Too early...

The Mad Hatter woke early, all excited... he got up, put on his favourite hat, and even though still in his pajamas he ran downstairs... ready to greet the first day of Spring... Wonderland was always so pretty during this season, with meadows full of flowers and birds singing in the trees... he rushed to the front door flinging it wide open ready to feel the gentle rays of sun beating down on his face, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath so that he could breathe in the warm Spring air....  Only to be met by pouring rain and a strong cold breeze... he paused, half way out of the door... looked at the clock hanging on the wall beside the door... then look again at the rain, which by now was starting to gather on the rim of his hat... he look again at the clock... Hmmmm... he thought to himself.... maybe he was too early... Spring may wake up later than he had hoped and expected... The Mad Hatter closed the front door and went to make a nice cup of warm tea while he waited...

Catching Winks...

Alice was taking a late afternoon walk along by the river. Alice always loved her walks there... it was so peaceful and quiet, she would just walk and watch the butterflies and dragonflies as they danced along the river edge. 

She would quite often start her walk alone, but always meet someone along the way who would share her walk with her.  I wonder who it would be today thought Alice... Just then she heard a rustling noise coming from the long grass a little further ahead, she went to investigate... all of a sudden The Mad Hatter jumped out of the long grass, he was holding a small net on a long pole. After recovering from the shock Alice asked what he was doing... he said he was looking for something, and wondered if Alice would help him.  Of course!!! said Alice, what are we looking for she asked...    Winks!!!  said The Mad Hatter, acting all excited... Alice looked at him confused... he went on to explain that The White Rabbit had said that he would often catch 40 Winks down by the river.... Alice had never seen a Wink, but they must be easy to catch she thought, especially if The White Rabbit often caught 40 of them... the two of them set off down the river path both looking for Winks...

Wonderland Snow Days...

Alice loved snow days in Wonderland it made everything even more magical... she remembered the first time she saw the snow there... It was a cold January morning, she could hear The Mad Hatter and The White Rabbit outside laughing and having fun... all of Wonderland was covered in a deep layer of snow... The White Rabbit wanted to go to The Great Forrest, Alice had agreed to join them.

They had all packed blankets, scarves and gloves to keep warm, The Mad Hatter had brought a flask of his favourite tea, and Alice and The White Rabbit made sandwiches full of cheese and honey.  The placed everything on to their sledges and headed for The Great Forrest... Alice loved the way the snow would gently float down out of the sky and land on The White Rabbits nose, making him sneeze...

Purple seas...

Alice loved warm summer days... the chance to just relax in the sun and watch the world go by... one of her new favourite spot to do exactly this was in a small meadow full of purple heather like flowers... She had found it just the other day while on a walk with the White Rabbit.  Everywhere was awash with purple, and laying down in the soft purple flowers made her feel like she was floating away on a purple sea...

A birds song...

Alice woke to the sound of the birds singing in the tree outside her window... she assumed they were singing to welcome a new day to Wonderland, but she was never quite sure what all the fuss or singing was about... Do birds sing to welcome in a new day, she thought to herself, or are they simple just talking to each other about simple things, like what to have for breakfast, and don't forget to put the cat out before going to work... although thinking about it, birds probably don't have cats as pets... Alice's mind started to wander with all the silly notions running through her head as she lay there in bed smiling at the funniness her mind had created....

Dragons Day...

Today was Dragons Day in Wonderland, it was a great day of celebration, everyone would gather in The Great Forest, they would come from all over Wonderland, bringing with them blankets to sit on, and food to eat. Alice loved this day very much, especially as the sun started to set, everyone would light candles and sit and tell tales of adventures and dragons... as far as Alice knew these stories weren't true, even though everyone pretended they were... it was fun, Alice loved to sit and listen as The Mad Hatter would recall another amazing adventure he once had...

Operation Fig Tree...

In the Garden of The White Rabbit grew a tiny little seedling, each morning The White Rabbit would water it, always looking after it, making sure that it would grow big and strong, he had no idea what it would grow in to,  he just knew that every few days it would get taller and taller, what once was tiny was now starting to reach the first floor window of his house...  He would wake excited to see how much further it would grow, and look forward to seeing what it would eventually grow into....  he so hoped it would be a giant fig tree with multi-coloured figs, each fig tasting of a different flavour... he's seen The Mad Hatter growing one last year, and longed to grown one in his garden also. The White Rabbit knew than no matter how it turned out he would love it just the same...
