Possibly the best thing here is the lush gardens and sweet spots that surround The Retreat. Beautifully done by Anne Maertens there are many great places here to drink in the beauty of nature anytime. Spend a little quiet time with someone special in this rowboat watching the Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky, as you sip wine in the candle light at sunset.

 

Catch up with an old friend for a long talk in the rose covered trellis next to the lilly pond in the moonlight. 

Perhaps you and a few friends would like to get together to hang out around the fire as you wind down, discussing the days events.

 

Maybe a little time alone is in order to clear your mind, lounging in the pergola watching the breeze blow through the Wysteria while you ponder the meaning of life.



Steal your love away and surprise them with a romantic picnic at the waters edge.The perfect place to stage a memorable evening or proposal even.

This is just a little of what you will see at The Retreat. I invite you to come and explore the gardens at The Retreat and take in the breathtaking views all around. An excellent place to hang out relishing all that nature has to offer and also since you can rez here makes a great place to take pics. (we only ask that you clean up after yourself of course).

Ty for reading and hope to see you around The Retreat sometime enjoying these lovely gardens.!!

Bloody Valentine Horror Show 2012

Imagine you have a old friend that moved away, and before you knew it the years had passed and you have now received an invitation to their wedding. You prepare to make the big trip that you had not managed to in years. Then days before the weddings you get a mysterious message from your friend that simply says "Please don't come". Unable to get your friend to respond, and having made all the arrangements for the trip, you set off confused and concerned to find out what happened to your friend. Arriving in Boundary Town your adventure begins.

The Bloody Valentine Horror Show 2012  is an interactive journey where you pick up a hud and navigate your way though Boundary Town collecting pages of your friends diary to make some sense of the sudden change in plans. As you collect the pages some interesting things will happen. After collecting all the pages you finally make it to the church but the adventure is not over yet.

 

From there you are taken away to "That Side". That Side is the same as Boundary Town but something is a little different... You go through the streets , helping the residents and your friend hoping for a happy ending. For those that take the journey and complete it there are some gifts at the end. One for men and one for women.

This event runs through March 10th and also features a great Bloody Valentines Market with lots of great goodies from some awesome SL designers, valentines themed, with great couples items as well. To see more about the market ... check here.

This was a lot of fun and really neat, there are surprises and twist around every corner, so get out there and don't miss out on this unique experience.
