As of yet I’ve only played one round and that was a couple of weeks ago. We tried last weekend but we’re rained out and this weekend, although not turning out as forecast (rain) still just that once. We decided to book a tee off time for Wednesday and it looks like the weather will co operate.🤞 Having said that…who knows? In the meantime can I offer you a green tea with a bit of lemon?🤔
Yes, That would nice thank you.

Oui, je parle francais couramment.
C'est formidable de pouvoir parler les deux langues. J'ai remarqué que beaucoup de gens à Ottawa parlent français lorsque j'étais là-bas en 2001.

Do we have anyone that has tried Bumbu rum and if so what was the preparation?

Bumba sounds like something Jamaican. I am familiar with another kinda Bumba but not the rum of which you speak. As a place to enjoy a dram or two, Inwill see to it that we get, at least one case of it.👍

Bumbu is from Barbados. It is an aged rum, they age it "up to" 15 years.

I think it is quite good, but it is possible that it is not for everyone.

This is a typical back-handed compliment from guys.

I also get "you're smarter than you look".


Ummmm, gee, thanks? So is Stormy Daniels.

Actually, I don't mind the under-estimation. I get that all the time.

But I know my rum. 😉

That's altogether possible.

I think Bumbu has an inflated price point and is a bit too sweet, almost like a liqueur. First taste is good, but I can't drink it all night.

Better half and myself know a Married couple from Jamaica who have a villa there and a few apartments. They work full time here as Nurses and invited us to go to Jamaica with them for a week. We both have let our passports run out so were not able to go. It would have been a nice retreat for a week or 2. Perhaps we will invest in a couple of 10 year passports. They both ran out around the time the Pandemic started so we saw no need of renewing at that time, when no one could go anywhere.
