You are adding to Hard nut. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

  • My grandfather was a hard nut his whole life, ran the family farm in Devon alone after my grandmother passed in nineteen seventy-eight, raised four children without ever asking for help, and the only time we saw him cry was at the funeral of his collie dog Bess.
