I visited the Hat shop 2 years ago. I concur….they were very kind. I’m from Canada and was clearly not in the shop to purchase a hat! I saw 2 Royal Warrants. One was from The Duke of Edinburgh and beside that The Prince of Wales. The museum area at the back was fascinating!
PS: I have your second book pre-ordered on Amazon.ca. Anxiously waiting….

Just wanted to let you know I just completed your London puzzle. Thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Many lovely memories of visits to the sites. Hopefully there will be more puzzles to come in the future.

You do unearth remarkable stories. This is an absolute gem. I should imagine that burning off the paint on the front door in order to recoat would be a toxic hazard of unique proportions…
