That is wonderful.

Wow. That's fabulous, John. We planted this magnolia in our garden a few weeks ago in memory of my dad. I hope it grows as much over the next decade.

Thanks for the tip, Iain. Hoping to get to NY at some point after 2028, so will visit when I'm there. Love bookshops!

Wow. That looks delicious. Enjoy!

Stay safe, Martin. Still very blowy down south (West Cork).

I couldn't care less how "dull" he might be as long as he can sort out issues that need sorting.
