I miss her blogging too. For about 15 years I have been interested in Kerala so have enjoyed your blog as to local insights. Hopefully I will actually get there this year for a visit. I am bit of an ancient/religious history buff but always enjoy tropical horticulture Stellamarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551588961821325742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277299736675734828.post-78465950699017717722020-06-21T20:03:31.552+05:302020-06-21T20:03:31.552+05:30The three "Boys" are currently 15, 12 an...The three "Boys" are currently 15, 12 and 45 years old :).
