Doing the Coast to Coast in Style

Posted on January 5, 2025 by Purupuss

5 January 2025 Sorry, this is so late. I had 888 photos and video to go through, (and I still haven’t checked them all), which is why it’s taken me so long to update. We’ve been doing, not writing! According … Continue reading →
