A possibility not yet mentioned re Home Farm is that Gill is a common surname in north India and the Midlands has a significant population with south Asian heritage….
Although I think someone already known being the buyer is more likely.
Has it really been sold? Will they get it rented back to them? Surely a friend wouldn’t do that to them? Hope it is Matt Crawford, Titchynob, Daddy Fairchild, Heather Woolley, Richard Locke, Nigel Horrobin…….
By the way, surely Kate would have some idea that her parents are moving house. Is there a phone sevice or internet in South Africa or could she channel it through her chacras?
