I missed a vital piece of information from my last entry.
On our way up to San Juan Capistrano on Amtrak, we heard an announcement about on-board catering arrangements. This was given in a very English voice so Harvey went off to investigate.
He found that the lady running the facility had been in California 26 years, having previously lived in Whitwell, Derbyshire. This is the next door village to Clowne, where Val & Harvey's dad was born and raised.
Two near misses in one week. Amazing.
