For our first sit there we attached a wire across the corner
of the room with a curtain draped over it as a make-shift cabinet and we
blacked out the window with blankets. Not ideal and some light was getting in
but we were determined to sit.
Soon after starting Tob came through. The voices were weaker
than usual.
Tob… ‘Welcome, good good very good’
All… ‘Welcome to you’
Tob… ‘New house… we can fill with love and warmth, become
home, no longer house, become home…
We keep on working, speak later, I say to you much love from
our group for we are happy to be here and to work and to carry on forward for
the love of humanity, au revoir’
All… ‘Au revoir Tob’
Caroline had been seeing wonderful colours while Tob was
speaking and Daisy felt she wanted to get up and give Tob a hug…
Then Freddie came through…
Nick… ‘What do you think of our new room?’
Freddie… ‘I was going to ask you how you felt’
Daisy… ‘It’s a little bit strange but we’ll get used to it
and it’s our favourite colour too Freddie... yellow’
Freddie… ‘Yes I know darling, I had a little say in that.
I like your room. We will be very happy here and we’ll be
like the dog’s dinner darling. Yes there’s nothing to worry about’
Caroline… ‘I think some of us are very tired this evening,
especially Travis’
Freddie… ‘Well you know we ignore that darling ummm’
Daisy… ‘It’s old age Freddie’
Freddie… ‘It’s like a good vintage isn’t it dear… I will look
after you Neddie’
Travis… ‘Thank you’
Freddie… ‘Don’t flatter yourself’
Travis… ‘I can dream’
Freddie… ‘Some people go to extremes. I know the feeling
well… In for a penny, in for a pound darlings that’s what I always say...
Well it’s wonderful to be here again darlings. A little bit
of despondency amongst you all but it will become quite normal and I hope you
enjoy coming and mixing with us. We are firm friends and we are firm about the
road we would like to take for it can sometimes be an endurance test but with
your help and your love we will get there.
So darlings I think I’d better go now, we’re building up the
energies, love to you all… especially the boys’
All… ‘Au revoir Freddie’
After a bit of music we had a new communicator through
speaking very quietly…
‘Love one another… Examine your feelings at the end of your
day and be true to yourselves. Examine what you have done in your day’ (The
rest of this communication was too quiet to record properly but he talked about
the end of each day being an exam on our lessons learnt during the day)
There was another communicator trying to speak but couldn’t
quite manage it. Then Tob came through to start the communication which was
then carried on by someone else. This would often happen when communicators
were having difficulties, either Tob, Freddie or Sparrow would begin to speak
and allow another to take over…
Tob… ‘Sometimes the road is not easy… (voice changed to that
of a woman) …for you are just at the beginning. The road twists and meanders and
it has it’s ups and downs. Sometimes you have to go through darkness to get to
the light but so do most people. You are no different, you are all going to the
light. Some people do take different highways and byways, that is their prerogative
but I can only say to you that as you wander the roads, the avenues, the lanes,
enjoy… for it is an experience. Don’t become old and tainted. Look at things in
a positive way and you will find that you will be a cheerful and loving
individual and that is my message’
All… ‘Thank you very much’
Tob... ‘Tob’
Nick… ‘Hello again Tob, are you back with us?’
Tob… ‘Yes, we have very short energy yes, I wish you well
and until we meet again and enjoy one another… au revoir’
All… ‘Au revoir Tob’
