This then is the House of Bliss. In this place a child wakes each morning with a glad heart. The magpies and butcher birds greet the day with their holy descants. The dew hangs on fences, garden flowers and weeds alike, and each spoke of the spider web is hung with diamonds that reflect the light. The child sits on the kitchen stool and gazes adoringly at her Granny across the breakfast tale.
This is the old lady of the garden, the storyteller who carries down through time not only the blood-lines but the family stories, the folklore, the medicinal balm, the wisdom of garden and kitchen, the great burden of unreserved love that only a Granny can give.
