🌟 A very special shoutout here to one of our recent visitors - Avril Abraham and her family:

Avril recently joined us to celebrate her 80th Birthday - and along with family and friends enjoyed a private function with a special Afternoon Tea party in the Threshing Barn πŸ«–

The very next day, Avril along with her grandson Caleb completed a skydive together! πŸͺ‚πŸͺ‚

This was in aid of raising funds for The Helen Clarke Suite, to enhance NHS services and bring care and comfort to women with breast cancer.

They both smashed this challenge and continue to fundraise for this incredible cause. From all the team here - Avril, you are a legend! πŸ’ͺπŸ’–

✨ Thank you for sharing these photos with us, it made our day! Here is the link to their page if anyone would like to read more about her story or contribute as well: https://swftcharity.enthuse.com/pf/avril-abraham
