Royal souvenirs. It takes all her spare time to keep everything clean and dusted. She is often playing

come, maily foreign visitors, never get tired of talking about Royal family. It is not always easy for Linda to
collect the thing she really wants. Once she was in a shop and the shopkeeper was drinking his tea from a

nearby and bought a very expensive mug and exchange it for his Coronation mug. She just wanted to put the
mug in its proper home.
