It has a very special place in my heart and I've been here often.
When James and I were dating we used to come here for pleasant walks and we had our wedding photos taken here too. When I was pregnant with our firstborn child, when I wasn't too ill (which was very rarely, as I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum), we tried to get up here for a walk.
Then after he was stillborn, I spent many hours up here in this spot pouring out my heart to God and feeling so alone and heartbroken.
Since then we've been often as a family and I still come alone or with one of the children.
It's a precious place of beauty and peace. The sound of the multitude of birds singing is like hearing the most incredible choir and I'm so grateful to the friends and families of those who have passed on from this life and donated benches for those of us who are still here to sit and pause for a while from the busyness of life.
