We arrived at Avril’s place at short notice during a pretty difficult time for our family. Avril was so welcoming and kind, especially with our kids, that it really eased the trouble we were going through. She spent hours with the kids playing and took them on a walk to the duck pond. My toddler said as we were driving back one day, “I LOVE Avril’s house!” I’m not surprised: the garden is a truly magical place. Avril always made us feel welcome in her home.
