Liverpool's Festival Gardens...
It was specially commissioned for the International Garden Festival four years before I was born, and was the centrepiece of the city's early regeneration efforts.
While I was dancing around my bedroom in South Wales to The Spice Girls in 1997, it fell into disrepair and was abandoned.
But then, those who loved the area and didn't want them to continue building houses and various other leisure pursuits on the land, set about restoring it again ten years later.
Here it is now (as I found it)...
'Look what I've found!'
A tiny house on a little stand...
...with a cool hut looking out onto a pond!
It's a Japanese garden!
...and it's very beautiful.
And, guess what?
Since I've been here...
I've grown a bit!
Or not. Nevermind...
Wanna see something that is amazing, though?
...
I can't believe that this is behind my house!
'If only I was taller'
Just a little bit taller...
I'd be on top of that roof, finishing this blog post in style.
