunk of a tree Her long dark hair flowing in the secret garden enchanted hideaway
