Not quite a secret garden

A little while ago one of my friends mentioned a small community garden that nestles in a well trod part of Soho.
I was bemused....
I wander round those streets pretty regularly and often use the alley she was describing as running along side it.
I knew the church that borders the other.
But the garden.......?

So a few days ago I went and looked.
Properly.
Not just that brain in neutral wandering along with my eyes open but not really seeing that is often my style of meandering from one place to another.

And there was this wonderful garden!
Peaceful, beautiful, full of people sitting, studying, hugging and just enjoying.

I mentioned it to my workmates today and one of them commented that she had seen it on her travels around london too, but had thought it was a private garden and had not looked for the entrance.

It has its own blog too, now added to those that I'll come back to regularly.

I would have liked to see the agricultural show and church fayre, but theres always next year :D

For now though, I'm just glad to find a place where I can sit and be on my way from here to there.
