Step 1: An unnexpected inheritance


At the end of january I got a very surprising visit. A notary came over to my small london flat to tell me that the uncle of the aunt of the third cousin by marriage of my mother deceased and had no other living heir except me. So I get his manor on the countryside! Needless to say this is a dream coming true! I pack my things and immediately travel to the place, to discover "my" new property.

Step 2: Welcome to DollManor

It was a big building, cold and sinister, lost in the middle of some fields. I'm sure it used to be a beautiful manson once, but with the savaged garden, the squeaking doors an the wind howling in the hallways, this seemed like an old haunted house. But the worst part was actually Mrs Winters, my uncle's governess. A sour woman with pale skin and a gaze that could freeze your blood. Even if having a manor was always my dream (living in a castle like a princess), I had to face the reality: The maintenance of such an abode is prohibitively expensive. I could never afford it wih my small florist salary, so I decided to sell the manor.

Step 3: Never ending winter

Three weeks already since the manor is for sale and there were only very few visits. I even hired Stefano Piazza, the famous estate agent from TV who could sell the worst ruins in just a few days. I strolled around in the snowy alley when suddenly I realised that it's already march 23th! Spring should have come long time ago, but there is no trace of young buds or even birds who would sing in the trees. So I decided to follow Mr Piazza's advice and do my best to fix this manor up, so people would be more interested in buying it.

Step 4: Winter garden

First step: The winter garden. It was gorgeous! Beautiful art nouveau windows and marble plates on the floor. As a florist, it can't be that difficult to refurbish a veranda after all! I bought some seeds at the marketplace from the next village with some bags with garden mold and started my work! As I cleaned the marble plates, I discovered a hidden trapdoor, revealing an underground corridor when I opened it with all my strenght. Curious by nature, I decided to check where it leads.

Step 5: The underground

Surprisingly it was neither cold nor moist down here, although it was pretty dark. Illuminating the corridor with my smartphone, I could see roots growing down on either side of the hallway. They seemed half frozen though, very strange... I picked up a little, very old looking key from the ground and eventually entered a big room that was illuminated by thousands of fireflies! On the other end was an antique tapestry representing fairies and nature. It was beautiful. Suddenly I heard a small voice behind me "Help us! Save us!" There were three cages, each of which contained a small fairy. I hesitated for a moment, but then decided that such tiny creatures can not be evil and thus I let them out. The three fairies thanked me and explained that they have been captured by the big Spring Fairy who has been captured herself by an evil witch who's responsible for the eternal winter on the property.

Step 6: The Mausoleum

The fairies brought me to the other side of the tunnel and told me that they could not follow me above the undergrounds, but there was a mausoleum in the garden that could be opened with the key I had found. Then the big Spring Fairy would be liberated. Crawling back up through the roots, I landed in a beautiful garden with blooming white flowers and ice crystals that reflected the daylight, painting little rainbows. At the end of a small alley lied the mausoleum, covered in brambles. Luckily I had kept my garden gloves on, so getting to the entrance and clearing the key hole wasnt't all too painful. I unlocked the heavy door and it flipped open with a strong air draft. Suddenly there were footsteps behind me. I turned around and looked at Mrs Winters furious gaze. "Why did you do this?" She explained to me that she could only survive in cold climate because she was allergic to pollen and that spring was true hell for her. And in a snowy wind she disappeared, probably travelling to the North Pole.

Step 7: Much awaited resurgence


As soon as the witch disappeared, the Spring Fairy appeared in front of me. "Thank you for setting me free. I have been locked in this mausoleum for many years now. As a reward for your help, dovahkiin, I will transform this garden into the garden of your dreams? Ready?" She made a magical move with her hand and the garden started to transform itself. The snow melted, the ice disappeared, the sky opened up and golden sunlight dropped on young blades of grass and delicate buds. I wanted to thank the fairy but she already disappeared in the nature. The manor has been sold only a few days later. And with the money I got from it, I opened my own flower shop!
