Local residents Ann and Pete Morgan are enchanted by all things British: the country’s history, monarchy, customs and traditions. It’s no wonder that one of their favorite pastimes is watching shows like “Downton Abbey” on PBS or “The Crown” on Netflix.
The Morgans had taken two trips to England, and in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary this year they took a third. This time they explored the English countryside with an overnight stay in Scotland.
