The Original Tea Room

Second try to post a response.

Hi SHeila, Glad you and Rob could take the time to help these folks in Wales. God bless. If I remember, they are elderly folks and just north of Llanelli.

Good to have you back with us. I was out this morning and having a gander at my new planting of snapdragons. They are just coming to flower now.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Hi Sheila,

Glad I could remember that little thing, considering I have trouble remembering what day it is.

It is quite hot here and very humid. One is soaked through just going outdoors. We have air conditioning in the living room and the dogs love it. I hate to see them panting so badly with the heat, and in there, they don't pant at all.

The deer here have been enjoying the garden, but I think we have them stopped now. Used old cd discs on a wire strethed around the garden. It is supposed to fend off the animals. We shall see. I was watching an old onion plant that was up almost 4 feet high....they chose to chomp off the top of it!!!!! Maybe I should have grown leek..........:laugh:

Cheers,

Jim

 

:wavey: Hello Sheila and Jim!:wavey:

Would the animals stay away from leeks more than the onion? They are very similar aren't they?

After a break of about 9 years I've recently resubscribed to "British Heritage" magazine. I'm enjoying just as much as before!
I've also recently resubscribed to a magazine called "American History" (formerly "American History Illustrated").
I've got some interesting reading when I snatch a minute here and there to do it.

 

Gayla, leek is the national symbol of Wales..nothing like a bowl of cawl cennin. Every schoolboy must consume a raw leek before he can graduate...it is much stronger than any onion.

We have some leek growing in our front woods, but daughter beats me to it every year.

Sounds like you have some very good reading material. About the only thing British I get anymore is a weekly rag (newspaper) which is published expressly for expats. Then, of course, I do have many relatives and we bring one or two over every year. I doubt if I will ever go over again. Mary and daughters went last year to England and Scotland. I am doing well to drive to Syracuse to pick up granddaughters at the airport....3 hour drive one-way.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I'll leave the Purple People Bridge Clim b to others, thank you.

 

It's not my cuppa either, Gayla....I'll settle for the photographs of those others climbing....:wavey:

Cheers,

Jim

 

Hi!!:wavey: :wavey: :type: :type:

 

This dream seemed thundering. People actually came here! I am aghast! Welcome.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Hi Sheila,

Oh, I am still about, just not about as I once was.

Glad the new computer is working out. It always takes time to get used to them. Shortly you wonder how you managed with the old one.

Busy working around at home and at the other house. Take care. We still have one more tree to cut up and cart off. I found a chap who will cut it up and take the brush and firewood away.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Rather swish??????
What does that mean?

 

Wow - I just noticed this little place is stirring! Good to see everyone.

We have not really stopped since our trip to the States in May. I have have had so little time for foruming. At one time I was posting 20+ posts a day here I am lucky to get 2-3 a day now, and most of those are in a moderating role. I have done even less in other fora I used to frequent.

God is really at work here - we have had our highest attendances in years in our services. Two weeks ago we had our second hughest attendance ever. We have had 15 first time visitors in our services in the last couple of weeks and a couple of Christian families are praying about joining with us.

Right now we are all busy with the wedding of Polish couple this Thursday. This should be a fun week.

We are going to Pembrokeshire in Wales for a couple of days next week - looking forward to the mini-break.

Trust everyone is well!

 

God Bless your great news and may he continue to abound in your ministry... :thumbs:

 

Those of us who appreciate what Ireland is all about truly appreciate what CK is saying here. God bless the labours of His servants.

Fashionable is it, Sheila. Wonderful. Glad you are enjoying your new computer.

We have had our fun with storms, gale force winds and huge trees falling, including the one that fell on our village house. Procrastination saved the day. The telly tower I have been taking down since three years ago, caught the tree and gently let it down on the roof with minimal damage.

Otherwise, all is well. Staying warm, but raining heavy tonight, and we sure need that.

Cheers,

Jim
