You will first be surprised at how unique and delightful Anne's place is. If you didn't know that she's a master gardener, you could instantly tell just by sitting down on the expansive patio and looking around you. The stucco of the house makes you think of Provence. The large trees make you feel like you're far from the city. But you're not! You're a very short bike ride from the heart of Kitsilano. What a great place to be. But the lasting impression will be Anne herself. You'll quickly come to think of her as a great friend.
