I have been roped in to volunteer for the Trent to Trenches project that the Nottingham Castle is doing to mark the 100 years since the war in 2014 and basicaly what i need is if anyone has any memories handed down from relatives such as medals , letters, diaries so i can pass these on to my cordinator who will then contact you also names of Soldiers who served in the war and what regement they served in all these items will be displayed in the Castle in 2014, i know its a lon way away but given the amount of work we will have to do time will soon go

Had a visit from our little spirit girl last nite, even tho the heating was on and the room was warm my legs and knees were icy cold the rest of me was warm even to the extent of me wanting to take my cardi off, it only lasted for about 10mins. I do a lot of dowsing if i need answers this should only be used for good and you should never ask for money, its ok to ask it if your finances will improve in the future it takes time to get the hang of dowsing and to work out the meaning of things. I know this may sound strange to some of you but have any of you met your spirit guide? 2 years ago i had a phychic reading and the medium told me my spirit guide was an arab and he was showing her a spinx, now 2 days before i had this reading i was in town shopping when i saw a man dressed in arab clothes it was a raw cold day and he had no coat, also no-one was taking any notice of him, any way 2 hours later i saw him again on the same street in exactly the same place when i asked her about it she said it was my spirit guide and i was the only one to see him this stopped me in my tracks somewhat its as if he wanted me to know he was looking after me, and i know he is, i am quite a good judge of character and can pick up on peoples feelings quite well

i volunteer at the Brewhouse as well have been there today doing research in the archives it is a bleddy disgrace i love going round there that councilor wants to get back to reality and come back to the real world

These beautiful old buildings will no longer be open to the public from April due to yet more cuts by our council, at the moment they are open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and if you go to the Castle on a weekend and you buy a ticket to enter you get in the Brewhouse for free as on a weekday if you live in the Nottingham area you get in for a £1. This councilor who will remain nameless has decided it is costing too much to keep open and he will save in the region of £40,000 a year off their budget no prizes for guessing where that money is going to go ................. These buildings have been standing proud since the 1600s they are well matained and full of history, now they will only open them to school parties and if they can get a group of people over 10 in number to look around
When i volunteer at the Castle we get a lot of visitors from overseas mainly the states and they always say how nice it is too see our old buildings and museums we lost our costume museum not so long ago and our lace shop and they are both up for sale now

How do you know, sometimes they can appear as solid as a living person, i remember on a holiday to cambridge a few years ago i took a snap of an old street which was quite empty of people at the time this was taken on a panasonic camera the sort where you had to take the film in to be developed and when the snaps came back the figure of a woman all in black was standing at the edge of the pavement. I have also heard someone walk up my stairs and when i have gone up to look no one has been there this has happened when i have been in the house on my own. We have a music box on the shelf which was a gift from my friend in the states and it hasnt been wound up for well over a year and suddenly it started playing it was an Elvis song and at the same time a picture of Elvis fell off the wall as i said its all normal to me and if they werent around it would feel strange

The house i live in is 112yrs old and has 6 spirit people i wont call them ghosts 3 adults and 3 children one of the adult spirits lived here in 1933 and its her i feel the most she strokes the back of my head sometimes and she is a lovely soul her name is Nelly, the other adult is George who used to have a busniess here before the house was built i always smell smoke when he is around he usually brings his son to visit as well the spirit children, one of them is a little girl she likes to take things usually my Daughters jewellery then i have to ask her to bring it back and one ended up in my handbag, the other two are boys i dont sense them as much but i always know when they are around the door at the bottom of the stairs will close on its own lightbulbs have exploded and sometimes i feel a breeze go right past me also i have heard noises like coughing and whistling and once i heard a childs voice shout Nelly they are all gentle souls and i am not frightened by them at all. I have seen orbs around and bright lights and about two nights ago i saw two little bright lights just above my knee then my knees went icy cold so i guess it was the little girl sitting with me in the chair . This is all normal to me so it dosent bother me at all i quite like them being around

The castle was never actually lived in as such the old Duke used it to have all his parties and balls there to show off i suppose i know it dosent look like a Castle but there are parts of it that are very interesting such as the little room i do my volunteering in its called The South Bastian its where the POWs were interred during the war there is a storyboard in there showing a picture of some of them putting barbed wire around the Castle there is also lots of grafitti ( sp sorry ) on the walls from the soldiers that were stationed there and from the POWs as well such as marks on the wall like they are saying how long they have been there

A leg and a wing 2 people would each take hold of an arm and a leg each and swing you up and down while chanting a leg and a wing to see the king a one a two and a great big three then they would let go of your legs at the highest point and wait for the drop and hopefully you landed on your feet
