Wee dander in Narnia!

-

 Me and wee betty had a day out in the mountains yesterday. Haven't been up in such a long time now. I've been so busy with the phantom planter and trying to get my new Buddha Beds business off the ground that I haven't had much time to be doing things like this anymore.


Felt great though getting up there, you never come back from a dander in the mountains and say "well that was a waste of time". Its good to get the body moving in such fresh spaces, opening up the lungs and clearing the cobwebs. 


We are so lucky here in Belfast to have the Mourne Mountains aka Narnia just down the road from us. 

CS Lewis spent a lot of time walking here which is where he got his inspiration from for Narnia.


It is a very inspiring place to walk, I've spent years battling demons solo up in these mountains. Used to go up every week with a hangover and as long as I beat my last time to the top I was convincing myself that drink and drugs had no effect in my life. 


All I was looking at was my watch the whole way up!


After I beat my previous time it was straight to the bar to get pissed and celebrate. On many occasions I brought drugs with me, running up the mountain lit like a maniac!


We live in a world of extremes, consume in extreme then train in extreme. Where as the Buddha has taught me the middle way. 

F**k what your time is to the top, why miss all that beauty. I bet CS Lewis wasn't timing himself to the top. He would have been walking mindfully and letting the mountains communicate with him. Answers come to you in these sorts of places when we walk mindfully and connect. Things that I'm trying to work out in my head often get solved after a mindful walk in Narnia.


Anyhow back to business today, please feel free guys to share my Buddha Beds page. If you need a mattress  get in touch. www.buddhabeds.co.uk.

  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

Buddha Beds!!!

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup
