Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and rainy. It is one week before Christmas, and I am beginning to wind down. The truth is that classes have been slower than usual since the beginning of December, but now they are even slower, and I am uncertain whether I like it or not. My lazy side likes it, but my […]
Sunday the 17th of December 2023: “Reflections on a Cold Sunday”!!!
It is cold; the day feels like night due to the darkness, and it seems to be trying to rain. Although it is not raining yet, it is attempting to. I was going to walk along the cut- the canal until I reached a place where I used to work for a man when I was 10 or 11 years […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, very cold, overcast, and almost rainy. When I decided to come to England to spend time with my mother, I never saw it as a holiday.

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, cloudy, and rainy.

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, cold, cloudy and slightly rainy. My mother had an end-of-year event at her spiritualist church, which she frequents. My mother is a medium. She studied and trained for many years and has lectured in different countries, not just in England, about spiritualism, clairvoyance, and mediumship for over twenty years. She’s doing less now because she […]
