From a new life in spain, to an old life in britain, 'roaming brit' documents uncertain times!

Picture

On 31st January 2016, my partner and I left Southampton to start a new life as Expats in Gran Alacant, on the Costa Blanca. This blog will document our journey, as we navigate the Spanish system, travelling a path untried and untested. With Brexit looming, political turmoil in Europe and an unpredictable future, harsh decisions have to be made. Illness, family bonds and a Change of heart all make for challenging times in a life of a 'Roaming Brit!'

Charlatan or Confidant? - Part 1

Reliving events, that brought us to spain.
My Dead nan will pay a visit!

Picture

At the end of March, 2015, after  suffering at the hands of my sociopathic boss, I was signed off sick.  About a month later I received communication from a work colleague, I will call her Penny, another Manager like me, who also worked in our region. I was not in the habit of having work friends on facebook, so although she could message me, she could not add me. It was a professional decision, not to add people, who I worked alongside. 

This was a strange message, where Penny talked of being a medium and currently in contact with my dead Grandmother,  Now I am a firm believer in mediums, am a Palmist myself and have a keen interest in tarot, but something didn't quite ring true.  At the time I was recovering from a Bipolar relapse and I suppose was at a vulnerable point in my life. From the advice I have taken since, I was told I was more open to suggestion, at this stage.

Whilst working for the charity, that caused me so much pain, I was told to keep my distance from Penny, by my boss, but was never given a reason why.  I always kept away from her and avoided conversation. This 'psychic message', was a way for her to get to me, to have me invite her into my life, at a time, when I should have been getting well; this woman was trying to finally become my friend; it worked! Darrell told me to trust her;  I still had doubts, but followed his advice.

I am including a transcript of her opening messages to me and my reply. I was amazed by what she was saying, it was my Grandmother, every word of it!  I am writing about this, well and in fine fettle, and as I realised a long time ago, the information she gave me, were the words I had written online in a blog entry a little time before, I was just too ill to realise.

OR WAS IT?  WAS SHE ACTUALLY GENUINE?

As a 'believer', I still want to trust what she said was bona fide and she had my best interests at heart,  The counsel I was given, suggested she was a charlatan, probably sociopathic, like our boss and used her position, knowledge, Darrell's acceptance and perceived power to infiltrate my life further, cause maximum harm and get away with what she did.

There are  authentic psychics and mediums out there.  I have seen a few and know a couple.  This person used others vulnerability to push her way into our life; she even had an invitation to our Wedding.  Luckily, I saw her for who she was in the end.

I have altered the names in the transcript below, but everything else is unchanged.  I will be publishing the full transcripts of what was said between myself and her over the next few months, so people can see, how a sociopath and bully can muscle their way into a person's life, just to cause harm; as readers, you may also think differently, you may believe she was genuine! For the short period, she remained a friend, my life got worse.  As soon as I told her to go away for want of a better phrase, my life, once again was mine!

Hello you! I hope you are feeling better? (With all my heart, that's a sincere question, not a platitude btw)! I have a "strange" question/comment for you. Are you well before I say it though? xxx You will understand; or so I'm told?? Xxx

Ps! I don't "normally" contact people like this! But the lady who is with me; is doing my head in!!!!oh as you may of gathered, I'm a medium and she knows you know?? X

I am confused Penny. A Medium knows me? who? x

Vi?? She wants you to look closer within, to see what matters! She keeps showing me a pocket watch and saying time is all that you need! Plus the blue necklace does not go! x Ps.. I'm the medium btw. But would prefer if you kept that quite x Pearls please??? But you will understand that x

Are you on drugs Penny. You have lost me totally...x

Nope no drugs! A beautiful lady called "Vi" be it violet or Vivian has been on my case for 3 weeks! Tell him tell him!!! Etc... She's laughing now; I know you know who she is?? X

I really don't. I don't know any mediums...x

Haha bless you! I'm the medium

Am I talking to Penny? x

But please don't make that public! x Yes you are! X Talking to Penny that is! X

Send me your number I'll ring you...x

Omg! What's she wearing???? Look to her neck! xxx Ps yes that's her! Xx Now do you believe me? Twin set if pearls? How in earth could I of ever known that?? Channel number 5? Please meditate and call her... She's waiting to speak to you! xxxx Am 
so sorry if that had freaked you out.... But she assures me you are ready to receive her xxx

28 April 2015

Is it ok if I add you to a physic development group? I've just won a reading: and have donated it to you. I won't add you until you get back to me though. Xx

Hi Penny...that's fine. Was a bit freaked yesterday. I am writing what happened in my blog. I'll send you the link when I have finished..No names mentioned! x

I'm sorry if I freaked you out; wasn't my intention at all. I will add you to the group; you will need to take a recent selfie; Sally is a wonderful lady. It's a closed group; but I know it will help you immensely. Xxx

I can't add you as your not on my friends list. Will send a request add you to the group, then take you off my friends list again; is that ok? X

I will add you..x

Cool now I can add you x

Can you pop onto the group Luke? She's asking after you ta xx

I was a bit freaked out yesterday. A person I hadn't seen in a long time turned up in the evening. We were talking. He was telling me that his cousin had gone missing. He had stolen a lot of stuff from his mother, including a diamond and saphire necklace, just as you described. I have no idea if that is related, but I was gobsmacked! x

Probably!! Lol so sorry xx It is a bit of a "head fuck" when it happens to you first hand xx

I'll get to the end of the blog, then ill message...x

Cool. Xx

I have just read it; beautiful words Luke. Please remember she is not here to harm you in any way shape or form. She is here to help you, offer you love guidance and support. I'm truly sorry if I caused you any upset; but she was quite clear that you in the "right place" to receive her. xxx

Darrell's reaction was belief. That is a first for him. I will do a lot of thinking today and either give u a ring tonight or tomorrow. I am not as open to such things now, only through illness. That doesn't mean I am closed either. To have such abilities must be a double edged sword for you. The concept is difficult to comprehend, but since my NEWS it has been a constant in my life. Hugz x

I suppose it is and it isn't; the biggest fear is to upset or frighten people when you pass things into them. But once the shock passes; they read deeper into what message they have been given and find great peace and comfort in it. There are sadly as with all walks of live; a lot of charlatans about. People that charge money, and make a living off of another persons, grief/sorrow/ loneliness etc.. Darrell was "converted" if that's the correct phrase? When I had spoken to him. Please if nothing else, do try and meditate, it will offer you peace, stability and harmony x

So this was the opening gambit from a charlatan or confidant? In all honesty I haven't made up my mind what or who she was.  I was recently told, that now is the time to get my thoughts down in my blog, about that period, before we came to Spain.  One can certainly look from a different perspective and see the truth behind the lies.  What happened to me was terrible in every sense, but at least I have words and can finally publish my thoughts at an altogether better time, where I can look back at those events, subjectively, without prejudice!

    A place to call home
    Finally, a place we can call home.  A community of like minded individuals, who used to call Britain home.  Now Spain is our choice, an altogether gentler, happier, sunnier and safer experience!
