Marcia, Tom and Alex are a wonderful family and Tom is pretty much as I expected after reading his blog for 1.5 years. I’m happy he was wearing sturdy leather boots so I didn’t have to look at his healed (I think) snake-bit toe. Aside from falling off the ladder the day before my visit he was getting around well. We got the grand tour of the restaurant and cabins after Marcia fixed a scrumptious meal. The ice cream was heavenly. I’m happy to know now where Tom lives so if there is ever another long period of blog silence I’ll be able to check up on the crazy Brit. Tom, if my trip had been scheduled one week later I could have brought you gaskets for that generator of yours! My mother, who was caretaker of the fig tree for about a week, will be very pleased to see it is doing so well. We thought it was a goner. Looking forward to fossil hunting with Dominic next month!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601358768671897030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-39987261113894036432014-03-04T17:24:39.856+01:002014-03-04T17:24:39.856+01:00Ah, the Silver Fox lives!
