In April of 2018 I took my daughter, Mina, and son, Graham, on a 10 day trip to England and France.
PART ONE
The first half of our trip was London, then to take my Mom’s ashes to Burnham Market, King’s Lynn, the little village where I was born. (My sister, Margaret, was born there, too!)
She wanted her ashes spread in the Churchyard where I was baptized. It was a very dear trip for me and my kids. I gave them each a portion of her ashes and we split up..”Go talk to your grandmother”.

After we spread her ashes we went to The Hoste Pub for fish and chips. After we got home I noticed this photo. Here is my Mom’s ghost, touching me….right between the eyes. She was very happy that her grandkids and I took her ashes…..home.
PART TWO…The BEST part!
The second half of our trip was to the south of France. The Dordogne is castle central, dozens of medieval towns and castles. There are many caves with prehistoric art in the Dordogne, too. It is one of my favorite parts of France (I’ve been there TWICE! before!), And while my kids have been to France with me on other trips, they had never seen this beautiful area.
On Air BnB I found this incredible medieval Bishop’s Tower, a French National Historic Monument. La Maison du Bayle was built in 1282. It was a full 2 bedroom apartment above an arcade. My daughter, Mina, said “I’m gonna stay up all night. Thus place has got to be haunted.” We were there for 4 nights but never noticed anything “spooky”. Our last night there I took a photo of her in bed, looking at her photos on her phone. There was very small lamp in between the beds that didn’t really light up the room much. When we got home, we noticed the photo at the bottom. BOO!
And here is THE GHOST. Like Buddha hisself!
This is the tiny lamp between the 2 beds. It made that image above…
