As the season already starts to turn, we see the stunning mauve heather adorn our common lands. The ferns begin to shift to their signature autumnal rust colour, and other plants are starting to move through their own changes. The sunny St. John’s Wort has been in bloom since June and will soon be showing us red berries, which beckon wildlife to snack, but humans should refrain from eating, as there can be quite adverse effects.
The petals of St John’s Wort have long been used for homeopathic remedies, notably for skin problems, but especially for lifting the mood and chasing those blues away. Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, he has quite a history. He is named so because of the time of year he blooms, around the time of the summer solstice and the Feast of St John. His sap is red and is connected to the blood shed by St John, confirming his Christian ties. Wort is just an old English name for this plant who has spiritual symbolism of protection against negative energies, bringing healing and a connection to Divine Light, and we always like that.
Last night in Chawton, we rode high on that Light when Vanessa Smallwood came to visit. It was Vanessa’s first time with us, and we loved having her. What a night!! A fascinating address, concerning her path to Platform and Mediumship and then wonderful, sometimes hysterical messages, from those in spirit. Our sides were splitting. When we say our loved ones retain their sense of humour and who they are, we mean it!! There was a lot of laughter on both sides of the veil last night. Thank you so much, Vanessa! Li’l Chris, our own Christine Elliot, chaired the evening beautifully. Thank you so much, ladies!!
We thank our family for the beautiful readings, prayers, and hymns sung to lift the energies. We thank Julie for music, Sue for hospitality, our healers standing by after the service, and, as always, those who set up, break down, and wash up!!
Prayer of the week
Please pray for the animals in this world. From pets to wildlife and every other creature in between, in their different circumstances. There is so much ignorance and abuse of those others that share this world with us. From wars to famine to wildfires, the animals struggle, too.
Calendar up next.
Get your brolly out, and have a beautiful week!!
We gathered again on Zoom last night, enjoying the beautiful readings and prayers everyone offered. Healing always follows. Trust some people had a good night’s sleep.
Please continue to pray for those who have no faith throughout this world.
Vanessa Smallwood is with us on Sunday in Chawton. We look forward to welcoming her!! Come and join us!!

John Morrow came to visit us on Sunday in Chawton. We had such a good time. Thank you, John, for your words and messages. Our own Steve chaired the evening with his usual good humour. Thank you both!!
As August prepares to shut up shop and the nights become darker sooner, we know that a change of season is on the horizon. The late summer days and nights bring the hedgehogs and hoglets scurrying to forage and become strong before the colder temperatures arrive. This quirky little fellow is active mainly at night but can be seen before dusk.
The European Hedgehog is the native hedgehog of the UK. After finding sanctuary in some of our gardens, and spending the summer dodging the strimmers and lawnmowers, he is now looking for shelter. Leaves, log piles, and debris, will catch his eye and look like a good place for a long nap. A little cat or dog food, but no milk, will give him a little help to gather his strength and get ready for what is to come. Let us all enjoy the last hurrah of summer. It has been quite spectacular.
We headed to Chawton last night, and after a beautiful day, we had quite a spectacular night. John Morrow was in the house, and we had such a wonderful time as John shared his journey to mediumship and brought so many lovely messages. Thank you so much, John! We loved having you! Steve Lidgett Williams chaired the evening, so between both of them, you know, there was plenty of humour. Thank you, Steve!!
Our family held up the energy with their prayers and readings. Thank you so much, everyone!! There was yet another cake. Thank you, Carole! Thanks, Sue, for our hospitality. Thank you, Julie, for our music. Thank you to our diligent healers and all those who set up, break down, and wash up!!
Prayer of the week.
Please pray for all those in our world who have no faith of any kind. We sometimes forget what that was like or could be like. Faith inspires us and makes our experiences richer with understanding and love for all.
The calendar will be up soon.
It’s going to be a beautiful week!
We shared a lovely evening last night as sunshine finally burst through the moody day in this neck of the woods. It was so nice to gather and hear the beautiful readings, prayers, and music to soothe. Healing followed.
Please continue to pray for Peace in our world. It always starts with us.
John Morrow is with us on Sunday in Chawton.
Join us!!
