The Secret Garden

Dear Matthew

A few weeks ago we headed to the 'Secret Garden', which is actually wetlands in Gwellup that are meant to be quite magical, with your friends Thatcher and Marlow (and their mum and dad, Pia and Rod).

It took us a little while to find the 'entry' as such and we ended up having to scale a fallen tree trunk just to make it into the 'gardens' which was interesting given Thatcher is only four and you and Marlow are both only two. Needless to say Rod ended up saving all three of you from falling in the water below by quickly grabbing you all when you slipped and almost flinging you to the other side (safely of course).

Unfortunately being the middle of winter the area itself was absolutely covered in mud and it wasn't long before all the kids were covered and you had lost your gumboots when they got stuck in the mud and you went to take another step. We decided to give up for the day but will hopefully return in summer when the mud is dry and we can explore the actual gardens better.

We had a nice picnic on the edge of the gardens in any event and you and the kids explored the beautiful wetlands around the picnic spot.

Love you my muddy explorer!
