There is something very refreshing about summer rain. Even with the mild and stronger storms we have encountered in this neck of the woods, it just feels different, and did I mention warmer? This sentiment is shared by others, as we see by the endless poems and songs inspired by this warm season’s showers and downpours.

It is the warm ground that makes moist air move upwards and often creates thunderstorms where the clouds and air become unstable, and within the clouds, ice and water droplets collide, and electrical charges are created, and so lightning and thunder follow soon after. There is something quite wonderful about the crackle of thunder in the distance and the start of showers after a hot, humid day, and although people in this part of the world will always complain endlessly about the rain, this is summer rain and that changes everything.

We are always open to trying new things, and last night Rob did that again. He worked a little differently for our In-House night. After some explaining about the spirit side of things, he went on to take Questions not for himself, but for spirit to answer. This was clearly not trance, but just allowing spirit to pass on information to answer questions asked. Such an insightful evening. Thank you so much Rob!!. And our own Chris Elliot chaired the evening brilliantly. A very good team.

Our family readings and prayers always set the tone for the unseen ones to move in close. Thank you to our readers. Thank you, Julie, on the music. Thank you, Carole, again for the divine cake. ( There is usually a stampede for the cake table. ) Thank you, Sue, for hospitality. Thank you to our healers standing by afterwards. We are also well aware of those who wash up and those who set up and break down each week. Thank you.

Prayer of the week

Please pray for those whose lives have been dramatically changed and turned upside down by events in their lives. This is always such a hard road to navigate. May we lift all those in these circumstances, in whatever situation they find themselves in.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week!!

We have just passed the midsummer mark, or the summer solstice. Due to the mystery of the sun appearing to stand still since Neolithic times (10,000 years before Christ), the imaginations of cultures throughout the centuries stirred, creating many traditions. St John’s Day, celebrated by many Christians on the 24th of June, is also thought to deliberately coincide with the midsummer mark.

We have enjoyed absolutely glorious weather in this neck of the woods, and so with flowers in full bloom and the beauty of the natural world, it has indeed been fitting for this time. The days, alas, will shorten now by two minutes every evening, but the symbolism of this midsummer time prompts us to think of joy and abundance during the fullness of this season in this hemisphere.

Joy and Laughter were abundant last night in Chawton. Lesley Knight was in the house, and how we love having her visit us. Lesley gave us laughter, shared beautiful thoughts that we all needed to hear, and then brought some lovely messages for us. Thank you so much, Lesley!! Alison Keogh chaired our evening

It was also Mr Shackleton’s birthday, and so we enjoyed cake and a bit of singing to ring in another year for him. Happy Birthday Les!! It is your birthday week!!

Thank you to The Family who brought lovely readings and prayers. Thank you, Julie, for running our music. Thank you, Carole, for the cake. Thank you hospitality, and a special thanks to our healers. And of course, light work is made of set up and break down because all of those who do it diligently every week.

Prayer of the week

Please pray for the tense situation in Iran. Pray for the leaders, and all people and animals, let’s not forget them, affected by any fallout.

Calendar up soon.

Have a beautiful week. Summer is here. Let’s hope she stays for the Garden Party Saturday!!

My relentless nettles have brought this magical creature back. I thought it was early for them but this Brown Hawker female is usually out and about at this time and will be active till October. She is a dragonfly, and her rust coloured wings caught my eye. These intricate wings of a dragonfly or damselfly are like stain glass windows, and her silhouette looks like a nature spirit. A stream runs nearby, and I am sure this makes things perfect for her in ways of laying eggs and hunting. She is a symbol of transformation, joy and lightness of being amongst many other things depending on where you live..

What a weekend!! There was plenty of lightness of being down in Chawton Saturday morning as we hosted our Clairvoyance, Healing and Coffee Morning.! Huge thanks to our visiting mediums- Lesley Knight and Lorraine Francois! Thank you for all your hard work!!

Our House mediums were not dawdling either. Sarah, Nerina, Rob, Virginia and Chris worked their tails off. There were thirty nine readings in all in about two hours. Healing was on hand from Ken and Barbara and Alison and Jane, and we did not stop but to gulp some coffee down quickly!! Others healed also to try and fill the demand. Julie coordinated with Chris Shore, as we yet again enjoyed baked goods divine from Carole and Sue. A very busy and joyful morning for all. Apologies if I have forgotten anyone, we were that busy.. The set up and the flowers were lovely also. Thank you!

Sunday in Chawton did not disappoint. Nerina took the service and brought a lovely address about nature spirits and then brought our messages. Thank you so much Nerina! What a lovely evening chaired by the equally lovely Chris Shore. Thank you for readings and prayers everyone and plenty of ‘tasties’ from Saturday to enjoy!! Healing was on hand as always after the service!!

Prayer of the week

Please pray for our Emergency Services. We are reminded of their role with the recent tragedy in Bicester, in the fire that claimed three lives, two of them firefighters. Please hold their families and friends in your prayers.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week. Get outside and enjoy!!

We celebrated Easter yesterday and as we were driving to church Mr Shackleton and I came across a stunning but injured bird in the road with her deceased fledgling. The bird was huge and as I grabbed a towel to place her up a country path to see what I could do, whilst searching frantically on my phone for rehabbers or advice, she passed. A sad sobering moment of springtime and Easter.

She was beautiful and so big with large strong legs. I knew she was a hawk and it turns out she was a Goshawk with her fledgling which was very well developed and large. Goshawks have bounced back from near extinction in the 1800s but are still fairly rare. There are reported to be only 600 pairs of them across the UK which made this event especially sad, but the Easter message is continuing life and we know this goes for all who live, so we wish her and her ‘fledger’ well on their way. Please take due care and attention on the roads this springtime. A little less speed may spare some lives.

We gathered last evening in Chawton and had a lovely family Easter night. We heard beautiful prayers and readings and caught up on the Easter story. Rob gave a thoughtful inspired address as Nerina chaired beautifully.

Carole did not disappoint with her Easter cake. We also had meringues I believe whipped up by Sue. We are so spoilt. Thank you hospitality, Lisa and Julie our music team, and our healers, and everyone who sets up and breaks down.

Prayer of the week.

Please pray again for our leaders that they would receive guidance and also find more kindness within their hearts and govern accordingly.

Calendar up tomorrow.

Happy Easter Monday!!

Have a beauuutiful week !!

I was rather dismayed as I went to the birdfeeder this morning to find my five huge dandelions had disappeared, but of course that is impossible. What they had wisely done was close their petals in the still chilly morn and chilly dew to protect their pollen and their seeds. This ‘weed’ is such a gorgeous sunny plant with amazing healing properties of all kinds. No wonder she is symbolically aligned with transformation, renewal, and hope. She also lifts the spirits with her many slim and beautiful petals and her cheery colour.

We were feeling quite cheery last night in Chawton. Even after losing an hours sleep and springing forward, we were in good spirits. It was Mothers Day and it was a glorious spring day with beautiful blue skies and plenty of sun. We also had Stephen Rowlands coming to visit to give a completely inspired address when he shared his own experiences. and then went on to bring our messages. Thank you so much Stephen. It was a lovely evening! Alison Keogh chaired.

Thank you to our readers, our hospitality, Julie and Lisa make a great team alternating on running our music each week. Hospitality talent never disappoints. Lovely cake and baked goods, Thank you Carole et al. Thank you Nerina and Sue for hospitality help. Thank you to our healers of course, and all who set up and break down.

*And for all who know this wonderful man………LES IS HOME!

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for the victims of Myanmar and the earthquake. There have been miracles being pulled from the rubble. May we hold the thought that there can be many more stories of hope, Please think of all the victims and their families, and include them in your prayers.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week!! It is Spring!!

Some need help from a friend to move on.

I have spoken many times about ghosts in houses and how I help move them on and I’m sure I will be doing it a lot more but occasionally it seems that those who pass need help to move on. what I mean by this is when you die you leave your body but you don’t necessarily automatically move on to the next world you will be going to. I’ve come across several cases recently where the spirit after they have died is hanging around almost waiting for permission or advice from someone to move on.

The recent cases I’ve done there are actually asking or wanting to ask someone they love or a friend if they should take that next step. there are millions of souls who are between the Worlds for one to the better way of putting it who are simply Souls who have left the body but not moved on to the next world. there can be many reasons for this they can simply be confused Souls or they don’t want to leave their loved ones.

Last week a young lady who I know very well called me because she was concerned that she felt a spirit in her house. the way I started to help her is the same when I move a spirit or ghost from a house the first thing I need is pictures of every room and the house to see if I can sense something. let me explain that sensing is something after a lifetime of working as a medium that does speed up so things can happen quite quickly and nowadays sensing something there seems to be a link quite quickly.

Once I had seen the pictures it becoming quite clear that there was a young Soul in this house someone who wanted to move on but he was hesitating about it. I could sense straight away and I have come across this before he wanted to ask someone what they thought he should do and once again with this soul it was someone he knew. quite quickly this soul was sensing me and this is what happens all the time because those who have left the body are not normally sensed by anybody with who has a physical body. so to begin with that’s what takes place and they are almost shocked that someone is sensing them but in this case I am a hundred percent sure this was organized,

With most cases that I come across it is very clear that those on the other side in spirit have already organised the connections that take place which is what happened with this one. I could sense a young man there who was slightly in distress but he kind of wanted reassurance and when I spoke on the phone to this young lady and to her boyfriend they put themselves on speaker. I could sense this young man knew her boyfriend in the house and I knew that he had died very quickly and then it became clear with the communication of talking to them and what I was sensing that this young man had died very suddenly. Her boyfriend new who it was with the evidence I gave him.

I could sense with this young man he was asking his best friend who was this lady’s boyfriend on the phone whether he should take the next step which may seem a very odd situation but I come across this many times now where they just want someone to say yes it’s okay to move on. so I asked this girl’s boyfriend over the phone in his mind to say to this person who wanted reassurance, who was asking is this okay. I asked him to say his mind yes it is fine move on. The moment he did that I could sense this young man who unfortunately had committed suicide move on straight away because a friend of his still here in the physical body had said yes it’s okay to move on so he moved on I saw him disappear and moved to the next world.

As you can imagine this was a bit of a shock to the couple that I was talking to on the phone but when I contacted them later that day the feelings that they had in that house had all disappeared. You can imagine this was very strange for them but it’s also quite logical that someone who’s caught Between the Two Worlds if only they can get a message or make contact with one of their best friends when they were in the physical body that is what makes all the difference. I am simply the last link in the chain, this girl sensing him and her boyfriend they were there sensing something but no idea what to do about it but I have a sure it was all arranged beforehand that they called me because I can sense these things and he moves on.

There is so much that we do not understand  but regularly with myself this is what is taking place and all that matters is the people who had a feeling a spirit in their house are relieved because that spirit has moved on and even more relieved knowing that a friend of theirs or a loved one of theirs has come to them and they have said move on to me this is the most beautiful situation and it seems to be happening with myself more and more and it is my privilege to help.
