Summer is coming!

It's almost summer! Warm, sunny, ice cream eating, swimming-weather, ice-cold drinks drinking, making trips with the bicycle, taking walks, cool and light-clothes wearing summer. It's my favourite season, for thousands of reasons (exaggerating here, because no one can name a thousand reasons for loving summer). In summer you swim, you eat ice cream, you drink cold drinks, you mae trips with the bicycle, you play outside, you make walks outside, you wear summery clothes, you tan, you make summery headers(or not), you sit on the swing doing nothing but thinking and singing, you write summery stories, you make a little review of Road To Avonlea. Well, that's what I was going to do. There will no spoilers for seasons we need to watch(there are some spoilers if you haven't seen it yet). It's a really lovely serie, with lots of great characters. Every episode is different, interesting and funny. Shall we begin with the characters? Yes, we shall.

Sara Stanley.

Sara is the main character in the serie(although sometimes it's about other characters more). She thinks up the funniest things to pay someone back for things they did to her. She is also an orphan and lives with her aunt Hetty King (Olivia was there too first, but she has her own house now). She and Felicity don't always come along, but they are good friends. Felix and Cecily are of course friends with her and so is almost everyone in Avonlea. She likes to help others and has a will of her own. She's very stubborn.

Felicity King.

Felicity likes household and school. She is good in them both. She loves novels and has a diary. She sometimes isn't nice to Sara or Cecily and always argues with Felix. She is the oldest and tries to protect her siblings from danger and being hurt. She's really nice actually, if you don't count the many times she argues about something completely nonsensical. She likes to be populair and has many friends. She helps her mother in the household.


Felix King and Gus Pike.

Felix King is mischievous, loves food, hates doing chores and going to school, always argues with Felcity, is good friends with Sara and Gus and is really funny. He sometimes is misunderstood. Gus Pike is calm , loves playing the violin, smart, looked after Sara when they both were captured(he made sure she escaped and didn't wait for him, but she didn't leave him alone of course). Hetty is very fond of him. He lives in the firehouse by himself. Captain Ezekiel Crane and the Kings are very good friends of him.


Cecily King.

Cecily doesn't like arguing, is always prepared to help and is very sweet and calm. She was the youngest King until Daniel came along.

Daniel King.

Well, he's still a baby, so I have nothing to say about him. In this picture he is older, not like in season 3.


Hetty King and Olivia King Dale.

Hetty is teacher, she likes rules and order, is not nice sometimes and loves Sara like a mother. She's very protective, sometimes too protective. Olivia is really kind, she loves her sister Hetty and Sara. She's a really nice character and understands Sara more than Hetty does, actually. Hetty is very funny(she and Felix are the two we laugh about most) but of course she doesn't try to be funny(Felix neither).


Alec and Janet King.

Janet is a mother cluck, she loves her children and husband and can get really nervous sometimes. She is good at cooking and doing the household but sometimes feels underappreciated. She stands up for herself when she has too, but mostly remains calm. Alec is...well, I actually don't know how to describe him. He's a good father, not only to his own children, but to others too. For example: Sara and Andrew are not his own children, but he loves them like a father anyway(They are relatives after all). He tries to settle things and is calm, calmer than Janet and Hetty mostly.

Andrew King.

He doesn't come around anymore, but he is kind and doesn't like to argue. He doesn't have a mother anymore and his father is always abroad. He tries to be with his father more often but his father usually barely takes notice of him and is always busy with work. Alec is more his father than his own father is. Strange, I know, but his own father is really almost always busy with work. He doesn't have time for his own son.

Peter Craig.

You don't see him often either. In the last episode we watched, he showed up again for the first time in season 3. He is a good boy, hard-working and honest. He loves his mother and sends her money so she stays alive. Felicity, Felix and William(that's a boy from Avonlea) teased him terribly and mean first, but they stopped and realized how wrong it was of them when Peter got really sick. He's the handyman of Hetty and gets food and a roof over his head in exchange for his hard work(and some money of course).


Jasper Dale.

Jasper is very kind, but awfully shy and he stutters. He loves Olivia and they even marry. He is a photographer for Olivia's newspaper and is a bit an eccentric man for a lot of the Avonlea towners. He is the one that makes Olivia laugh the most, and he likes inventing too. He is quickly hurt.


Muriel Stacey.

Yes, she appears in Road To Avonlea too. Hetty is jealous of her and thinks she's going to fire her or take over her school. But she is a friendly woman with other ways of teaching.

Marilla Cuthbert and Rachel Lynde.

Well, you all know about those two(I reviewed their characters in my Anne of Green Gables review). They appear in several episodes of Road To Avonlea too. Hetty is mad at Rachel Lynde first over a ''stolen'' boyfriend.


Those were Road To Avonlea main characters. If you haven't watched Road To Avonlea, you're missing a lot. It is really wonderful to see. You can lend the first two seasons in the library but the rest is onl available on the internet or you can buy them. No subtitles, only English spoken. That's how we watch it, even if we are Dutch. You can understand it perfectly well, only sometimes someone mumbles and you can't hear it then. But it's okay.
