WHAT WAS THE EXTRAORDINARY TREAT IN ROMFORD? IT WAS..

To be, literally, in the hands of someone whose level of expertise is beyond measure is truly a wondrous and extraordinary experience. And that, Dear Readers, is what she had as her treat in Romford on Wednesday.. an aromatherapy treatment.

The hands belong to Valerie Ann Worwood. this is the third time she has been 'treated' by her and each time her admiration for this woman grows. As does the admiration of two medical specialists to whom she has passed on certain pieces of information from Mrs. Worwood, she has 'found' two conditions that when passed onto her specialists, they checked, found to be correct and acted upon immediately!

She is, if you are unfamiliar with her name, the author of a series of books on the subject of essential oils. The Fragrant Pharmacy is, she thinks, the first in the series. She uses it a lot, reallyreally a lot, as her reference book for living a chemical-free life and thanks her darling Moley for introducing her to the book all those years ago.

Yesterday was Election Day here in the UK, she voted at one of our local schools and then walked on to work at the shop. Business was quiet, customers were few but it was pleasant to be able to spend a bit of time with those whom she knew who came in.

And as always, there is 'stuff' to do and to put out. The vitrine to dust and to replenish with items. The six cup saucer and plate sets had sold, they had been donated by her Lebanese friend and had been snapped up in a hurry, she was NOT surprised, for they would have made a very nice gift or addition to anyone's home.

I have, you'll be pleased to hear, ONE new top feather coming through on my tumtum, it will be two weeks tomorrow that she put this evil collar on me but I am happier.. for on Wednesday, I whistled my Telephone Song, aka the noise of the landline and a little bit of 'Farewell, adieu' from the Sound of Music! That was the first time for three weeks.. it made her happy and a bit wet-eyed.

Our weather is iffy, to say the least, it was sunny yesterday but bitterly cold out of the sun! We've had days with incredibly strong winds. There was an evil tornado in Northern Germany this week and several have 'danced' their wicked way across states in the USA.

She has to organise one of the three strong men to come down to the allotments to give her a quote for the clearance work and to sort out the wicked strimmer, which has always worked on the first pull and now refuses to.. why? He has been sitting doing nothing, how come he suddenly won't or doesn't want to work?

Machines are most peculiar, are they not! Just like us Parrots.. I thought I would say it first, as I know several of you will be thinking it! And now she's off to go and see if and what the results of the elections is / was.. stay tuned folks, we'll be back here either later today or tomorrow morning.

GeeGee Parrot.
