Thank you guys!

 Thank you guys for all the support over the past week and all your donations and contributions, it means the world to me!


I took a bit of a wobbler last week and things got a bit on top of me worrying about my financial situation. But out of a muddy pond blooms a lotus flower. Its always when your backed into a corner the best comes out in you.


My apologies if it felt like I was putting pressure on my long time supporters asking for donations all the time. It really is not my style at all. It didnt sit well with me either having to ask for it all the time.


Now I've went back to doing what I do best which is wheeling and dealing my quality mattresses which I've been selling for over 20 years.

I need to put my passion back into this for a bit to get me back on my feet and to pay for and fund my phantom planting mission in creating urban orchards all over Belfast and beyond.


I remember this lady came to my showroom once and she was looking a mattress, she noticed I had some apple trees outside my showroom and she started asking do you like trees? Well I went off on one like I always do and we chatted for ages about nature stuff.


She said after that when I was selling her the mattress my energy was flat and low, my enthusiasm just wasnt there but then when she asked about the trees I lit up and went off on one and that I sold her the concept that we all need to plant trees ourselves and off she went to get herself an apple tree to plant in her garden.


For the past 5 years I've been a walking talking advert for mother nature and the way of the Buddha! The middle man for the trees and the Buddha's Delboy!


But now I need to transfer some of that energy and enthusiasm into making money and get stuck back into wheeling and dealing Buddha Beds high end luxury mattresses!


Many people have been commenting in my previous posts saying get a job! Thats just not possible for me. I'm up to my neck in the phantom planters mission now!

I'll find my balance.

I will never forget about the trees. We all fall off the middle path every now and again but we get up and get back on.

  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"..
