Saying that something is looking good when visiting Pa can be a death sentence for it as it often will be dug up and presented to you.  This time it was only dug up yesterday and has some root attached so it may survive.

I made the visit into a circular drive and dropped in on Paula too.   The road was quite empty and I enjoyed driving fast along the very familiar, bendy and narrow parts.  Emma has loaned me a collection of books as I like to have audio, e and physical.
