I get this feeling but only when I'm really upset about something. When I was six my mum was planning on taking me to meet my gran for the first time. About a month before we were due to fly, my mum got word that my gran (her mum) had died. The trip was bought forward and on the morning of the funeral, I went from playing with my cousins to crying uncontrollably for hours. I cried the whole way through the service and slept the rest of the day. For years after my mum would tell me she dreamt about me with my gran, me as a baby with my gran watching over my cot. So now when I'm feeling low and I get that feeling of a shiver (without the shake), I like to think that it's my gran's there comforting me.


Weirdly, my little one once told me that as she passed my bedroom door, she saw an old lady standing over me watching me sleep!

I wish the bloody living would leave me alone when I'm, er, communing with nature. One imagines that a guardian angel might at least have the decency to turn its back, and certainly not bounce up and down and ask to sit on one's lap and enquire exactly what one might be doing.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
