Ed was 80 in June but is in such good health that he seems like a 60 year old. He says they had bacon and eggs and toast and pancakes, but that if you got up earlier than the breakfast was served, you could have fried speckled trout in the kitchen.
Added: Forgot the oatmeal. Ed added that the cook got drunk one night and simply didn't turn up to make the breakfast, but Ed knew how to cook. He also added that the cook threw axes into trees for entertainment. Oh, he got fired. That is, the cook.
