Read chapter one of my life story!

-

 Over the years many of you have been saying that I should write a book about my life growing up until I became the Phantom Planter, like an autobiography type thing.

Many months ago I started to write my life story with the help of a writer and I wrote lots of chapters then all the formalities involved in this and trying to pitch my introduction to publishers and all that was a bit daunting for me and was taking me out of my comfort zone big time, the thought of trying to get all the chapters in order and story form was way too much for my head.

When your living a life of ducking and diving looking over your shoulder in the underworld mixed in with drink and drugs its hard to put all the stories in book order, I kept remembering different things to add unto chapters I wrote and it opened up all sorts more avenues that I forgot, it was all getting a bit too much like hard work for me!


So now that I've setup Patreon, you can support me for £3.50 a month, I'm going to start to add all these chapters on there and all the other stories of my past that come to mind and for the next while I'm going to keep Patreon exclusive for my life stories. 

I wont post anything else on there so that each chapter is easily picked up and read and chapter one is already live....


You see I'm quite OCD about my life, I have my little rituals and routines that keep my head in check and the thought of delving back into that ratrace world going and talking with people who are all about the money is not me anymore, I just like to sit in my cabin with wee Betty writing on here and sharing it with you guys and then off out for some planting and chanting!


Click on the link below and start to read my life story now, there's alot on there, really surprise myself where all this writing comes from...


Hope you enjoy!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
