The big brawny English accent was overwhelming to the Mississippi
regulars Oh they  knew Western; and "Yankee" ; but this wasn't either.
They rolled their eyes and guessed "Australian" as "we had a feller once
here who visited  from thar" We talked and ate terra cotta; a strange
language anyway; why with the pinning and anchoring systems let alone
the matching glaze and
build -up for substrate   for most folks listening  you might as well be
from
the moon.

A young lad unable to restrain himself  anymore; came over to our
outdoor work bench  peered past the scatter of  lunch plates , work
papers, and tools in progress and asked "Whatcha  y"all doing"? The big
Englishman seeing the youths innocence and seizing the moment for levity
responded gravely that we made " cement boots; for swimming".

So taken by the big mans seriousness and Coldstream accent
The lads eyes got big; he thought for a moment and then replied in
reassuring afterthought ......Well I knew- y"all -weren't from  -round
here" Its the weekend ;We're Delta bound with Mamma and Peanut ; the
Limey has never seen the Mississippi; and the bloom of Spring and the 70
deg temps are too much to bear not to mosey down old roads  to the
..geat Antebellum enclaves of Natchez and Port Gibson( the town to
pretty to burn ...Gen Grant). .There will be a 200th anniversary of the
town; Port Gibson (Natchez is
older) with blues on every corner ; gumbo and alligator pie to sample;
and a black tie affair for the  educated and  if we can clean up in time
from the log rolling and pie eating contest games of chance  for would
be Huck Finns and English rubes to squander their quarters on . Pyrate
