We walked through a doorway in a white painted brick wall, to discover this extraordinary Chinese garden, originally set up as a nobles city getaway garden area.
Like having a holiday and not leaving home
We’ve been so blessed with glorious weather the whole trip. 😊

The canals of Suzhou are steeped in ancient history, dating back to 514 BC
Slowly cruising up the canals, was like going backwards in the “Time Machine” to those olden days in Suzhou.

A dreamy love poem I wrote in May 2018, which was published by Prolific Pulse Press, in their Anthology Heart Beats, edited by Lisa Tomey.

Downhill Run
I was dreaming
Plotting and scheming
Following you skiing
Running the slope, gliding
Twists and twirls
Loops and hoops
Our hearts were racing
Downhill and dancing
Spirals and swirls
Joyous smiles
Swishing faster and faster
Swooping last to first
Silver and gold
Winners and grinners
Your curls unfurl
Ruby hair unfolds
Beauty I behold
Frozen bliss
We kiss
Soul to soul
