News but no nothing consequential

Here is the latest news on Nicholas who is now in Kyiv before he departs for Poland a long bus ride plus two flights etc . He enjoyed a nice shower etc after being with 13 people all of whom smoked, 13 cats (including the one who sleep with he named Gabrielle) plus two dogs. He should all being well be back in Gerrards Cross by 14th and hopefully enjoy a good long rest.  We will be posting picture of all the cats hopefully in a future post as he was not allowed to send photographs from there. We really admire his determination to return to help and hope he sorts out his own medical needs quickly without any problems.  
We are continuing with our Whats App Group which has now been running over two years started during the pandemic and now still going strong with members from Buckinghamshire, Kent, Somerset, Essex and London. 
We need to think about looking for a place to have a retreat which is inexpensive and within peoples financial constraints. So little money about now and everything seems to have risen in price. 
We have been continuing to campaigning for peace. The worry worms and hearts etc., have certainly helped to cheer a few people up. We have now got a lovely lady in Wales helping with our campaign. One day maybe people will realise “peace”  is worth more than “money” 
Decluttering is a slow process and my brother being in hospital has held us up even more as i seems to have spent so much time on the telephone with that and my own plus Daniel’s medical needs. The poor nurses are rushed off their feet and very short staffed. My glasses snapped in the middle and that has caused even more mayhem. 
I will be happier once we can sort out some new support stockings so my legs aren’t so swollen, but at least my feet are in better shape since seeing a lovely podiatrist called Jolene at the Downham Leisure Centre. We also got news of Petros too via her and he has established his own practice. Getting old has its disadvantages, but as I have said there are some who don’t have this privilege or they don’t want trouble makers like me on the other side. 
I am starting to feel that the days of spiritual churches is over and we need more spiritual communities with the same ethos as people like Les and Jacky Fuller, Alan Albiston, Diana Samuels, Michael Redwin, Alfred Hunt, Paul Bathgate  and Bruce Bayley. Being spiritual in my opinion is not just attending the church, but it’s a way of life and there is need for more empathy and compassion needed. I would be interested in hearing others views. On that note I will terminate this post and will update you on Nicholas’s return plus the cats reaction to him.

The world is changing, but people will always need a place of worship. It may not always be organised, but souls will always seek each other out to find that special place either in a hall or a home. Love of God and Spirit may take many forns; but there will always be love.

Agree Paul, not I think it will be ask a community group supporting one another as those in the perming members of groups such as the Shamanic group - you are a crow and fellow crows will support you. I am sure Les ahd Jacky would agree with me.
