Brigid and June are still in England, after the sudden and shocking death of <a href=\"http:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/folly\/2014\/04\/brigids-sister-kate-dent.html\" target=\"_self\">Brigid&#8217;s sister (June&#8217;s Aunt) Kate<\/a>. On Monday the 28th the weather was good, so I took Alex up to Sugarloaf. I must say, it&#8217;s tough to give away 42 years to a 20 year old, who played wing in rugby and does &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tough_Mudder\" target=\"_self\">Tough Mudder<\/a>&#8221; races. I couldn&#8217;t keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, here he is &#8211; and I do love the Sugarloaf hike and view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a73dbaa7c1970d-500wi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11892\" title=\"Alex\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a73dbaa7c1970d-500wi.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a73dbaa7c1970d-500wi-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a511af7384970c-500wi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11893\" title=\"P1110085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a511af7384970c-500wi.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a511af7384970c-500wi-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a73dbaa8f0970d-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e201a73dbaa8f0970d-500wi\" alt=\"Alex sugarloaf tree\" title=\"Alex sugarloaf tree\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had dinner tonight at Memphis Mae&#8217;s in Croton.
