pace of breath to continue and with your breathing slow and steady I now want you to place your attention on your toes and imagine that there is a light switch for your toes right now it's switched on as it has been all day you're ready for bed now though so just turn that light switch off [Music] noticing how your toes relax move your attention to your feet and turn off the switch for your feet as well now turn off the switch for your lower legs your knees [Music] your thighs and then your buttocks and hips allowing everything below your waist to relax [Music] just pay attention and notice how your lower body feels now you've switched everything off [Music] Focus now on your abdomen and turn off the light switch there and then your chest your back [Music] your shoulders your arms your hands and fingers since the decrease of activity and the increase of relaxation in your upper body turn off the light switch for your neck and last of all your faiths and your head with every part of your body Switched Off you can truly sink into your bed and rest easily as we enjoy part two with the pocket family [Music] it's time for me to hand over to Simon once again as we witness the world from a much smaller perspective thank you the pockets are a family of four ma par and their children Matilda and Joe all of them are so small that they could fit inside a box of matches for years this tiny family lived hidden away in the back of a kitchen cupboard they lived here quite happily completely unnoticed by the elderly couple who owned the home [Music] but a few months ago everything changed [Music] the elderly couple packed up and left and only a short while later a new family arrived ready to make the house a home the new residents are called the granges and they're quite unlike the former elderly residents there's a mum in her 30s and a daughter of just five years old the pockets like the granges finding them to be a kind and quiet family to live with things are even better now that the Grangers are fully moved in with carpets laid throughout the house and every wall coated in fresh bright paint all of their boxes have long been unpacked and new homes found for each piece of furniture [Music] among these items is the pocket's new home the little girls dollhouse [Music] this is quite a step up for the family who had once slept in a tissue box to their eyes it's a mansion a home worthy of royalty and though the pockets are a bunch you could make the best of any situation life in the dollhouse really is a dream come true its three floors are connected by stairs and there's even a lift to the right of the building shroom is beautifully decorated and furnished including the main bedroom on the top floor sleep here now in a large double bed its white wooden frame sits at the center of the room on a carpet of creamy beige the mattress is covered with pale yellow bedding which matches the linen curtains these colors also complement the creamy white wallpaper which is decorated with a patterned border of buttercups and daisies it's a rather traditional room More Country Cottage than sleek and modern but it feels Airy and bright and as Fortune has it the decoration is just to Mars liking she often comments on how lucky they are to have found such a home it's almost as if the rooms were designed for her [Music] what par likes best of all though is the bed it's warm and cozy with dates that smell like fresh spring flowers [Music] and then there's its ample size to the tiny pockets the bed is a king-sized Paradise of soft velvety comfort [Music] it's so comfortable in fact that Marin Parr wake up smiling just as they have done every morning since moving this morning after waking up they exchange warm and cheery greetings then they both step out of bed stretch and yawn in perfect unison next they make their way across the top floor heading towards the bedrooms of their son and daughter ma goes to wake Matilda with sound asleep in a bedroom of Pinks and purples next door Parr finds Joe who's awake and smiling beside his neatly made bed Joe isn't known to be the tidiest of the pockets he usually needs a few reminders before he eventually makes his bed on any other day par might have been surprised to see Joe's bed looking so neat and tidy this morning however par isn't so surprised because everyone knows that Joe loves an adventure today the whole family have an adventure ahead of them they made the plans for this adventure of fortnight ago early one morning before the humans were awake Parr and Joe were out exploring at one point they came to rest on the kitchen windowsill the sun was Rising Illuminating the back Garden one inch at a time so par and Joe sat down together to take in The View just as they had done many times before but as they were basking in the glow of warm sunlight they noticed that something was different cool air was wafting towards them from a gap in the paneled window Parr had already known that the windows were new they'd been installed just a few days ago by the Grangers helpful friends [Music] but it was only now sitting on the sill that pal realized what the new windows could do they could be locked securely into place while leaving a gap about an inch wide for humans like the Grangers this meant the luxury of a cool breeze even through their locked windows but for tiny people like the pockets this meant so much more that inch of space would allow them to leave and return to the house for the first time in their lives the pockets could explore the garden ever since this discovery the family have been preparing for their Grand Day Out the children have been studying learning all they can about the outside world Joe has watched countless shows on the massive TV screen in the living room turns it on himself dancing across the buttons of the large rectangular remote and once he finds a channel he likes he sinks back into the comfy leather sofa it often stays for hours watching One nature program after another as if he were in his own private Cinema [Music] Matilda on the other hand prefers to read and luckily for her there are lots of books to learn from the Granger child is also fascinated by Nature whether it's plants or flowers birds or butterflies and she has every kind of book lined up on her shelves and piled beside her bed Matilda reads them when the girl is out at school she walks over the vast Pages taking in the words and bright colorful pictures sometimes she takes notes recording useful facts about the outdoors and even copying the illustrations their parents have attended to more practical matters Parr has spent his evenings sharpening toothpicks ensuring the family's walking sticks are in Tip-Top condition he's gone through each person's backpack checking their inventory and testing their equipment most important of all are the climbing ropes a combination of knotted string safety pins and picture hooks the ropes have received special attention being knotted and re-knotted double and triple checked after all the ropes will be used to climb up and down the wall outside their key to the whole operation Ma has been just as busy sewing and mending various items of clothes she's particularly proud of the family's waterproof ponchos having pieced them together from scraps of plastic bags but they're unlikely to need them according to the weather forecast the human on the big screen has predicted day-long sunshine but the family will definitely need however is what Ma has been working on in the kitchen [Music] she's been saving and storing all kinds of food items delicious morsels of leftovers then in the last few days she's been cooking and baking to her heart's content and now it's ready the most scrumptious picnic Feast you could ever imagine but right now family have breakfast on their minds on their way down to the kitchen Joe and Matilda pass through the elegant dining room and admire the fireplace the family loved this spot because even though the fire is plastic it has the effects of a real fire through the magic of batteries orange Flames flicker across its surface the fireplace crackles and Pops mimicking the sounds of wooden logs burning after enjoying the sights and sounds of the fireplace Joe and Matilda joined their parents in the kitchen the family sit together dining on a meal of golden buttery toast crumbs topped with gooey strawberry jam they wash it down with freshly squeezed orange juice which is wonderfully sweet and citrusy the pockets are all thankful for another delicious meal courtesy of the humans and the morsels they leave behind then everyone gets ready to go they all dress in their most practical clothes and rub protective Sun cream over any Exposed Skin next they put on their backpacks complete with climbing ropes walking sticks and picnic food for later and in no time at all they're climbing into the Glamorous pink doll car which is parked beside the house this is perhaps the greatest perk of living in the dollhouse the car works by remote control allowing the family to travel everywhere Journeys that previously took hours now take only minutes and better still with Matilda on the controls a ride in the car can be smooth and relaxing it's a lovely way to travel now the pockets are sailing across the glossy wooden floorboards of the living room as they drive in comfortable silence they gaze at their surroundings and enjoy the sensation of the cool air on their faces [Music] soon they cross the living room and reach the fluffy hallway carpet then the family drive out onto the smooth flooring of the Granger's kitchen after parking the car beneath the table the pockets continue their Journey on foot with their trusty climbing ropes they scale the kitchen cupboards and climb onto the shiny marble countertops soon they're on the windowsill standing side by side the family look out at the view together their eyes wide with Wonder in the back Garden there's an average sized lawn rectangular in shape bordered by rose bushes the garden is enclosed by a tall wooden fence and Beyond the lawn is a shed both the fence panels and the shed have recently been painted they've been lovingly restored in a striking chestnut red the only other change is the new fountain at the center of the garden brought here by the Grangers for the tiny pocket family this is no ordinary Garden something infinitely larger and more wonderful shed is like a chestnut red Citadel miles of emerald lawn stretch out before it and beside the greenery is an enchanted forest of ruby-like blooms and right at the center of the lawn is the main attraction a fountain [Music] from the pocket's perspective it's truly a Wonder a colossal series of gushing waterfalls as wide as Victoria Falls water Cascades from a giant sky-high pineapple at the top of the ivory fountain it flows down into a huge marble basin and then spills over into an even larger pool below all the while the soothing sound of running water fills the air the pockets are listening to the Fountain now through the Gap in the window they can feel the breeze too which carries the sweet fragrance of roses par is the first to step forward securing his rope to the frame of the window [Music] then with a bright and beaming smile he exits through the gap disappearing from view as he descends [Music] the rest of the family follow climbing down the wall until they've all landed on the stone floor from the kitchen windowsill their view of the garden had been partly obscured family had expected to find grass beneath the window so it's a lovely surprise to land on the sand colored patio instead stone is especially beautiful now as it sparkles in the bright morning sunlight [Music] like tourists strolling across some distant Shoreline the family began to cross the golden patio they can feel the warmth of the sun on the skin and with each step they're brought closer to the sound of the fountains ever flowing water as they approached the lawn its true size is revealed the grass was cut only yesterday and still carries the smell of freshly may even so the blades of grass Tower above the pockets the family paws at the edge of the patio Gathering their toothpicks from their backpacks then onwards they walk using their sticks to Traverse the ground ahead as they take their first steps across the lawn they notice that the soil is moist from the Fresh morning dew it feels soft and comfortable underfoot the Family Walk In single file and are careful to stay together but while the lawn feels like a jungle to the pockets there's enough space between each blade of grass to allow them to pass through easily [Music] ha walks at the front with Joe and Matilda following and Mar at the rear there's such a happy bunch of hikers humming and singing as they go and as it's their first family experience of the outdoors children are Keen to share their nature related facts they tell their parents everything they know about flowers and trees birds and insects when the pockets aren't singing or talking they walk on in Easy silence exploring the garden with their senses they bask in the aroma of freshly cut grass and the scent of fresh sweet roses and they listen to the birds singing thinking it's the most beautiful sound they've ever heard [Music] the grass itself is equally lovely more so with each passing moment as the sun rises higher in the sky more of the lawn is bathed in sunlight each blade glistens and glimmers as it sways in the breeze the lawn resembles a gem-filled treasure chest soon the pockets catch sight of red among the green as the Roses come into view blurred by the scent of sweet flowers par has led the family to one of the rose beds [Music] he didn't intend to come here first he's delighted to be here the sprawling bushes are a sight to behold an enchanted forest full of sweet smelling Magic the rose blooms are like layered velvet cups in vibrant Ruby Reds from root to bloom the plants twist upwards forming a beautiful canopy of leaves and Blossoms it's nearing midday when the family grow hungry they decide to eat their picnic on the Petals of a flower it's a rose that dangles above the lawn like the pendant of a necklace par goes first throwing his rope up towards the bloom once he secured its hook on a thorn he begins to climb soon the whole family have settled down on the rose petal only ma knows exactly what is included in the picnic but as each tin foil packet is opened the efforts of her labors are gradually revealed there's a multitude of cheese sandwiches each cut into neat golden triangles a favorite among the pockets these are the first things to be eaten next a tiny skewers of tomato pepper onion and asparagus there's also a creamy potato salad slices of salted egg yolk and a cheese and onion quiche everything is beautifully cooked and seasoned and it's the perfect food to be eaten Outdoors as spring turns to Summer the Granger family have been enjoying a broader and more colorful diet and now that she's settled in the mother seems Keen to try out her new kitchen she's proving to be quite the chef the morsels that drop from the table are the perfect size for the Tiny Family living nearby to wash down this delicious picnic food the pockets sip on purple grape juice and for dessert Ma has transformed the crumbs of a snack bar into a scrumptious chocolate mousse the family eat in happy silence The Petal beneath them is so comfortable smooth and velvety it also offers a wonderful view of the garden shed Towers High into the sky like a chestnut red Palace and water spills down the stunning Ivory fountain from the flower the pockets can see the water in the fountain's lower basin stretches out before them like a massive Lake glistening in the sunlight water falls from above foaming as it hits the surface bubbles spread across the basin carried Along by endless Rippling waves [Music] to the pockets who have never glimpsed the ocean the view is simply breathtaking and though the water is some distance ahead they can hear it clearly the sound is like nothing they've ever experienced they all close their eyes and simply listen to the water and the birds and all the sounds of nature in the garden like sunbathers relaxing on the shore family enjoy the warmth of the sunny day they can smell the sun cream and the rose is sweet perfume which wraps around them like a blanket the flower sways in the gentle breeze rocking back and forth like a baby's cradle eventually the pockets are lulled to sleep the family are the picture of contentment napping within the rose bloom Joe and Matilda Smile as they sleep while ma snores in happy slumber now and then par mumbles and Chuckles amused by something deep within a dream sometime later when power stirs on The Petal he isn't quite sure whether he is dreaming or awake flying nearby is the most beautiful creature that he has ever seen a gorgeous sky blue butterfly one by one the rest of the family wake up roused by the sound of wings gently flapping they sit up and stare curiously as the butterfly comes to rest on a nearby bloom the pockets of seen butterflies before from behind the glass of the kitchen window and they've seen them on the screen too in nature shows but none of this compares to the sight and size of the creature before them perfectly symmetrical it's upper and lower wings are the loveliest shade of azure blue around the edges is a border of cloud-like white thin black lines run throughout its wings which are so delicate that it's almost as if they've been drawn on [Music] they're like the veins of a leaf hidden beneath the blue [Music] at the center of its wings the butterfly's body is an equally vibrant blue and it's furry too like a plush sky-colored sofa on its head 2 and 10i point upwards in a V shape they're just as delicate as the black lines on its wings [Music] the family watched the butterfly in silence for a moment then Matilda takes out her notebook and turns to a page displaying many sketches of butterflies she reads aloud explaining that this is a male butterfly an Adonis blue known for its striking color according to her notes it's a fairly small variety of course the butterfly doesn't look small to the tiny pocket family especially not as it takes flight once more gliding towards the flower where they're sitting the butterfly lands gracefully resting its feet on the layered petals then it begins to drink slowly using its tongue like a straw to suck up the flower's nectar family watch in all struck silence only a petal away from where the butterfly drinks finally this gorgeous creature finishes its meal the family expect the butterfly to take flight soaring through the skies in search of more nectar but instead the creature comes to rest on The Petal where the pockets are sitting and what happens next is stranger still it seems to look towards the Tiny Family acknowledging their presence with a nod of its head then it lowers itself even further as if inviting the family to climb on its back Joe and Matilda need no further encouragement with their backpack secured they take a seat at the front of its body Ma and Par followed behind them a little more cautiously than their children but although they're unsure at first these thoughts soon fade away as they settle down on the butterfly's soft fur a feeling of comfort and safety washes over them the creature seems to wait until everyone is settled then claps its Wings slowly and gracefully and rises from the rose petal it flies around the garden sailing through the sky with elegance and ease for the pockets this is a most Pleasant and relaxing ride waves of fresh air roll over them the breeze feels delightfully Cooling in the afternoon sun but best of all are the views from above as the butterfly soars higher the pocket family begin to see the world as a human might first they have a view of the garden and the house [Music] and then the neighboring buildings [Music] soon see the whole street it's lined with red brick buildings on both sides house has a driveway at its front and cars in various bright colors the back each residence has its own garden separated by fence panels all are different in shape and Design except for the fact that they are bursting with color truly magical experience for the pockets to see the world from a whole new perspective [Music] as the butterfly Glides through the air Joe finds himself thinking out loud he wonders whether there are other tiny people just like them hidden within the Homes and Gardens of their neighbors ma Chuckles there might be other tiny people she says but none quite like them the family laugh heartily [Music] slowly the butterfly returns to the garden and begins flying around the fountain its movements are graceful maintaining its height it flies just below the top of the fountain a water spills out from the giant Stone pineapple like tourists on a sightseeing flight the pockets point at the nearby waterfalls as wonderful as they'd seemed from afar the views close up are even better from here the pockets can see the cloud-like Mist that rises above the fountain top [Music] they notice the whiteness of the water as it Cascades downwards flowing into the upper basin more than anything can hear even feel the water sound of its rumbling vibrates through their bodies leading to a sense that they are somehow connected not only to the water but to Nature overall the pockets smile filled with wonder as the butterfly Glides downwards comes to rest on the edge of the lower basin and allows the family to step off onto the ivory Stone the children stroke its soft blue fur as if it were a beloved family pet just as before the butterfly seems to not in acknowledgment then flies away disappearing into a sky as blue as its wings of course the family had intended to visit the fountain's lower basin they just didn't expect their journey to be quite so effortless setting down their backpacks the children get ready to swim then they climb off the edge lowering themselves into the lovely cool water Mar and Parr removed their shoes and socks and pull up their trousers then they sit beside the water allowing their feet to dangle in [Music] the pool is just the right temperature especially now with the sun Burning Brightly [Music] relaxing on the side ma sips on leftover fruit juice it's the perfect drink for lounging by the pool she watches the children as they swim the skill they learned in the kitchen sink and she laughs merrily as they play and splash their grinning faces bobbing above the surface [Music] it lightens her heart to see them so happy [Music] par watches too though it isn't long before he's reaching for his backpack he takes out a pencil and a large cream sketch pad resting it on his knee he begins to draw he traces the outline of the water's surface curving his pencil around its waves and ripples next he adds shade darker in some places and lighter in others capturing the sunlight as it dances on the water finally in the distance he draws the ivory stone at the fountain Center it's beautifully masked by a veil of frothy waterfall par loves to draw he finds it soothing and relaxing drawing allows him to preserve a special moment long after that moment has passed par is Keen to treasure the memory of this special day even as he puts the finishing touches to his drawing he knows exactly where it will go when the family return home he'll hang it in the dining room above the plastic fireplace that the family loves so much [Music] each morning as they eat their breakfast they can look at the picture and remember this moment [Music] not par doesn't yet know as he sits by the water is that there are many more special moments ahead thanks to that Gap in the kitchen window this day trip around the garden just the first of many from now on whenever they like the pockets can walk through the emerald grassland and swim beneath the fountain's waterfall they can take a picnic on the Petals of a rose and make an even fall asleep in that sweet smelling flower dreaming of the day's Adventures [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
