Too much of a trek for the Duchess given the lack of non-stop flights. So, she'll make do with our visits. Fortunately, she's been here on her own, so is familiar with much of what I share.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-73016727786433421272013-11-17T13:51:38.370+01:002013-11-17T13:51:38.370+01:00Walt the Fourth:
