THE QUIRKY MEDIUM IN SPAIN
Putting our own mark on it!
The next few weeks saw us decorating, buying some furniture, and feeling happy that we were finally here and putting our mark on our new home. After a couple of weeks there was a knock at the door. The guy smiling at me introduced himself as our next door neighbour Niall and his daughter Taara. Although spelt differently, she has the same name as our cat Tara! (Synchronicity at it’s finest). Niall said if we needed any help unpacking etc, to not be heroes, but to give him a shout. That first introduction was just the start of a beautiful relationship with such a lovely family especially when we met the rest of the Doherty family, Mum Lucy and their eldest daughter Keira. later that week. It’s amazing how, in this modern world, our lives are told through Social Media. Here are a few of the entries I shared with friends all across the world from my Face book timeline.

Dear all please note I won’t have Internet for some time in Spain. Picking up where I can if you’ve emailed me pulse be patient. Thanks so much for all your good wishes. Pets arrived last night & are settling in well
10th April
Picking Internet from a cafe bar! So hi lovely FB friends hope your all having a magical evening. I’m so happy my pets are here, they were very stressed last night when they arrived but were so happy to see us. They are settling better now – it’s a fresh start for all of us.
12th April
Picking emails & FB messages up from apartment as don’t have Internet yet in the villa. Seems strange & yet peaceful! What did we do before electronic communication? Last night we had thunder & fork lightning. Very dramatic! Beautiful sunny day today – finding our way around – it’s great exploring! Our neighbours are lovely & made us so welcome. Pets settling in they were so nervous when they arrived on wed eve & we were so happy to see them. Libby isn’t well today so could I ask for healing for her please? I don’t know if it’s a change in diet or she’s been overwhelmed with all the changes…. I’ve given her some Reiki this morning & she’s a bit better. Tara cat is finding her furry feet by casing the joint! & Celeste cat is more of a home bird enjoying her abode, We have a lot to do but can take our time. Our furniture & personal items arrive at the end of next week & I will enjoy welcoming my angel figurines to their new home, & building my angel altar. Wishing you all a magical weekend. Adios amigos from sunny Spain!

Boo’ to all family & friends. Thanks so much for healing sent to Libby she’s much better today. She’s out with us making friends with people at our local bar. Bless her; she’s been so confused but doing well & enjoying being out with her mum & dad in the spring sun. Ole!
14th April
A day of sorting out! Ordered new furniture for the villa. Off now to look at cars, still driving a hire car… We are getting there, bit by bit. The synchronistic signs have been amazing since being here. Thanks so much for the healing for Libby Loo, she is great now and enjoys a siesta every afternoon. I must admit I keep falling asleep, too! Must be all that sun! Take care amigo’s, enjoy your day, and catch up soon. Hopefully the internet will be in this week and we will have telly, too!
18th April
Happy Easter amigo’s. Lots of Easter celebrations going on here in Spain. We still have no Internet. We’ve had to come to our apartment in Almoradi to pick up emails. I’m trying not to get frustrated. They said they’d be here yesterday to put a landline in, Internet connection & telly. We stayed in all day & guess what? Yup they didn’t turn up. They didn’t ring to let us know they weren’t coming! As Spain is shut (I kid you not) for the whole of Easter we won’t be able to get hold of them until Tuesday at the earliest. However the sun continues to shine & me John & our furry family are settling in well. My next project is to turn part of our under build into a spiritual oasis & angelorium. I can’t wait to get started!
Last night we had drinks with our neighbours then took Libby for a walk to ‘the crosses’. It’s normally so quiet so imagine our surprise to see thousands of people there… It was an enactment of the crucifixion & so very moving. Very powerful stuff. I took some photos but it was so dark they havn’t turned out well but the atmosphere was incredible. Out of the thousands there, it was complete silence, a Mark of respect of Easter which reminds us there is no end, only a beginning & that life takes on a new meaning. Easter also heralds springtime, everything that is fresh & new. Whatever your doing over the holidays, have a magical time. Xx
24th April
Into our 3rd week in our new Spanish home. Pets are settled, we are settled, I am missing everyone, but looking forward to coming over at the end of May to see family & friends, then everyone landing on us in the summer holidays – can’t wait! Well, I’ve found out that nothing gets done quickly here, and I am getting used to it now. Bit by bit (Poco Poco) – we are getting there, and the villa is looking like home now we have put our stamp on it. Some furniture from the UK, and new furniture, all looks lovely. Will put ‘before’ & ‘after’ pics on soon, once everything has arrived. Still no internet, and still no car, but it matters not as I can pick the internet up from the cafe bar around the corner (yup, a couple of minutes walk), nice friendly place, and very handy lol! Making friends already, our neighbours are lovely but one set have their villa as a holiday home and went back last night. 8 of us went for a Chinese meal before saying goodbye, but we will see them again in the summer. I woke up this morning with a big smile on my face and thought why? then I realised, the sun was streaming in through the window, Celeste was curled up by my feet, John was already up and reading the English paper he’d got first thing, and I felt such peace… The only thing missing are my family & friends, but we will be able to Skype eventually until we can hug everyone in person. Virtual hugs will have to do for now! Weather is glorious every day, but Monday night we had an exciting storm. So dramatic, fork lightening, and one side of the sky bright blue – the other, very dark as the thunder clapped! It rained for about half an hour, then the ground was dry again, as if it had never happened. So very strange, but beautiful all the same. Hope you are all having a magical time wherever you are in the world, sending love, & angel blessings to each & every one of you, and see some of you in a couple of months time! Buenos dias, amigo’s!
27th April
Lazy Sunday stroll.around town & back for a sit on the roof in the sun – I have my fave spot! All I need now is a swing, & a cheeky vino in my hand. Having fresh strawberries bought from.the local market. Scrummy! My healing room is painted now a delicious shade of pale turquoise – so tranquil. Well can’t sit chatting for long (tapped into a neighbours internet lol!!)…naughty me. I have some Sun napping to do. Adios!
We’ve got our new car! & to celebrate our new arrival we went out for a meal with friends then for a dip in the pool. Bliss!!. I’m now relaxing on the balcony burning a massive citronella candle in the hope that the mosquitos will leave me alone while John watches the football. It’s so peaceful & warm out here with a gentle breeze. We are an hour ahead of the UK & it’s hard to think that here I am in my Jim jams sitting outside & I’m only 2half hours away by plane from friends & family in Cheshire. Incredible for 10pm.at night! Buenos Nochas from a relaxed Quirky Medium – Cheers!
