Reindeer have become synonymous with Christmas time. They are a very unique deer, native to parts of Europe, Scotland, Asia, and North America. The males and females grow antlers, unlike any other deer. The males lose them in autumn during the mating season, but the females keep them to protect their young. Their antlers are huge and so account for their particularly majestic look. Their eyes are not bad either, allowing them to see ultraviolet light and spot predators more easily. Their special noses can allow them to warm that cold air.

Folklore has them travelling, pulling Santa’s sleigh throughout the skies of the world, but they can actually travel very long distances. In North America, they are known by a different name. Caribou. Whatever the name, we enjoy them as a beautiful feature on our cards and calendars during the Christmas and winter season.

What a night Sunday!! It was our Carols and Panto gathering, and probably the wackiest service of the year. We sang our favourite carols, heard some lovely, humorous readings, and then it was time for the much-anticipated pantomime. This year, it was Alice in Wonderland. Steve Lidgett Williams played an Alice Cooper kind of Alice, while Rob Harvey was The Evil Queen donning Freddy Mercury regalia. As if that wasn’t enough, we had Sarah Dorgan as The White Rabbit and the Mad Mad Hatter, Alison Keogh as the Mad March Hare, Graham Searle as a Dozy Dormouse, as well as a playing card. Chris Elliot was our Cheshire Cat, and also a playing card, and Virginia Gordon was a caterpillar and a playing card, also. Chris Shore narrated the buffoonery. We also had Santa and the Elves coming by. Thanks to Julie, Nerina, and Sue.

We thank our readers and prayer people, Ailette lit our Shepherd’s candle for JOY, and Lisa ran our music. Carol and Sue brought us some delightful Christmas baked goods with mulled wine to wash them down with. It was a very festive night enjoyed by all. Thank you Everyone for all the work and effort!!

Finally, my beautiful Butterfly Bush, AKA Buddleia, didn’t just spring into life, but erupted into colour and grew so quickly this year. Aptly named, she attracts not just a large variety of butterflies but bees and ladybirds also.

Along with her beauty and colour, she emits a wonderful scent, her ultimate lure for pollination. She has grown so quickly this year, I can look through my upstairs window and see up close and personal the varieties of nature she attracts, as well as enjoy nature’s perfume at its best, wafting through the rooms.

She was introduced into England from China in 1896, and she has remained a firm favourite ever since, sometimes growing in the most unlikely places. What is it with Buddleia and railways? Her Spiritual symbolism is that of transformation and renewal. Something we can’t all get enough of.

Brave souls made it out to Chawton after some wacky weather last night. Downpours seemed to be all around, yet we had a good turnout despite that for our In-House Evening of Clairvoyance. Chris Shore chaired the evening with her usual grace while Rob Harvey, our President, shared thoughts concerning Life after Death with a personal story. He then went on to give clairvoyance along with a couple of fledglings, Chris Elliot and Alison Keogh. It was a good learning night, whilst bringing some lovely messages for some. Thank you all!!

Thank you to those who gave prayers and readings to lift the vibration of the space. Thank you to Julie on the music. We know that Carol never disappoints when in the house, as we enjoyed more cake, tea, and coffee. Healing completed the evening. Thank you to all those who set up and break down, as always.

Prayer of the week

One week into official summertime, and all of summer is in full swing. The temperatures have been sizzling, and we cannot complain. Even the marsh frogs are trying to cool off in their ponds. He is not native to the UK but was introduced during the 1930s to the Walland Marsh in Kent, and has become very established within the South East. Larger than most frogs, he can be very acrobatic and also very shy and hard to spot, being wary of humans. He is active day and night, and very vocal with his loud laughing call, but will stop immediately with movement nearby that he considers threatening. He is associated with healing and wisdom.

Well, he and his pals quietened down very quickly on Saturday in their pond at ‘Eden’, as we began to gather for our annual Garden Party. Usually, we pray for good weather and no rain, but there wasn’t a cloud in the sky as we sheltered from the sun. It was a glorious afternoon of laughter and chatter as some hard-working souls ran back and forth with tea, Pimms, sandwiches, scones, and more, and we sat enjoying each other and the beautiful garden. The annual fun auction was also a great success!. Thanks to Rob and Sue, Chris Shore, Chris Elliot, and Carole, amongst others, who made the afternoon so lovely for everyone!

We then rolled into Sunday, enjoying Eve Cowell, our visiting medium at our evening gathering, and we had a lovely time!! Thank you so much, Eve, for your thoughts and bringing such lovely messages for us!! Thank you to the family for our readings and prayers. Thank you, hospitality, music team, and of course, our healers. And we never forget the set-up and break-down each week!!

Thank you, Everyone. Just a wonderful weekend all around.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week!!

Hydrate and don’t forget the animals and plants!!
