V is for Vanish

Published on December 14, 2010, by in Confessions.

Monday mornings at school were never memorable, pretty much like any other day at High School.  And yet I can vividly recall one Monday morning in September as if it were yesterday. I was 15 at the time and the whole school year (back in those days it was the 5th form – just like

U is for Uzume

Published on December 7, 2010, by in Confessions.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. no wait, that’s Star Wars.  Let’s start again. A long time ago in the beautiful lands of Japan the sun goddess Amaterasu gave daylight to the Earth.  One day she quarrelled with her brother, a storm god, who tore down her sacred temples and killed

T is for Terrible Things

Published on November 30, 2010, by in Confessions.

Terrible things come out at night, Screeching and squealing in pure, evil delight. Terrible things like the Banshee cry, Letting folk know someone is soon to die. Terrible things like the werewolf howl, A warning he’s hungry and on the prowl. Terrible things like the vampire in bat form fly, Looking for a victim to

Q is for Queenstown Road

Published on November 10, 2010, by in Confessions.

Queenstown Road is in Battersea, South London and really isn’t anything special.  It’s busy 24/7 with cars, buses and people.  And yet to me it will always be a very important place in my life. My late grandparents lived in a flat on Queenstown Road for as long as I knew them.  My Granddad passed

P is for Phooka

Published on November 2, 2010, by in Confessions.

Yesterday, 1st November, is the Day of the Phooka. The Phooka is a Celtic spirit, with Scandinavian origins, which is particularly active from Samhain to Beltane,  after that I guess it hibernates for summer.  You’ve probably encountered a Phooka before in the guise of Harvey from the 1950 James Stewart movie of the same name.

O is for Obituary

Published on October 26, 2010, by in Confessions.

Death plays such an important role in the celebrations this time of year so I thought I’d dig around a little (not in a graveyard sort of way) and find some suitable obituaries. I wonder if these people would be happy with the write ups? Count Gottfried von Bismarck Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who died

N is for Never

Published on October 20, 2010, by in Confessions.

If you’ve ever spent any time exploring the law of attraction, affirmations,  hypnotherapy or such like you’ll soon discover the theory that our brains don’t process negative commands.  An example is telling a child not to do something  and within minutes they’re doing exactly what they’re not meant to (or least that’s the way it

M is for Mundania

Published on October 12, 2010, by in Confessions.

I had quite a few things planned in my head for this post.  Like masks and monsters and mud wrestling (not really the last one – I just said it in case my husband reads my blog). But my last remaining brain power has almost been zapped by a day in Mundania. What’s Mundania for

L is for Lyn

Published on October 7, 2010, by in Confessions.

Depending on which baby name book you pick up Lyn can either mean pretty, ‘from the flax hill’, ruddy complexion  or  water and the origins are either Spanish, English or German.  I don’t think anyone really knows. My name is short.  It is just 3 letters and not a shortened version of Lynda or Lynette
