Back for camping, the weather was awful. But such fun!. I have just bought a little generator called the 'Mighty Atom ' for my camper. It will be so good if there are power cuts at home too.
Looks like a nice unit padraig, I have one similar and use it for camping and home power outages as well. It has been very useful and is very economical on fuel.
Well I am retired now for nearly two weeks and have had big plans to go away camping for a longer time, maybe at least a moth if my medicines hold out. This time I am going to have a shot at visiting nine forest camp sites in a row. I bought a little suitcase generator called , 'The Mighty Atom' and so will have all the power I need, like a little gypsy camp. Thank God I got to confession the other day for the first time in two months, which was a delight. I always love to get before camping. I saw a really good sign of protection last night. I prayed to my guardian angel before going to sleep and when I woke up in the night (as I always do) at the bottom of my bed and slightly to the right I saw my angel guardian standing there. He was wearing a kind of rose coloured tabard on which were two large jewels, one of them a diamond and the other Topaz. Around the stones were flowing script which looked Arabic. When I asked the meaning of this it was explained to me that the two jewels represented both me and my angel. I love the way angels always look to heaven, like compasses that always look North. Revelation 21:18-21 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. This is my first campsite. Very remote.
No radio or Internet. Just dead silence. Am at a local church for a Mass that is not on. I met the most interesting man out camping yesterday who had a cat who goes fir walks in the forest with his. I ever saw such a thing before.
I was about to give up and go home a couple of days ago. No water pump, trouble with the awning, trouble with the generator. But most of all the total total silence. No Internet or radio. It just shows how addicted I wS by it all. But now I have got used to it and am happy as Larry Met my old Parish priest saying Mass this morning in the sticks and called in to say ,Hi. I am sorry I am not posting much but I might as well be on the far side of the moon
Perhaps a sign from God to get ready for the days ahead when we lose all modern means of communication.
As you know Jesus is always with us. I was feeling a bit sad today as I have lost some friends post covid. They are not dead but have distanced themselves. I am particularly sad about one friend who I thought was my best friend. I don't know why but wonder is it because I spoke against the vaccine. They all took it. I really don't know but I'm feeling the loss and I've always struggled connecting to other women. I've no sisters, neither had my mother so it's a feeling of being an outsider. After Mass today as I was leaving the church a woman whom I vaguely know stopped me to say' Jesus is very lonely as so few think of Him'. So I am now happy to hand him over my isolation and loneliness as a small sacrifice. Jesus is always with us and we are never alone. Praise God. I hope I'm not hijacking your thread Padraig. Enjoy the remainder of your trip. The weather is kind at the moment, the first days of Spring.
