Take 1 – Action…
“Welcoming”
Entering from the street gate, a fairytale garden awaits, steps and overgrown arches leading towards a fountain, greeted by the majestic old oak tree that announced your arrival from his view on the street with the dropping of an acorn proceeding the welcoming festival inviting you to the fountain arena. Ducks on the pond alarm the gypsies. From Nadya and Aishe songs of summer fills the driveway all the way through the bakery to the vegetable garden, where birds of a feather flock together for the daily festival of life!
Cut.

Take 2 – Action…
“itinerary of the 100 plus year Old Lady”
Guests and family members gather from slumber awakened by song and cheerful chatter. Excitement is brewing over who sleeps where. Sunbathed bedroom with adjacent baby room, becoming a lounging around over childhood stories shared to giggling bathers with toy ships and pirate rescues in a fully filled foamy bathtub, en-suite bathroom. The smell of lavender travels to the lounge where eager teenagers are warming up around the 1954 Magic Woodstove. The third room opens up to the porch where lovers waltz to the sound of music all along the porch through the second bedroom, lounge, kitchen, bakery, garden, rousing the elderly sipping tea in company of a warmed Queen Anne from the cottage to join in merry sing along….

Cottage, 1 bed with bath and shower, open plan kitchen lounge with garden view patio.
Built-in hob and oven.

2 x Wooden Gypsy wagons double and 3/4 bed known as Nadya and Aishe included.

Hobbit single cellar room with bath, toilet and basin.

Ssshhh… from the main kitchen to scullery the secret cellar reveals that it’s pure magic cast on rock foundation, finished off with wooden floors, beams, ceilings, doors and doorways, sash windows with shutters and iron work artistically designed to keep the uninvited outdoorsy.

The next chapter awaits….if you are to write the song and lyrics for the next screenplay, act promptly!
