Got the Garden bug?
Today I managed a little bit of time in my front yard. I had the urge to plant bulbs for spring. So I went out to the shops and bought some good old King Alfred Daffodils and some Snowdrops. They are just perfect to mass plant under trees. So off I went into the front yard to have some fun. I lose all track of time when I get into a garden. I am such a big kid really.
I have 3 Elm trees and 3 Prunus trees (Ornamental Plumbs) 1 Chinese Pistachio tree and a young Pittosporum. The Elms have Hellebore's planted under them in various colours and I already had some Snowdrops. So I had to keep the balance and needed to plant more Snowdrops. Then just a few Daffie's randomly planted to add something fragrant and pretty. These bulbs can be left in the ground for many years.
So I can enjoy heaps more growing over the years.
Ideally I would love the look of a magical woodland for my front yard. Gardens are always a work in progress though. So who knows maybe one day It might just get the look that I am trying to create.
It would be nice to have garden ornaments there too but thieves would just knock them off. What a shame.
Still the back yard is getting a wonderful look happening as I write this post. I spend more time in the back garden than the front. I like it being private. My shrubs in the front yard are still young so I don't have a proper hedge row happening yet. Eventually I shall have a very nice evergreen hedge row of Viburnums and Photinia.
When I start naming all my plants and shrubs, I suddenly realise that I have quite a variety. I haven't even mentioned the lavender's, Choicia or Spirea (double flowering May), Nerines and my little carpet roses etc and that is only in my front yard. Not that I am obsessive with my garden or anything lol.
I was once told by an old friend that when one gets the "gardening bug", that's it you are a dedicated gardener for life. I am very happy to say that it is true. What a wonderful way to pass the time. There are some truly beautiful gardens in and around Canberra. We are a city of gardeners. Australia was named a few years ago as one of the biggest nations of gardeners. Not surprising with our weather.

Kabbalist Doctrine Explains World Events
http://www.henrymakow.com/the_destuctive_principle_of_th.html
Have a read at this. I have intuitively never liked the Kabbalah myself, I have never really had the time to research why though, as I have so much to do in my every day life as a wife and mother etc etc etc. Annnnnnnd all my pets ).
Update: My advice to all, is stay right away from the Kabbalah, it is satanic and the high level initiates pray to Lucifer the light bearer. Give this the flick for your own good please.
All is not well and never has been with this practice. Bad things can come your way once you go down this path and can wreck havoc on your life literally. It does not at all surprise me that Freemasonry is based on this. Most Freemasons in low ranks are not fully aware of this. But up at the very top things are very different. It is very dark indeed, why else would you see the likes of G W Bush involved? Like I say the average person in the Masons is good at heart. They do have a veiled threat over their heads not to divulge anything too on pain of death.
One friend of mine has had their life turned upside down. To the point of being in fear for their safety due to dabbling with the Kabbalah. I don't think the penny has fully dropped because my friend still studies this occult lifestyle. My friend just puts it down to evil Archons. Of course archons are involved, they work in tandem, with the group that gave this curse to humanity.

Childhood in a Historical Town
My Early Childhood in Scotland was rather interesting. My family moved quite a bit, and I got to live in interesting places. Scotland is full of interesting and colourful history, like most countries.
I lived for a while in the industrial town of Motherwell. Nothing to jump up and down about unless you like history. We have a haunted house by the name of Dalzeil House (pronounced Dee L), it is also known as Gresham House too. These days it is beautifully converted into apartments.
It is more like a small castle than a house. Dalzeil house played a vital part in history over the centuries, including the times of Mary, Queen of Scots. This place has hidden panels in the walls like most castles do and underground tunnels to escape from enemies. I would give my eye teeth for a tour of this place.
The Tomb at the Covenanter's Graveyard in Cambusnethan.
UPDATE 23 December 2018
Above is the memorial stone of Robert Paterson, ( Old Mortality in the Sir Walter Scott novel of the same name) 1715 -1801, a stonemason and Presbyterian who spent 40 years of his life traveling around Scotland to all the covenanter's graves to carve a memorial to the people that lost their lives fighting for their cause.
His memorial stone in in Balmaclellan down in Dumfries and Galloway in the Scottish borders. This information came from the Scottish Covenanter's Facebook page. If any one is interested in Scottish history then you will find this page very interesting.

There is also the famous Covenanter's Graveyard in Cambusnethan a few miles up the road next to some land owned by my grandparents. We played and explored there too. As a child I used to see some of these men watching us in spirit. I saw them with their women folk walking in a long group, and they looked ragged and battle weary. I would say starving too. Some of them had violent deaths. They fought for their religious freedom against the King. They came off second best unfortunately.
My grandfather on my mother's side knew the then Lord Gavin Hamilton, that lived there during my mother’s childhood. My Mother passed down many stories of the old house to me. It is also well documented in history books. I spent a lot of time with my friends playing in the grounds of this old house. I have lovely old photos of the place from my child hood. The Hamilton family are part of Scottish nobility connected to the Stewart royalty.
I remember the stables there being used for the local riding school. I used to go down to visit the horses quite often. During the Autumn months, my friends and I would pick Chestnuts to play conkers with. In the summer I loved to pick Rhododendron's for my mum. Living near the old house was an idyllic childhood. There was plenty to explore and hours of fun. The house was surrounded by a lovely big woods. Great for playing games in those days. The gardens were beautiful. I wanted to stay there for hours on end but alas, when the other kids were leaving I had to go too. I envy the gardeners getting to work there. What a joy that would be. My only psychic experiences at this place were seeing ladies in the garden during what looked like tea parties. There were two timeless though, one set of spirits were in clothing of the 15th or 16th century and the second lot looked like early 20th century clothes. I would have been around 7 or 8 years old at the time. I didn’t realise what was happening until years later. That is energy imprints that I tuned into without knowing what was happening. This happened to me often at that age and I assumed I was just daydreaming.
I have been reading an old book about the Covenanters this week, The Scottish Covenanters written by Rev James Barr. Memories of oral history come back to me and of the feelings of the Scottish people. The there are many of these types of grave yards all over Scotland.
The one where I lived was vandalised by the 1970's by hooligans. It is rather disgusting to vandalise a grave, but what would these young thugs and drunks care about what these men fought for, whether it is right or wrong. These were brave men that gave their lives for what they believed in.

The next place on my "play ground" was Cambusnethan Priory House. Now this is a very dark and evil place. I was talking to an old friend on Facebook about this place last week. He was there last week and said that he got a horrible feeling come over him as he walked around the ruin. He had no desire to go in there.
This old Priory house has a long and dark history. The house was built in 1819/20 for the Lockhart family designed by architect James Gillespie Graham. By the way the house that was on the sight prior to this one was burned down in 1810. Which was replaced by the current one, that is now in ruins.

John Gibson Lockhart the biographer and son in law, of Sir Walter Scott was born in this house. There are stories of murder done in this house by the minister Rev Lockhart who lived there. There are stories in the town of him having fathered children with his servants. The children of the servants were said to have been murdered by him.
All I know is that there have been satanic goings on in the old house over the years. This is an area of Scotland famous for this kind of stuff. The suburb of Gowkthrapple just up the road from there had stories of weird goings on and ghost sightings back in the early 1970's. The land that the houses are built on is old farm property which may have belonged to the owners of the Cambusnethan Priory House.

I think the Strathclyde area in Scotland is one of the most interesting places historically speaking there is so much over there to see. I love getting my teeth into the old history, which for us Scots, is still living history. Hamilton, near Motherwell has many houses and monuments to see, not forgetting Bothwell Castle and Bothwell Brig (bridge). My parents took both my brother and I to see these places in our historical tours too. There was the famous battle of Bothwell Brig in 1679.
I shall have to rack my brains to think of all the places that I went to to as a child. My parents took my brother and I on regular visits around Scotland when the weather was good. It was such a magical time for me living over there. The Campsie Hills and the Lead Hills were not far by car and we had day trips there in the summer to get out and climb the hills and run ourselves ragged, lol.
I was always champing at the bit to get out doors and explore anything in the countryside or historical places. To this day I love this kind of stuff. I have a nice collection of Scottish and British history books that I treasure dearly. I like to reflect on them from time to time.

There is an old Roman foot bridge or brig as we call it, in one of the local parks. It's a funny little thing with no sides to it. Unless you knew the area you might not even notice it. When I saw it back around 1982, I would have been about 19 at the time. I remember being annoyed that kids had vandalised the old brig.
It seemed that every Summer my parents took us to Stirling Castle too. Wow, what a fantastic place to visit. I enjoyed this place so much. I would dearly love to see it again. This place is massive, with so much to see. It would take a whole day to go through it. I highly recommend this place. Wallace's Monument is just near by and is a must see. Hell, why not just go visit Scotland itself and do a historical tour.
The tourist season starts in March right through to the end of September. It is a sad but riveting history full of mystery and intrigue. Forget the famous 5 mysteries, lol. This stuff is real.

Another area that I was taken to see is Banockburn, where the famous battle took place with Robert the Bruce in 1314. From there we would then head for the highlands. Fantastic countryside all the way.
I remember going to Glenncoe, where the massacre took place between the MacDonald Clan and the Campbell Clan. This place makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. The atmosphere there is so eerie. It is very picturesque scenery but the overwhelming feeling of grief is nauseating and distressing to those that are highly sensitive to the vibes there.

I was about 15 years old the last time I was there. But I will never forget that awful feeling of death and sadness there. That was one of my earliest psychic experience's with the suffering of others. There is a lone piper there playing for the dead. It is a very moving experience.
