Hi everyone!

I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote here! I honestly thought that the next month's post would be to say that I had succeeded in publishing the print-on-demand version - which I'm only almost ready to do now on Lulu. Sorry to be so tardy!

Anyway I wanted to get back to posting here again and I realised I had a nice little anecdote to tell you. I recently went to have a reading with a medium where Mum came through (as I knew either she or Dad would). During the reading the medium told me that Mum was coming around and leaving little wafts of perfume in the air near me. Not only that, she was specific in that she said it was Nina Ricci's L'Air Du Temps. And, sure enough, after that I started to notice the wafts, which was lovely as I then knew who was producing them - and it's a gorgeous scent (at least that older version is).

At the time of the reading I didn't think there was any relevancy to this particular scent as Mum rarely wore perfume. Then I remembered that I'd bought some of that perfume for myself once and, not having worn it much, I put it into a bin a year or two later, thinking that it had probably gone off. Then, later, I saw that Mum must have fished it out as I saw it on her dressing table! So in fact there was a connection after all!

This is a picture of my mum and is how I often see her now in my dreams.

For those who've read the book you may recall that she passed in June 2001 at 82. It recently occurred to me how she's changed since her transition and I thought you'd be interested to hear my thoughts.

When she first crossed she seemed a little confused and some of her earlier communications with me were not the nicest! (Though some were lovely.) Now, however, with the passage of fourteen and a half years I've noticed how settled she's become and much more confident of her abilities regarding communication with us on this side. When I see her in my dreams she's much more likely to show herself looking young as above, rather than mostly looking as she did towards the end of her life. She's always very loving towards me now and, judging by the things she's said through mediums, has been able to see the bigger picture of what I was going through when she was still here and what she was unaware of then. She likes to give me advice and tells me she'll help me with things, and also has become extremely protective of me since her passing. I have no doubt that she and our passed-over loved ones can indeed help us from their side, amazing as it sounds. They certainly know what's going on with us.

Over recent years she's shown how she can occupy a whole private session with a medium - chatting all the time (she loved to talk!) - but more recently she's become much more evident in public mediumship demonstrations too. It used to be Dad who always came through at them, often the first to communicate, and though he still does she's just as confident as he is, if not more so now, and I think could probably monopolise the whole time if allowed! I think it's lovely to know that we acclimatise to life over there and become more settled and confident with time, and it certainly seems we can enjoy ourselves! 

Hi Everyone!

This picture, believe it or not, is of our old family mausoleum in London. My brother, cousin and I went to visit it last year. It doesn't house my parents or any of that generation as it was closed up many years ago, but the names of great aunts and uncles are clearly engraved on the outside. My brother actually inherited the huge key for its door and brought it along. However, we weren't able to use it as the lock was missing - due to its having been boarded up, presumably to deter thieves. I haven't actually been visited by any of the spirits of the incumbents, probably because they had died a long time before I was born and therefore there's not much of a connection between me and them. However, I thought you might be interested to see this amazing building!

Just recently I went to a mind, body, spirit fair and for some reason my parents were very keen to communicate - so much so that it got rather embarrassing! There were several little talks given by some of the mediums there and at each one either Mum or Dad insisted on coming through! It was lovely but at the last one when the medium said, "I have someone calling out John and David (my Dad's name and my brother's)....." I thought I'd better keep quiet and let someone else's spirit family go instead. This they did very quickly. I think what happens at these events is that there are a whole lot of spirit people queuing up, desperate to have their go through the medium, and I think there can even be quite a bit of spirit pushing and shoving going on! So, when I declined who I knew was my dad on this occasion (sadly, but fair's fair to the others - which he would have understood), the spirit person next to him would have quickly jumped in and turned the 'John' and 'David' to their advantage, or simply ignored them and said something else that would have been recognised by someone else in the audience. Aren't they great?!

Hi everyone!

Despite the book only covering nine years of spirit dreams, I've never stopped getting them since 1998 and still get them to this day - and of course am writing all of them down for inclusion in a possible second book!

My dreams lately have been of the 'usual suspects' - family members, friends and pets - and especially of one of our cats, Chunkie. He, in particular, has been back several times recently and there's an interesting little anecdote that you might be interested to hear about concerning my son's rottweiller, also in spirit but not very long passed over. So that's why the photo of the two of them. (You wouldn't believe from the picture that at one time Chunkie wouldn't have gone anywhere near Banger for fear of his life!)

Recently my son Ed was using a garden hose when he heard coming from behind him the special rrruff-ruffing sound that Banger always made when he wanted to play with water from a hose. Ed is not fanciful in any way but he said there was no mistaking what he heard. For Banger, playing with water from a hose was just the best fun and he absolutely loved it and would never tire - except from exhaustion from all the jumping around! It was his favourite game therefore it wasn't surprising he came back for more!

So it's not just in dreams that our spirit friends come back to visit us but also in waking life. They're so interested in what we're doing, often dropping by, and the love link between us, whether family member, friend or pet, is never lost.

I made an exciting discovery this week when looking through an old photo album of my Mum's which had been retrieved from a relation's attic. I came upon a picture that Mum had taken in 1936 of a German Shepherd. I'd had a dream of her shortly after she passed in 2001

where she showed herself petting such a dog. At the time I had no idea why she would show me that dog in particular as she'd never mentioned ever having one. I was aware that there were several dogs - they called them 'yard dogs' - living at her aunt and uncle's lovely home in Ireland where she lived, and I also knew that Mum liked to go off into the neighbouring bogs taking a yard dog with her. I can now assume that this one was a particular favourite of hers. How lovely to still be finding out things about my Mum - directly from her in the spirit world!

This is the extract from the book where she appears to me with the German Shepherd:

"In a dream I was staying in an unknown house and for some reason went out at night to look around the town. I returned to the house and as I entered I very clearly heard Mum’s voice as if she were petting an animal. Her voice was coming from upstairs so I went up the first flight of stairs and, turning round to a half-landing, I saw the whole of Mum clearly and she was stroking a German Shepherd."
