Finally got around to the garden, as a friend highly recommended the place.

(That would be Minks)

I'm an american, living in britain (having married the best bloke on the island)

I'm in the medical profession. (nursing).....used to be a respiratory therapist, but they dont have those in britain! LOL!

I'm looking forward to alot of friendly conversation and stimulating discussions with y'all!

I love tea! We do coffee the way they do tea. I've been over here about 18 months now. I love living in Britain. Folks look at you like you're crazy, for wanting to live here. I think they've forgotten just how cool they really are.

Welcome to the neatest little garden in the world. My aunt was one of the first into inhalation therapy.. er... respiratory therapy. You will be pleased with the plant life here. Still trying to figure out where the waterplants are?

Already found the lilypond! :yh_bigsmi

Inhalation therapy! Cool! They were O2 orderlies before that. She helped pioneer a great field.

You better belive she knew that she was up to something good. Glad to see it evolving as it should. Lay odds on there being tons of people that have been helped by this branch of medicine

Having been in it myself for sixteen years, I know it has. But alas, it hasnt gotten over the pond yet, (at least in england) so I must pursue my medical propensities in another direction........starting off with being a poop checker. :-3

That's one of the things about being a pioneer. You have to keep re-explaining what it is that you do. Then the one's that are quick enough to catch on to what it is about find themselves trying to be king of the pond and can't even remember your name.

Are you pushing to get the government to take a 21st century look at this or are they just not going to acknowledge it because it would cost too much money to develop the systems to make it work.

God works in mysterious ways. You know.
