Dad (on the right) was Dr. Cox’s last patient before his retirement this month. Our parents were lucky to have a kind, nationally-known GP as their doctor all these years!

My brothers and sisters (Ireland, Wales, England) on What’s App just now (discussion below). Dad (turning 95 this month in ) is still planting his favourite varieties. I’m the only one of the parents’ eight kids who hasn’t successfully raised a row of potatoes, though I have had accidental luck with some that self-sprouted in the compost pile 👍🏼
