While on Lindisfarne I’d received a message on my rather primitive mobile phone (this was 2014 after all) asking me if I could get some photos of Bodnant Food Centre in north Wales for magazine use. I’d been there a few weeks earlier for another visit, when photos weren’t required – that would serve as a recce visit so I knew roughly what I could get this time. Not exactly on my route home but as I was heading back via Derbyshire it would take me through the Cheshire Plain, an area I’d not visited before. I allowed a couple of days in the area, it was cloudy and raining the day I arrived so I’d allowed a couple of nights to be sure of getting the photos needed in the changeable weather that was forecast, plus I had to make contact with the centre manager for permission to photograph on site beforehand. All went well and with the photos in the can I had the following day spare to explore the area. There seemed to be a bit of a theme developing, I stayed at the Swallow Falls Hotel, so there was definitely a bird connection with the book of poetry. This was reinforced when I visited Bodnant Gardens and, while exploring, found myself at the Mausoleum at the far end of the gardens. It’s the resting place of the Victorian industrialist and the family mausoleum, known as The Poem, which linked back nicely to the gift I’d been given on Lindisfarne; but more than this it’s also known as the Place Of Eternal Memories, which connected with my channelling experience and a non-physical source of inspiration (memories).
