The Fawns are finally becoming visible in greater numbers as we move through the summertime. Six species of deer thrive in the UK. The Roe, Red Deer, Fallow, Chinese water deer, Sika, and Muntjac. They can stand still in plain sight, but still be camouflaged. The grace of most deer is legendary.

Only the Roe and the Red Deer are actually native to this land. The Fallow Deer were brought by the Normans in the 11th century. The Sika Deer originated from Asia and were introduced to England in 1860. The Chinese Water Deer were actually brought to London from China, and became resident at Whipsnade Zoo, where they escaped in 1929. The Muntjac, a much stockier species, also came from China in the 20th century. I must confess, the first time I saw a Muntjac at a distance, I thought he was a wild pig running through the woods. Those walking dogs are well aware that the deer are around, for some dog breeds especially, are beyond excited to catch the scent. Even good recall might not cut the irresistible urge to give chase!

We braved the torrential rain last week, and this week we braved the scorching heat and tore ourselves away from a Wimbledon final to head into Chawton, as we were so looking forward to seeing Irene Hall and Em Dowsing. We had a lovely evening with these ladies, as Irene shared beautiful thoughts, and they both gave clairvoyance, sometimes working together on the same reading. We had some lovely messages!! Thank you for your hearts, ladies. We loved having you!!

Readings and prayers from the Family always lift the room. Carole had prepared quite exotic little cupcakes. Thank you! Thank you, music team- Julie and Lisa. Thanks to our healers and everyone who washes up, sets up, and breaks down.

Prayer of the week.

Let’s bring it home. Please pray for Peace in this whole world. Please pray that obstacles to the Peace Deals in the Middle East and Ukraine can be dismantled, and the people and animals of these regions can once more come to calm, so healing can begin.

It would appear that the weather has broken, with a cool breeze this morning. We’ll see.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week!!

· One of the lovely things about awakening from sleep, especially near summertime, is the soothing coo coo of the Wood Pigeon. He is maligned as a greedy guts at our bird table, but he is scientifically no different than the dove symbolizing The Spirit and the Dove of Peace, universally known around the world.

Pigeons are intelligent, contrary to belief. His slowness to flutter off from approaching cats is not a lack of brains. In 1995, Japanese scientists even trained Wild Rock Dove Pigeons to distinguish pictures of Monet and Picasso with an accuracy of ninety percent. He has also been used during wartime to carry messages back and forth, bringing valuable information.

In Britain we have the Wood pigeons, the Collared Dove, the Stock Dove, The Wild Rock Dove, (who accounts for the huge feral populations in cities,) and The Turtle Dove, They are all closely related and they mate for life also, which is especially heart breaking when one loses a partner.

Many people keep Homing Pigeons as a hobby. The hippocampus is very developed in all pigeons for navigation, but in these Homing Pigeons, especially so.

Well, we found our own way as homing pigeons to church last night in Chawton. We gathered on Father’s Day, knowing Sarah Dorgan, one of our own, would be in the house. Our effervescent gal brought sweet, inspired thoughts and beautiful messages. Well done, Sarah!! The evening was chaired by the lovely Chris Elliot, and they made such a team!!. Thank you both. So much laughter and fun, and we even managed to sing without music, after a hiccup had us improvising..

The Family brought readings and prayers to lift the energy of the room, and the energy continued with the healing afterward. Thank you, healers. Carole whipped up a beautiful cake and Sue ran our hospitality. Thank you for the set-up and break-down, everyone!

Prayer of the week

Please pray for our world. So much has happened this past week. Our world feels like it’s falling apart sometimes, but we know that The Centre point of it all, our Father holds it. Please send loving kindness and prayers to all the Inhabitants and situations of peril.

Calendar up tomorrow.

Have a beautiful week!!

Stop, however busy, and absorb some of the beauty of the outside.

It is that time when we know we are fully into Autumn, as the Pumpkins are doing more than making an appearance. They are everywhere, whether real or decoration, and definitely get us into the Harvest/Autumnal feel. We spied one at Church last night, beautifully carved.

Pumpkins are fairly easy to grow, requiring a little shelter but plenty of sun. They were introduced to Tudor England in the sixteenth century by The French. They are native to North America and have been grown there for at least five thousand years. The Native Americans used strips of pumpkin to make mats. This colourful vegetable is full of Vit A, B, potassium and protein, and so oh so good for you! Their Spiritual symbolism is one of Harvest and Abundance. No surprises there.

There was an abundance of Spirit and good feeling last night with the high energy, as we welcomed Virginia Gordon who has been part of our family for some time. We had lovely thoughts shared by her and then she brought the messages. Well done Virginia!. It was a truly lovely evening!! Steve chaired the evening with his usual humour, as we heard beautiful prayers and readings. Thank you for music, cake – coffee and walnut no less, and healers standing by after the service. Thanks to all those who diligently set up and break down the evening each and every week!

Prayer for the week.

Please pray for Peace in this world. The world sorely needs it.

Calendar up next!

Have a beautiful Autumnal week!!
