Lily Dale UK?

Only mediums approved by the association can work at LIly Dale JIm but there are renters who live there especially through winter who don't do sittings. Cassadaga is easier to work in as a medium so I'm told. There's a sizeable psychic and unregistered community right next door. I know of two English mediums who have worked at Cassadaga. Ideally and if one had the money then Lily Dale in camp season and Cassadaga through winter would be sweet. Don't know if any do that.
I have been talking to a company that develops retirement communities in England. Early days yet and everyone is waiting to see what will be on offer from forthcoming new legislation for older age living. Building a contact list of interested people too.
If it's meant to be......

Yes, there are people in the US who do that: spend summers in places like New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New England. . . and winters in Florida or the Gulf Coast.

Did the PN article stir up any interest?

Snow Birds.
My auntie and her hubby in Utah did a bit of that for a few years they wintered in Florida.
I've had several nice calls and a couple of letters since the article ran. Just need that spiritualist billionaire now.
I suspect there are very few of those.

Spirit keeps mediums humble and church keeps us poor.

It' a stone fact Jim. First Saturday of month [tomorrow] our mini sittings afternoon at church. £3 for fifteen minutes and I'm booked solid already. Ten mediums working flat out for petrol money plus tea and cake.
Cake is excellent mind you.

I've put nearly two stones [28 pounds ] on since we moved here from relatively cake free Lancashire. East Midlands ladies are phenomenally excellent and most prolific bakers of mighty fine cake.

Excellent cake, doing something you love, doing something that brings joy to others. . . ah, what a bonus getting rich in the process would be!

Superb fruit cake this afternoon. More fruit than cake. Lovely stuff. Thirteen mini sittings and I'm knackered. Thought I had a day off tomorrow but whilst I was out Mrs K had taken an afternoon cover for tomorrow only three til four and not too far away. Be glad to get back to work on Monday for a rest.
Lady at church punted a physical development circle on website and in church newsletter. Yesterday was the second session. Told me today that she's had to make a waiting list such has been the demand. £3 a seat donation for church and her exes. They're focusing on transfiguration and I reckon they'll do well.

Yes Katy at least focusing on transfiguration keeps the lights on even if dimly good luck to them. I must get my mind around todays address and working this afternoon soon.

Great to see that there's so much interest.

There's definitely a resurgenceof interest just now. All the circles do well and meeting attendances are up. There is a popular psychic cum paranormal series currently on TV plus new series of The Mentalist so those bring in a few. When that movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze was in cinemas church we were in in NW had a real surge as well. Most drop off after a while but some stay on. It seems to go in cycles. I didn't notice an effect from Twilight movie but that was pitched at youngsters.
Ours is a big church, newish and purpose built, lots of people all ages and plenty of twenties thru thirties age group with events every day and most evenings. The only 'competition' is an elderly SNU cause in a dingy building with filthy curtains so we do well anyway but there is a noticeable media driven effect on numbers attending.
It's a 'Progressive Spiritualist' independent church so there's less dogmatism than old order SNU even though we share the same Principles.

That's frequently the case, Peter. Popular interest in something spurs involvement with the serious aspects of the subject. Most of the newcomers fall by the wayside because they weren't really interested in the first place, but a few remain and become good contributing members,

That JC boy knew his stuff!

But anyway. . . or as the Cajuns say, ennihow. . . : Is there any news about Lily Dale UK?


Jim

Not since we last spoke Jim.
Plenty of interest from those I meet who have read the article in PN. All to the good. Consciousness is being 'raised' as they say.

The seeds have been sown. Some will take root.

Hope so.

KK Maybe you should borrow the idea from this film and move Lily Dale UK to India

It would be cheaper, but the heat; the dust.
Maybe up in the hills around Valpoi in the Western Ghats. Lovely spot there very moderate climate due to altitude.
Something to think about certainly.
:-)

How about Costa Rica? The exchange rate for pounds, euros and dollars should be terrific!

Sounds good. Property is cheap there too. Then again it is Lily Dale UK.

Maybe Belize? That could be former-colonial UK (British Honduras).

Are you trying to get rid of me?

Actually, in Belize you'd practically be my neighbor: relatively speaking!

I understand there's a New Orleans colony there.

Every time I think of Belize I think of the story a man told me about the time his company was operating heavy machinery there, and he told a woman that for her own safety, she had to step back.

She replied: "Don't-chu tell me Nu-teeng: I come from Belize Ceety!"

We came across a large American expat community eking out their pensions in Colonia le Baron in Northern Mexico. Their dollars bought much more but it wasn't 'home'. I am eternally grateful that the property price crash in England saved me from Mrs Ks
planned-for-'us' early retirement in Provence.
Nowhere better than an English village this side of the summerland; for me anyway.
