You know there is hope when the catkins are out. For sure they are a herald of Spring. The Birch catkins are out early so that is a definite pointer. Catkins are usually pollinated by the wind. although some can be insect pollinated also, covering all bases.

The name derives from the Dutch name Katteken, which means Kitten, as they resemble fluffy kitten tales. They have unisex flowers and although they don’t look like flowers, their drooping nature helps pass on the pollen they hold, more easily, as the wind blows.

Last night in Chawton, there was a lot of passing on of messages and information as we got extremely close to Spirit. Rob took us out of the box completely as he passed on messages from Spirit for our congregation. The energy was high and serene, and the door between Circle and Church was opened wide, as some questions were answered also. House Mediums were on hand to confirm what they were sensing as well. A special night indeed.

Thank you for readings and prayers which helped set the tone. Thank you all who help with set up and music and tea and snacks and of course our Healers.

Sarah chaired the evening beautifully with her effervescence.

If ever there was a creature that can entertain with his brazen ways, yet can also send gardeners and bird feeders into a rage, it is this very clever chap. Never missing an opportunity, he will go to risky lengths when he eyes a prize.

I watched in amazement last week as two very plucky grey squirrels made their way along the fence to a short dead tree where bird food was out. Despite crows, magpies, pigeons Jackdaws and alike all feeding together, and despite one of my dogs who is prey driven going in and out of the back garden, they took the risk and bustled in amongst the birds confident they could score and still get away from my Shepherd Husky. They did, and of course under my watchful eye, I made sure from then on that the bird table was clear of those who cannot fly.. before he charged out!

Food is plentiful with berries and such but they wanted the suet drops, and they got them.. I did buy little suet ball holders, but they managed to get them off the tree and drag all six away..and I found the little holders over the fence in the woods.. You have to admire that kind of tenacity..

And there was plenty to admire last night in Chawton. Steve gave a completely inspired ‘in the moment’ address and brought our lovely messages!! Well done Steve. Great job! Chris Elliot chaired beautifully. We had lovely prayers and readings, and even a prayer sang by Sarah. Just lovely. Julie ran the music. Plenty of biccies, tea and coffee and of course healing followed. Thank you everyone!!

Calendar up next.

Signs of Spring are upon us. Let’s act as if..

Have a beautiful week everyone!!
