This is so fabulous, Margaret. Thanks for posting this remarkable conversation. I hope you don't mind, I posted it over on my blog with a link to your blog as well as the BBC.

Thanks very much. Note that my name is Elizabeth (not to be confused with my sister Margaret).

Oh, forgive me, Elizabeth. This happens to me now and then. I blame my geezer-hood. Hope you and your family (all names included) have a great holiday! :)
