the labour

In this house which sits on hectares of land in a hidden valley, fruits of labour would taste so sweet that when you breathed in, the air had a hint of sugar to it.
Many hours would be spent eating books in the large wood panelled library where the tamarin monkeys would visit regularly being our most mischievous houseguests. The sound of the soft winds would comfort all that came.
Inside the library would stand 5 tall baobab trees and at night all guests would cocoon their bodies together using gigantic green rhubarb leaves sewn together by the local tailor birds.
