I like your emails and read them most weeks sometimes even the week they arrive sometimes the next week, all depends on how busy I am with other aspects of my life.

Ps old is only as old as you feel, which probably means really old when you have been busy and not so old when well rested.

Yes, sweet potatoes sounds like a good idea but they need heat during their formative growth, in a greenhouse. I read that they need a long warm growing season but it says here that it can be done. https://www.rhs.org.uk/vegetables/sweet-potatoes/grow-your-own

Do you include sweet potatoes in your potager? I find they are incredibly simple to grow, produce a large amount of healthy/tasty bits to munch on, store well, and score high on the cool factor...

Also...a 50-meter swimming pool in the area - hmm...

Ahhh! I made a note somewhere to definitely grow sweet potatoes this year. I think I have a little space I could squeeze some in to!

50 meter pool? You have a lake! :D

A lake...true (several, in fact...and rivers too), but none of them are transportable to your location if I come for a visit 😎😀
