When we moved in the house of my husbands childhood in 2008, there was a mirror at the back of the garden right by the fence. It looked very magical to me. I grew up with the Narnia books and often imagined that this mirror was a door to another place... Years later, in 2019 we acquired some land that the cemetery next door no longer needed. Originally it was the farm's apple orchard. So we opened that fence, the mirror was gone and a garden door was there and of course we planted new apple trees. This series is about the life with our children, our home, our paradise.
