So far this has, for myself and friends/relatives, been a year of many people transiting to Spirit. For myself, I attended three funerals in as many weeks earlier this year – that of two uncles and a friend on the Roots Music scene, Tony Wilkinson. Also a close friend’s mother passed to Spirit just a [...]
I’m referring here to the mediums who go around concert halls giving readings to packed houses, and who may also do a few private readings. Some have been featured on TV programs, in Britain with the legal requirement to describe these shows as ‘for entertainment only’. Hard-line debunkers, describing themselves as ‘skeptics’, say there is no such [...]
There are some extremely controversial and offensive theories going around what some would describe as ‘New Age’ religions. This came to prominence recently when William Roache made an insensitive remark which was to do with karma inherited from past lives. Bill Roache is an actor I much admire for his Spiritual beliefs as well as [...]
Yesterday was my 68th birthday, and my mother (aged 98) kept saying we should be doing something special. We had some drinks, cakes and chocolates, plus a meal. I don’t see what else we could have done really. Her lift is out of order for the next few weeks, so going out would have meant manhandling [...]
We once had a simple, universal three-tier system of government in the UK: national government at Westminster (except that Northern Ireland also had Stormont), county councils and local government such as boroughs, urban districts and rural authorities. Now it is much more complicated. As well as national assemblies/parliaments in Scotland and Wales, though not in [...]
Diana’s youngest son, Harry, is literally treading in her footsteps by becoming a high-profile patron of the anti-landmines Halo Trust. The pictures of him on this page remind us of when his mother walked thru minefields in Bosnia and Angola, and the chilling events which followed. She received phone threats to her life, identified one [...]
The 1960s are often regarded as the watershed in pop music, culminating in the Flower Power and hippies of the latter part of that decade, ‘make love not war’ and the permissive society with the advent of The Pill, etc. In actual fact suggestive lyrics came long before the 1960s, first of all in so-called [...]
Yes, I’m sure I must have attended more funerals than weddings, civil partnerships or christenings. Not just because of the advanced age of myself, many of my friends and family. Unlike many gay men, it was not because of the AIDS epidemic as most of my gay friends were not directly affected by it, perhaps [...]
When I was a teenager and in my very early twenties, male homosexuality in Britain was an imprisonable offense, totally illegal. The gay scene was therefore underground and extremely difficult to find out about or break into. I never knew such a scene existed, so remained a complete virgin till well into my 22nd year. It [...]
This is not entirely a hypothetical situation. It concerns the problem, many would not see it as a problem, if a relative dies and leaves you money or property. It happened when my father died and my brother and others wished to contest his Will as virtually nothing was left to close relatives. I solved [...]
