Prediction

If you're near a newsagent's shop, pick up a copy of September's edition of Prediction magazine, which features my folklore article, Say It with Flowers.

Prediction is one of the UK's premier New Age publications, and has been in circulation since 1937, which is quite an achievement in the fickle world of magazines!

It's available from all main UK newsagents, or on-line at Prediction magazine.

anniversary dinner

nobody@vox.com(Adele) — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 10:58:13 +0000

Adele

We enjoyed an excellent meal at The Devon Doorway in Heswall. The contemporary restaurant is tastefully arranged, with comfortably spaced polished tables in a series of alcoves. The cuisine was of a faultless standard, and when we discovered that everything on the desert menu contained dairy products the chef quickly offered an alternative choice which – like the main meal – was beautifully presented.

The occasion was, of course, Hallowe’en – which is also our anniversary. Time is a funny old thing, don’t you think? We fell to the predictable subject of how long we’ve been together and of the experiences this has brought. So many people told us, at the outset, that our relationship wouldn’t work, that we were too different. We are, in all truth, two very different people; two highly independent, individualistic people. And yet here we are, still together and happily so. In fact, these-days we get along better than ever.
