Don’t give up!
I was reminded of our visit to the Wordsworth Museum and Dove Cottage. My husband and I loved it but our daughter wrote a very large "BORING" in the book at the exit and included her name and address. I had to laugh. I'll send her your lovely film. She's older and wiser now.
Thanks to Lynn Bennett for this very informative talk on taxes.
