Just thought I should tell you everyone that I have NOT stopped doing my Blog here. It may seem like it because of the last date, but it is still very much on my mind to keep it updated as far as is interesting.
Problem is: I have been working on three separate projects this past month and it is sometimes difficult to ‘break’ off’ from either one of them to write this to my Diary. (Well, as I have said in the past, I consider this to be more of a ‘Diary’ as opposed to a Blog!). As it is, I have to ‘fill in’ with other things as well, which includes to deal with some rather silly people (by way of their of their replies) who just can’t seem to get over the 45-year-old Highgate ‘vampire’ case and my past involvement in this at the time.
I am taking a quick break at the moment though, as really need a break from the screen, and can ‘stop and start’ as I want to without worrying about something getting finished.
So what’s news apart from that?
Well we had a pleasant surprise on Saturday when my friend Katherine from Scotland paid us a visit. She used to live in Muswell Hill but had a few days off from college to visit friends in London. She brought Della a beautiful bunch of red roses and myself, an equally welcome bottle of Bordeaux red wine. She was here for a couple of hours so we had plenty of time to catch up with everything. I was pleased to learn that she’d still been checking my Blog – in fact that’s what probably prompted me into getting back to it.
Still getting calls and emails in asking me to give interviews on the paranormal or help with different student projects. I try never to decline any, although I have had to put a few ‘on hold’ for a couple of months and tell the people they’ll just have to get back to me then. Of course I will honour any I have already committed to but just can’t take on any more work until this other business has been sorted out. But at least the Summer is not too far away now, and that does make things a lot more comfortable – especially travelling too far with my bad back.
Talking of Summer, I’ll be glad when I can start buying my strong 10% beer once again. Its just not so enjoyable in the winter, in the cold months.
Some good news in yesterday though from somebody wanting to know if past issues of our 1997 publication “Suspended in Dusk” are still available. I have since answered him, but for the sake of people here . . . yes they are! “Suspended” was quarterly and ran to 6 issues from ’97 and was the official magazine of the Highgate Vampire Society. The only one that completely sold out was No 4 (and this probably helped by the fact that it has a skimply-clad ‘witch’ on the cover!), but we can still make one up for printing if anybody is interested. Please just send me a PM here giving your email and I will gladly send the postage details.
So, that has given me a nice little break before I have to return to more mundane matters. But has to be done so I must say goodbye to everyone. But I’ll be back soon and promise not to leave it so long next time!
David (Farrant).

Please could you save me the issues of “Suspended” including No4 please Mr Farrant. I shall collect in person when down in London. Should you require monies for this set then please email the amount, and I will forward a cheque ASAP. Thank you Deborah
