    Before my Mother (96) passed away, 18 months ago, she would ragail about your programme, telling me all about it, on one of our 'short' daily phone calls (of much over an hour😊)
    Having now found you, I'm in absolute agreeance!

      You could have had a very sweet little niche romantic film. Very repressed British.
      And we all would know what broke the spell, or not, and how you both found your eventual true loves.

    Im always so excited to see another video from you...makes my day. I ciuld personally necer do these long walks but they're great to watch. Im always surprised how few people you see along the way (or is that just careful editing?). I'm on my way to Egypt on Monday-a slightly different adventure ☺️

      Damn, only twice! That's me told. Although I wonder how many times she said it throughout the whole recording.
