Traumatic experience

 This video resonates with me. Jennifer talks about how the plandemic affected her. 

In March 2020, the WHO officially declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.In May 2023, the WHO declared an end to the public health emergency of international concern. Here’s what happened along the way.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

I remember going to the small Tesco store to do my shopping because I had heard horror stories about the one way system in the big store.

I had a small basket of purchases as I approached the checkouts. I stepped forward a couple of feet while I was waiting, to browse the alcohol shelves, thinking I might buy a bottle of beer. A woman who was in front of me turned round and glared at me. She looked down and pointed to the arrows on the floor, and looked up at me. She said, 'they are there for a reason' . She was telling me to keep my distance. I didn't answer back because that is not my style. I did not understand what all the fuss was about. I felt hurt and embarrassed. I waited my turn to be served, but I never went back to that shop again. 

I did eventually give the big Tesco a try, thinking it can't be that bad. Big shop, plenty of space, I will try not get too close to people. It was like a military operation. Follow the arrows, do not go the wrong way. They had security staff at the end of each aisle watching that everyone was following the rules. I wanted to miss an aisle and go straight to the next one because I only wanted one more item. I walked past him and went to the dairy fridge and got my yogurt. Is this how it's going to be forever. When will this madness stop.

I decided I am not going through that again and changed my shopping habits. From then on I only shopped at Aldi at 9pm at night. I tried wearing a mask, just the once, but that was too traumatic for me. After that I wore a lanyard exempting myself. I need to breath, I am not covering my face. 

I was beginning to think my life was coming to an end. It's not worth living if this is how it is going to be forever. The only relief I had was to walk out into the countryside every day. Walking alone through the fields. I always imagined that lockdown is a term used when prisoners were confined to their cell. I am not in a prison. So I will carry on with my life, and just keep away from people. 

I thought, I can manage this, I will get through it. I watched and listened to what comes next. People were queuing up to get some kind of treatment, which they said will get rid of this bug that's going around. Roll your sleeve up and we'll stick a needle in your arm. Then came the news that it won't be just one small prick, there will be lots more to follow. 

I didn't let on in the beginning, that I was not going to get the treatment. If I told anyone they would hate me. And they did. Eventually I did speak about it. I lost count of how many people told me I must. They insisted I have to. They still hate me to this day. 

My friends, what few I had left, told me that they will get all the jabs available. They were eager to get a swab stuck up their nose, One friend had to go to hospital because they shoved the testing stick that far up it broke through a membrane. She had to get a blood vessel cauterised to stop the bleeding. Thank goodness I had already decided not to go down the testing route. 

The bullying and coercion from the Government, the NHS, and everyone else, continued for a long time. It was ramped up. Why were they pushing so hard. It went on and on. I began to see a division in friends and families. People in heated arguments. No socialising, no visiting in each others homes, people physically backing away from me. It happened in my family. I had virtually no contact with my sister, except for the odd phone call. Then four years ago she cut off all communication between us. Those years were lost, and when we did start speaking to each other it was too late. Her and her husband took all the jabs. I wish she had listened to me. I blame the Government for her death. The plandemic did exactly what it was supposed to do, drive a wedge between families and friends.   

Here's another one from Jennifer. I like this woman. 

The aftermath. What happened has definitely left it's mark on me. Just as I was enjoying my retirement my life was turned upside down. I will never forget those bleak years. Yes, things have moved on, but that is not the end of the story. There will be more upheavals, as those rich and corrupt people will dictate the next wave of fear to spread throughout the world. Be ready. 

Now I am going to collect my car from the garage. They lent me a Honda Jazz to come home in. I won't be buying one. 😬

Keeping things tidy.

 When I've spent the morning doing jobs around the house I get cabin fever and must go out. I weigh up the options while having lunch, then a decision is made. And today, litter picking won. My Industrial Estate is looking pretty tidy these days since I have been doing regular checks. My previous pile has been collected, so now I start another one. I am getting a bit low on red bags so I am adding a black bag now and again. They are bigger and hold a lot more. My reported fly tip hasn't been cleared away yet


Car into the garage tomorrow morning. It's getting a diagnostics check. There is a warning light on, hopefully they can rectify the problem. 

Only seen one hedgehog tonight, and that was a fat one.

Ask Andy

 Bernie asks. . . . . . 

Seriously people .... Stop being blinded and distracted by ridiculous infighting. It doesn't matter and it isn't helping. Do this instead. Ask serious questions.

▪️How exactly will you deport large numbers of illegal migrants? Airlines? The military? How many flights would it take to deport 1 million people? ▪️What happens when the country of origin refuses to let planes land or refuses to take people back?

▪️What will you do about unemployment as AI starts replacing huge sections of white collar work? ▪️You say you support AI. Why? What is the benefit to ordinary people? And how will you fund the grid expansion required to run it?

▪️What will you do about the BBC? Keep the licence fee? Scrap it? Privatise it? Replace it with what?

▪️What will you do about benefits? What exactly will be cut and when? And how do you win the next election when millions are poorer in the short term? and the long term has fewer jobs?

▪️What will you do about adult social care? Fully fund it? Means test it? Leave families to carry the burden? How will ordinary people afford it as we all get older and the population declines?

▪️What is your plan for universities? International student numbers are already falling. Will you let universities collapse? Bail them out? Replace £ billions in lost revenue how exactly? accommodation, local industry, loans etc ? have you got a plan?

▪️What happens when people become progressively poorer and angrier during the “transition period” your promise will eventually improve things? What is your public order plan then?

▪️What is your plan for prisons? You say you will deport foreign offenders. To where? What happens when countries refuse to take them back? You say “withhold trade.” Fine. What if we need their oil, gas, minerals or supply chains?

▪️What is your plan for free speech? Will people still be allowed to fundamentally disagree with government policy or will disagreement simply be relabelled “misinformation” in line with international frameworks and consensus bodies?

Answers on a postcard please to Bernie.

Food for thought on a Thursday morning in September.

Gallery at Doddington Hall.

 Casting my mind back to Friday the 28th of August, I was at Doddington Hall. There was a lot to see, the Outdoor Sculptures, inside the hall, the walled gardens, the kitchen gardens, a walk around the lake, and the fabulous Farm Shop. These are the last photo's to post. The indoor Gallery. 

I love this one. Created by Ruth Moilliet. It is called Eryngium. It will cost you £18,500. Aluminum and stainless steel. 


Bradley Parrott created Falco. £1,100 if you want to buy it. 
Seamus Moran created this artwork. His mediums are resin, iron, steel, leather, and brambles. The price of this is £10,000. 
The Monarch of the Stag was created by Andy Carr. It is made by repurposing cutlery. 

Rachel Ducker created this wire figure with blow away hair. There was a big version outside near the entrance, plus several smaller versions in the Gallery. This life size sitting lady will set you back £6,200. The smaller versions are £490 each. 

That's caught up with the 2026 visit to Doddington Hall. 
My previous visits can be seen in these posts. 

This morning I went to Coffee Morning at the club, then I went to the Retail Park to stock up on cat food and some other bits and bobs. I was going to do some litter picking but it was raining. 
I wonder what tomorrow will bring. 
Apologies for the comments hiatus, but I am enjoying the freedom of not having to referee the nitpicking nasties. I can see that people are still reading so that's fine by me. Everyone is welcome.

A new picture finished

It's been a while, since I started making flowers. Didn't know how many to make, or what I was going to do with them. I put stems on them because they would look nice as a bunch in a vase. Then I changed my mind and removed the stems by unpicking the stitching. I thought a picture would be a better idea. I already had this frame. I have put them under glass. It measures 12.5 inches by 15.5 inches. Each flower is stitched onto the background through the centre of the button, and on the tip of each petal. 





Now that's done and dusted I need to start looking for another idea to keep my sewing fingers busy. 
I did an Aldi shop at 8pm tonight, and I must say it is a lot more pleasurable to do it later, rather than playing dodge the trolleys. Remember that lockdown thingy when I went at 9pm. I might go back to that routine again. 
Signing off for tonight. More tomorrow. Toodle pip.   ilona

Finders keepers.

Bank Holiday Monday, and I went back to the Pond to do a full circuit with my picking stick and a trolley. I was here on Sunday and did a walk with Florian, the Romanian driver who is parked up here over the weekend. I saw the mess left over from the picnicking and had to do something about it. Florian will be on the move sometime today. After loading up he will be heading for the Dover Calais crossing, on his way to France. 
On the edge of the pond I found this colourful blanket. Heavy and soaking wet after the storms we have had. I carefully opened it hoping that I was not going to find a dead animal inside of it. You never know.
It's really quite beautiful. Why someone would just leave it there, I don't know. Mind you after seeing pictures of the Leeds Festival aftermath, it is heartbreaking seeing so many abandoned tents. Then you think about those thousands of people who have lost everything in the landslide floods. It is shocking that entitled westerners have so little regard to their throwaway lives. 
I picked all around the Pond, and a little bit more up and down the roadside verges. I folded the blanket and left it with my pile, in an open top bag. I hope someone comes along and takes it home with them. 

Tuesday morning and it is a sunny start. I must go to Aldi today, running low on food.

She won.

 

Katie Hopkins
One ‘man’ and his relentless campaign to cancel my shows found GUILTY on all FOUR counts of blackmail. To the 27 venues who caved to the actions of this one criminal, it is time for my SOLD OUT shows reinstated. To those who try to cancel venues, your behaviour is criminal. I will come for you. Katie Hopkins. Reclaiming the public square. Like a bloody ninja. No lawyer. No GoFundMe. No messing


Go Katie.

Imminent crash

 

Catherine Austin Fitts
“Supervising” your savings is not protection. It is control dressed up as policy. When they move from banking your money to directing it, you are no longer the owner in any meaningful sense.

Listen to Von der Leyen, read the subtitles.  It has been on the cards for some time. The EU, the Globalists want our money. 

Catherine Austin Fitts
Your savings are not safe. When leaders talk about “securitizing” and “supervising” your accounts, they’re talking about control. Europe should pay attention. Europeans thought they were safe. They're coming for your savings, Europe. You will own nothing and be happy.

David Rogers Webb
JUST IN - EU President Ursula von der Leyen says that people's savings accounts are a problem and that she must put this money "to the service of European companies" says her plan to "securitize them" and "supervise them" They're coming for your savings, Europe.

David Rogers Webb
We're arriving at that precise moment. The money in your account will be gone. If you still keep cash in the bank, you will rue the day the engineered crash hits. That money was never yours to keep; it was lent to you by a system. You will own nothing and be happy.
Quote

@austin_fit76995
Listen very attentively. Your bank account balance is a promise they never intended to keep. When the engineered crash arrives, the numbers will blink to zero and your calm will shatter. If you still trust the bank with your cash, you haven't learned anything from previous cycles

Listen to Whitney Webb
