Description

This bonus episode finds Patsi back in conversation with Hugh Raymond Mitford, descendant squire of the celebrated Mitford dynasty of Northumberland. With personal insight and humour, Hugh casts light on the life of the eldest Mitford sister, Nancy. Famed novelist of works such as 'Love In A Cold Climate', Nancy also exposed one of the strangest Franco-British incidents of the 20th century - decades before the EU project or Brexit. Hugh reveals how his famous ancestor published the bizarre débacle of Îles Minquiers, at the same time reflecting on Nancy Mitford's character, and career. Recorded on the iconic boardwalk of Promenade des Anglais in Nice, where Hugh has lived for decades.
