Online sources are not being forthright about the phrase origin of Plas Cadnant.

Some sources identify the phrase as Cornish and others as Welsh.

Might you have access to the proper etymology and pronunciation?

The second paragraph to the first subheading, Understanding organics, advises us that "Thus the first requirement of being an organic grower is that you treat your soil not as something to be mined and exploited, but a living thing to be tended, nursed and nourished."

The above information caused me to consider among tending proper lighting, sometimes advanced, sometimes hindered by grouped or scattered trees.

Needle-bearing trees count among popular shade trees even as that role is being challenged by the Unitedstatesian spread of such diseases as brown spot needle blight and as needlecast.

Might the latter two diseases be present in the British Isles?

The first paragraph to the first subheading, Magnum silentium, defers to the silent style of Trappist monks.

Is it that Trappist monks minimize all sound or just speech?

Perhaps you have some time freed up by changing your gardening schedules.

Might it be possible to produce that Pontius Pilate novel?

Some online sources consider a Gospel by Mary.

English Wikipedia tentatively identifies that manuscript as by Mary sister of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene His follower or Our Lady Mary His mother.

The aforementioned source mentions one version in Coptic and two versions in Greek.

Might the Vatican libraries preserve some such fragments?

Thank you for the Amazing facts about eggs link at the very end of the first subheading, Eggs (and chicken)!

Online sources describe chicken-egg colors as brown and white, as Miha Gasper discusses in the aforementioned, elucidating, entertaining article.

Some online sources identify as a chicken-egg color blue-green. Is a blue-green chicken egg as tasty as a brown- or white-shelled one?

Perhaps the spell checker rendered shifts from what should have been swifts, in your comment yesterday in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question!

Some parts of the Asian and the Eurasian world appreciate dairy products from certain horse breeds.

Is horse cheese or horse milk among elite-niche products in the British Isles? If so, might they be home-made or imported?

(Per your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day comment-and-question session, my best wishes always to you and your wife and your family and to Veronica and her husband and their family.)

The roof garden perhaps depends upon some kind of watering system.

Do the park staff have a utility chest or closet up there for keeping hoses and tools?

They perhaps have drawings and maps and photographs that let you in on what is ailing and what is thriving, correct?

Thank you!

Bright sunlight can be problematic in some places, such as desert states such as Arizona or Nevada or New Mexico and such as Alaska.

Is the United Kingdom like Washington state, where it rains every other day if not sometimes days in a row?

Thank you!

English Wikipedia describes Staffa as 18th-century dwelling place for one family whose members fought to make their niche there permanent. Perhaps their descendants gave up in the 19th century.

That article identifies extant lodgings for 19th-century travelers and indicates "rig and furrow" agricultural legacies.

What is involved in "rig and furrow" agriculture?

We have many cheese lovers and a rich variety of local cheeses. So cheese is a staple on this side of the water. I like cheeses that are soft to medium hardness, for I have found that very hard cheeses cut my gum behind the incisors, only slightly, but not comfortable. As for Veronica, Cheshire cheese is her favourite. I shall be seeing her this weekend.

Too costly. I accept the limitations imposed by nature and age.. The park have been very good to me. They are realistic about my difficulties, and Maureen would go mad if she heard that I had climbed a ladder. Not worth causing trouble.

Thank you for thefairytales link that ends the 8th, Substack Blogger alternative!

The Bluebeard illustrations by John Austen and by William Heath Robinson have Bluebeard with hair hidden by roomy turbans. Only the image from Harry Clarke interprets a red-haired Bluebeard.

Is there a tradition of Bluebeard having different-colored facial and head hair?

There's such a word as trueist, perhaps now more commonly mentioned as truist. It means relating to something obviously accurate albeit non-conducive to any new achievements or understanding.

Might such a word result in some confusion, some invalid typosquatting because of its closeness to truest?
