❤️
I went to Hanley Cemetery and had the most interesting afternoon in October. A guided walk and talk of the graves dotted around. I knew nothing and came back feeling, well I can't even explain what I felt 🤷
Some of the graves were dated for instance a young soldier died aged 19 years when infact the young man or women had lied about their age. Desperate to join and support ❤️
They were actually aged 16 years old and relatives had added an extra pot on the side saying this.
Wow x
I am sure where I'm going with this post, I just wanted to share the love and acknowledge the fallen ✨❤️
In my images is the head stone of Private George Malbone, he had been featured in the local media also.
✨
George Fraser Malbon was the son of John and Ann Malbon, of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent and the husband of Doris Malbon, of Hanley.

After volunteering for airborne forces, Private Malbon took part in parachute training course 16 at RAF Ringway. The course lasted from 22 - 29 June 1942. Upon successful completion of the course, Pte Malbon was posted to 2nd Parachute Battalion, The Parachute Regiment.

He saw action with his unit in North Africa and Italy.

George was reported as missing in action on 30 Nov 1942. He was captured by the Germans on 2 Dec 1942, possibly wounded. He was then flown to Sicily and incarcerated in POW Camp 98. Other prisoners have described the poor conditions in the camp and it was clearly a unpleasant place to live in.

In 1943 Sicily is invaded by British and American troops in “Operation Husky” and George and other prisoners were moved to mainland Italy and eventually to camps in Poland, Stalag 2D – Stargard and then westward to Stalag IVB in Muhlberg in Saxony as the Soviet Army started to liberate Eastern Europe. Conditions in 1944/45 were very poor. Sometime during this period George contracted TB and on 2 Feb 1956 he was repatriated by the Red Cross to Shaftsbury Military Hospital in Dorset where on 27 Feb 1945, just three months before VE Day, he died.

Never a dull day on my tarot journey ✨💚
I used this deck yesterday whilst reading, after they had been tucked in a cabinet and I found them randomly after losing my Templar cards, (still lost BTW 🤣).

I found a little book where I'd jotted down my findings in 2006 ✨
I remember buying these I think in Wolverhampton or Birmingham because I liked the colours and odd imagery.
No clue, I just had to have them.
✨✨✨
I still had no clue about them until yesterday 🙃
They are back and teaming up perfectly with my Oracle decks and roses👌
🌹🌹🌹
Still as vibrant, they feel feisty, to the point🫵 like I hear the French guy from from Allo Allo, saying 'listen very carefully, I shall say this only once".
😂😂😂
How fascinating ✨😊

Where are you going? 🐱🐈💫🌌⚡
So I had a massive head ache to start the day(slept heavy, felt a heaviness) I knew I had to sort it out...
So I grab a brew and create...
No meaning, no ties, no intention, no end, no pressure, no mind, Just BE... ✨
✨When I doodle and create, I create my own calm and ground myself 🍃🌳
😁It's my way
Art, music and creativity(in whatever form that comes to you, the spectrum is endless) is the bestest of therapy
