In the main, they retain their shell shapes, just modified.

I am open to the residual energy of "things" when I am really relaxed - as we are when we are enjoying ourselves on a buying spree at Malvern. The energy of this piece was SO overwhelming though.<br /><br />Whilst one Unit is being closed down, we have another elsewhere, so panic not. We still do Fairs too, and just absolutely love what we do.<br /><br />The property we like, we have been watching for a couple of months now. In some ways it is totally different to what we thought we wanted, as it is a lot more modern, but then we don't need the maintenance of a very old property any more and want to be closer to amenities too. We would like to go and view it . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-50280747451650848682017-01-24T05:49:50.125-08:002017-01-24T05:49:50.125-08:00sharie - I think we once had this "extra sens...sharie - I think we once had this "extra sense" so to speak - we have huge brains and I think a lot of the skills we needed as hunter-gatherers have been lost. Some remain, however, with some of us. It's a genetic thing too - middle daughter had it as a child (probably still does) and I could always finish eldest daughter's sentences for her!<br /><br />So so many deaths in WW1. My husband's g. grandfather didn't even GO to war, but took part in gas tests and died of TB a couple of years later . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-45824805298585830722017-01-23T22:17:47.974-08:002017-01-23T22:17:47.974-08:00I had never heard "trench art" either. ...I had never heard "trench art" either. probably a product of living in the states. <br /><br />Love the first pic with the squirrel .. theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621187880594813876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-6710111419711920282017-01-23T14:41:05.832-08:002017-01-23T14:41:05.832-08:00I takes something very compelling to have me on th...I takes something very compelling to have me on the road at 5 a.m. in any weather--and at that, I'd best not be the one driving. Combining an early start with being cold all day--no thank you! I used to drive with my boss/friend to the wholesale auto auctions and feel miserable all day with the cold. <br />What odd bits and pieces you've collected this time out! I've never heard the term 'trench art.' No doubt a hear-breaking story behind that piece.<br />The shabby little dog was obviously much beloved.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-84413524333867523812017-01-23T12:25:09.536-08:002017-01-23T12:25:09.536-08:00I'd submit that squirrel at the top to the dis...I'd submit that squirrel at the top to the disturbing, but hilarious "Crap Taxidermy" twitter accountSimon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-36192904669423267932017-01-23T11:05:45.703-08:002017-01-23T11:05:45.703-08:00I am intrigued to know what the trench art item is...I am intrigued to know what the trench art item is exactly.<br />Also I could not have resisted the dog either.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-35391079667616382232017-01-23T06:24:26.063-08:002017-01-23T06:24:26.063-08:00We went for a very short walk yesterday and it was...We went for a very short walk yesterday and it was so cold we came home pretty quickly!<br />What a very unusual piece of trench art, something you will never find again and the dog is a cutie and needs a cuddle! <br />Crossed fingers for selling/buying.

It may take a couple of tries but write anything down that you get. Do not forget to use all of your senses including smell feelings hearing taste etc. Its called psychometry and it is a way of improving the information you pick up. It cannot harm you it is just residual energy an imprint and the more you use it the better the quality of information. You are not making it up either. I am sorry about you having to close the unit such a real shame as I know you have a real affinity for this. What about using your blog to advertise items then list on ebay. I have another friend who does this and she seems to be doing not too badly. Just an idea. Do you think it may be serendipity intervening bringing a kind of closure on one thing and then seeing a potential property within the same time frame and a viewing to boot. I am thinking positive for you. The house will choose and when the timing is right a new door will open and everything will happen. Sometimes you have to dream things in. Fingers crossed and toes plaited for you both. Pattypan.

No idea if it was the name of the original owner or her doll but it hit me as hard as a truck.<br />Such a shame so many were killed in WWI, my nan lost her first husband, widowed at 19 and her cousin who died of injuries couple days after peace declared.shariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899435247762808267noreply@blogger.com
