A bittersweet episode. We say goodbye (for now) to our friends at the Abbey. Although, maybe William is right. Maybe there will be one more letter sent before the world kneels before winter's clutches for several months. Its hard to know what comes next at the Abbey by the Bitter Tea River.

William discovers he's kinda illiterate (he can't recognize other languages). He makes a lame attempt to escape judgement about it. Lankely makes a statement. Uncle Clam stuns the world. Simmons' power is rivaled all at once.

Mail's here! Are you scared of puppets? William doesn't seem to be. Yet Brother Ian refuses to let him forget his past sins, even though he really did... nothing wrong.

In this episode of the Abbey of Bitter Tea River, where's Brother Lankely? William overhypes the plants of the Abbey. Sometimes, writers get carried away. And he does not seem to have realized that. A brother stubs his toe. The podcast introduces video content for the first time. Cicadas buzz throughout everything. Its just another evening. But something happened to Brother Lankely....

Orangatan. O-r-a-n-g-u-h-t-t-a-n O-r-ang-uh-tan Hard not to say when you hear (or read) it. What word? Orangutan (correctly spelled). The big orange monkey, instead of the copyrighted "el gran perro colorado." As William says, this is a not-much-happened letter. Because, life isn't always so hectic as when the first Abbot fell on his face, or when Father Clam broke a bone (he's r...

Mail's here! And it's the 8th letter if you can't read Roman numerals. In this episode of the Abbey of Bitter Tea River, well... the episode title does it justice. William can be rather introspective. But I've definitely seen beetles like he describes here. Hey, also, do you ever fold letters like he folds his? A single crease down the center to fit into the envelope? Or are you we...

Mail's here! In this episode of the Abbey of Bitter Tea River, William tells us of the beauty of the Abbey and its folk. He also describes how a set of baby pigs has joined the animals on the Abbey grounds. Brother Hamish cooks again (who would've guessed), and the sweltering heat keeps most of the Abbey in the shade. Apparently, there is also a cat living at the Abbey, too. No dogs, yet.... Maybe...
