DECISIONS? ~DECISIONS?
by John Yeo

The garden needs a lot of work and we are at the planning stage. "I think if we cut the trees down, we can lay lawns and have a lake for wild-fowl, with flower beds and borders. We can build a summer- house with many arbours and marble statues everywhere. Nature can be modelled, shaped and controlled." "No! Why not have a forest garden and encourage wildlife with deer, squirrels and much birdlife. A natural garden would be best, we don't need the artificiality of manicured lawns and borders, that is too much like hard work. Nature always wins in the end, whatever we do.""We can always concrete the whole area over and build high-rise flats, we could make a lot of money that way. Nature would take a long time to win then!""Now you are being silly, I know you don't like to be overlooked and feel crowded, I see a natural garden, where we keep the trees, and have a woodburning stove. We would have our isolation with privacy to write and create. We will have a vegetable plot with chickens in the middle of our own forest. Nature would be our friend and we would both win then." Yes! We can build a small gallery with workshops and encourage a community of artists and writers. We will build cabins in the yard and sell our work in the gallery shop. Nature would be our partner and our friend."

THE MESSENGER
by John Yeo


 My Mother was very sick with an incurable cancer, our faith has always been very strong, indeed we had her to thank for our strong belief in God. They say miracles are possible and we continually prayed for her in church.      Mother had already outlived all the estimates of her life expectancy by months. 
 Mother was devoted to her granddaughter, Anne, six years old and very bright. The teachers at Anne’s school swore she knew the answers to the questions before they were asked.
 We were woken by the sound of Anne’s musical laughter and her voice talking to someone in the middle of the night. We rushed into her room to find her awake sitting up in bed, 
 “Mummy, Daddy, this is Girish, an angel!” 
We could see nothing and she was completely alone. “Over there by the window!” 
We could see nothing there.  
 “Believe me Mummy, there is an angel standing, just there, smiling and watching us. Can’t you see?"
 My wife in a moment of inspiration said, 
 “Describe the angel, does she have golden wings? What is she wearing? Does she have robes of pure shining white material?”  
 “No Mummy, Girish has no wings and he is wearing a suit, like Daddy does and he is a young man.”
 “What did he say that made you laugh?”
 “He said, to tell you not to worry because Grandma will be alright, she has gone to heaven and the pains have all gone.”
 I immediately telephoned my Mother’s house and a very surprised medic said, “I was just about to call you! Sadly your Mother died peacefully half an hour ago.”
