Rain Rain go to Spain!

-

 This time 2 years ago we were in a heatwave and it just started to rain. 

I had many newly planted trees that needed water and was so excited for some rain that when it came I was out dancing in it!


This year though it hasn't stopped raining! 


We need to stop taking away trees. Mature oak trees are said to drink around 350 litres of water a day. 

I never understand when they cut down mature trees that are hundreds of years old but then say sure we're planting a hundred more to make up for it. 


Something's not computing there. The Lunatics are running the asylum. 


" The systen cannot be fixed be fixed by the system" 

Tom Morello.


We all need to do our bit for the environment and planting trees is something we can all do and consume less also. Would be great if we all got together and did weekly 24 hour fast. 


Consuming is the problem, while we are all consuming and not giving back we are all just as bad as eachother.


"Spent way too much on self gratification which nearly ended in my own eradication, 

time to give back what we've all taken or our future generations will be left forsaken, 

now that the spirit in me has awakened, planting trees is my soul purification."


My attempt at poetry, it was not that long ago that I thought apostrophe was a Greek God!!!

  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"..
