Hello everyone – a very tired DF here! Not my fault. So much going on at the moment. Just when you think its all calmed down, it all starts up again.
So what’s news then? Well my son Jamie turned up last Friday and stayed over. He came rather without warning and just phoned Della to say he was en route from Southampton and would be here in a couple of hours. So that was a nice surprise. In fact, it was even nicer when he produced a bottle of Jack Daniels and said . . . “Happy Birthday – sorry it’s a bit late!” Then we ordered a Chinese takeaway and managed to catch up on a few things – ‘till about 4am in the morning! But both he and Della had the weekend off, so it didn’t really matter.
Think I mentioned before (or I meant to) Della’s new book Haunted Highgate is with the publishers now, so hopefully that will give her more time to write fresh material for her Website now “Hidden Highgate”. She had to make the book a priority, however, as she was working to an agreed deadline, and I know she has a couple of radio interviews coming up which will coincide with the book’s release in a few months. One of them is for Gareth Davies’s “Paratalk” in Los Angeles and the other one’s for Mickey Gocool’s Podcast NLPI Radio based in London. She already did one for Mickey last Hallowe’en at the launch of her Website, and is case anybody missed that, it is still available from the archives at this link.
Oh, before I forget, let us offer out congratulations to Mickey and Louise who recently announced that they are to get married in June next year. It’s a fascinating story how they met . . . maybe I shouldn’t say anything, but sure he won’t mind! . . .
Mickey and I were both interviewed recently for “Its Fate” magazine, and the accidental meeting of the happy couple could well be described as Fate. For were it not for Louise’s car breaking down unexpectedly one afternoon, Mickey would never have seen a “gorgeous blonde” standing forlorn at the side of the busy motorway, and like a knight in shining armour stopped to help. Perhaps the fact that he fancied her encouraged him to drive her all the way to the nearest service station to fill up her petrol can before driving her back to the stranded car – and of course getting her phone number! Well Fate does have a funny way of helping us along sometimes, and now they have a beautiful family together and are planning their nuptials, as well as managing the ever-expanding North London Paranormal Investigations as a team effort. I am genuinely pleased for them, as they are a compatible, friendly and loyal couple who deserve all the happiness that Fate has brought them.
Well, that’s it for now, but look out for tomorrow’s Blog, because another event is imminent (and I’m talking about July) that involves the well-known paranormal historian Paul Adams, who is bringing out a VERY exciting new book. The event is being organised by David Saunderson of The Spooky Isles, who incidentally is being interviewed by Mickey and his co-presenter Kurt Logsdon this Friday (June 6th) on NLPI Radio. I’ll give you the details here tomorrow folks, and hope some of you can make it to his launch in London. We’ll be there anyway, but more on that very very soon.
Until tomorrow,
David
P.S. – that Jack Daniels was really good, thanks Jamie!
