They were planning to have the summer in the French Alps with another family, but they fell in love with the château’s ancient charm. #3 I was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland, and my parents moved through a series of rented villas and small hotels. My father’s lungs did not improve, and my mother’s health was delicate. They were not trying to get rid of me, but I knew that they loved me. #4 Hugh’s parents had a golden wedding anniversary on a street that has not changed.
