The Remote Islands of Britain

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Stormy air, stormy land, stormy waters cause me to consider how self-sufficient the remote isles-ers can be.

Is it possible for remote isles-ers to drink juices and milks because of their own fruit-growing and livestock-raising and to eat meats and vegetables because of their own livestock-raising and vegetable-growing?

Is it possible for remote isles-ers to make desserts -- ice cream and pastries -- and special alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks with the grains and the grasses that they have there?

The Gathering Tide: a review

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Cumberland and Northumberland border the Scottish counties of Dumfriesshire, Roxburghshire and Berwickshire.

Does the aforementioned quintet similarize one another culturally?

The English Meadow

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Sheep eating seaweed in Orkney isles appeals to me.

Does that seaweed leave green stains around their mouths or on their fleece and hooves?

Review of Paul: a biography

Jewish believers accept a Jewish Messiah even as they are not in agreement as to when or where.

Is it within Christian tradition that there may be a Jewish Messiah for Jewish people or might that Messiah role only be filled by Jesus Christ because He works as Messiah for all, gentiles and jewish peoples and non-gentiles and non-Jewish peoples?

Late Winter in the Garden

Three comment boxes down you count among "supplemented natural soil enhancers" leaf mould, manure and seaweed.

Does compost figure with the same standing as the aforementioned trio?

Key Ideas in Catholicism

The Church also does well in the missions that are available, whereby one contributes to making a difference, such as through the food that thanks the "haves" with nice fundraising fish tries and that works with the "have nots" through food pantries and soup kitchens.

The next-last paragraph above indicates that "The church is essentially a missionary church, whose mission stretches to the whole human race and will continue until the second coming of Christ.Mission does not just mean going abroad, for it can be anywhere. Currently I am chairman of my parish refugee project, using my experience as a chair to run meetings. This at the moment is what I can do for the refugees, that's part of my mission, just as gardening, writing articles and exam marking are. Maureen, my wife, wants to come in later to help the refugees with educational issues. This work will be her mission at the right time."

Might you still be chairing the parish refugee project and might your wife be concerned with educational issues?

Walled Gardens

Thank you for your comment in answer to my previous observation and question.

Online sources carry interesting images and information about Plas Cadnant.

English Wikipedia designates as current owner Anthony Tavernor. The latter devotes much time to the three-section garden of hidden-valley, upper-woodland and walled sections.

Tavernor also entrepreneured a hotel in the way of self-catering cottages.

What is a "self-catering" cottage?

English Identities

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

English Wikipedia describes Wild Geese as Jacobite army soldiers doing military service in continental Europe, especially France and Spain.

That article does not indicate why the phrase Wild Geese ended up as their moniker.

Does that phrase figure in Irish culture?

English Identities

Not as Irish, but some families may have drifted there. I believe that after the departure of the Wild Geese, some O'Rourkes migrated to Austria and later to Russia

Heaven is not a political system, so politicall forms do not apply there.

Christian Hermits

Brother Antony is an allusion to Antony the Abbot, who was Egyptian.

English Hedges

No physical descriptions are given in the New Testament. So no.
