WHILE house sitting at my daughter's and son-in-law's house in Blackburn, the phone rang and a voice said: "This is from the Enchanted Garden."

I said: "Who?" and the man repeated the message.

I put the phone down and thought it was someone having a joke.

Half an hour later, a beautiful bouquet arrived for me from my daughter and son-in-law for house sitting for them.

Guess where the flowers came from? -- from a florist's called the Enchanted Garden.

I was feeling sad and lonely and when the man handed me the bouquet and said: "These are for you from the Enchanted Garden, I suddenly thought that the whole world was a better place.
