My Elderly mum spoke excitedly about tracing the family tree back 300 odd years to Norfolk. Tracing further will require going to Norfolk in person. I offered to drive her there on my next holiday.

I’m not crazy about Charles, but if Trump does this, Charles has enough dignity to get through this visit and will burn trump in a way only the Brits can. I saw this quote and thought it apropos: “to put it in a particularly British way we are almost overcome with indifference”
