Comments on: Leeds Castle – The Aviary http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2011/02/12/leeds-castle-the-aviary/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:55:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Yvonne Ball http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2011/02/12/leeds-castle-the-aviary/comment-page-1/#comment-17968 Yvonne Ball Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:22:42 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=5261#comment-17968 Hi there, I work for a real estate agency in Oamaru and we have been donated one of your Father's pieces that he sculpted here a few years ago to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House South Island (a charatiy that provides a family type living environment for families staying by the hospital with children going through illnesses). I would like to include a blurb about your Dad and the piece but I am having difficultly finding out more about him, his life and his work. We are holding a charity auction and I would love to be able to honour your father during this process. I would be happy to send you photos and keep you in the loop as well. I look forward to your thoughts and hopefully your help. Thank you very much for your time. Kind regards, Yvonne Ball Hi there,

I always look in the guide to see what is available. I noticed it and they were quite surprised ;-) The local people didn’t know about the aviary or the maze either.
