“Book of the dead” by Julie Adamson

It was a stupid idea and I couldn’t believe I had agreed to this.  Camping was not something I considered fun, let alone camping in a graveyard.  However it was Halloween and a party was planned. 20 people  would be here tonight.  My closest friends had come all dressed up in their spookiest outfit.   I had come as Daenarys Targaryen,  I loved Game of thrones and my boyfriend Matthew was here as Jon Snow.   ...

“Haunted” by Julie Adamson

I was not a happy woman,  my friend Penny had brought me here to this cold and damp castle.  All because it was haunted.   “We might see a ghost, “ I’d been told It’s not that I didn’t believe in ghosts, it's just I had no desire to see one.  And this castle was too cold despite having a warm sweater on.  There was no television, so it meant reading.  The only thing I liked about the castle was it’s libra...

“A witches brew” by Julie Adamson

Stevie Nicks Gold dust woman blared out of the stereo speakers.  This song had such a witchy vibe to it.  It was perfect to listen to while I concocted one of my brews.  Especially since my brew was to ease heartache.  I threw in the cinnamon stick, which created an amazing smell.  I stirred the brew, simmering away in my caldron.  I like to use my athame to stir, I felt it gave a magical sharpness to the brew.  The brew...

“How do you like them apples” by Julie Adamson

She said it would be an adventure and a fun one at that.  If you thought climbing an unsteady ladder to pick an apple was a fun adventure.  Sure the apples were delicious and crisp.  It’s just I almost fell three times.   My friend Lucy had different ideas sometimes on what would be fun.  However I did make her go to that new bar and she hated bars.  Michelle seemed to be having fun, she was the type of person who could ...

“An Autumn moment” by Julie Adamson

I was so excited my favourite cafe had added an autumnal menu.  The food was filled with amazing stews and casseroles.  What got me excited was the coffees and their added spices.  The smells in the cafe were filled with warmth.  Sitting at my usual table I wait for my lover to arrive.  It had been a cold day and was surprised when he suggested we meet.  He usually wanted to come over to my place where we would eat somet...

“The crazy family” by Julie Adamson

My aunt Greta was weird,  the whole family has told me this through my whole life.  She lived a nomad lifestyle with her numerous lovers.    Every so often she would show up.   Stay for a while causing havoc and leave.   I was scared of her as a child,  she wore long black dresses and had long black hair that was wild and unbrushed.  I thought she was an evil witch.  When I was five she told me she was a gypsy witch and ...

“Lennon” by Julie Adamson

Lennon stared at me with the same face he had as when I was a child.  He was a teddy bear given to me by my aunt April when I was three.  We gave him the name Lennon because he had glasses like John Lennon.  Okay so my aunt named him, she was a Beatles fan and saw the bear and bought him for me.  Lennon came everywhere with me, I even took him to school until I was seven. He sat on my bed and through my teenage years I t...

“Protecting the realm” by Julie Adamson

It’s not every day you survive the apocalypse.  Then it’s not every day they have one.   It was meant to be the journey of a lifetime.  I was in Scotland when the news announced that a large meteor was to hit the Earth in three weeks.   I thought at first it was something out of a Hollywood movie.  However things changed overnight, people were scrabbling to stock up on food, trying to get home or find a safe place.  I wa...

“What happens in the dark” by Julie Adamson

I knew something strange was happening the moment I opened the front door.  It was way too quiet.  Having three children the house was always filled with noise.  I called out to my husband Matthew, he didn’t answer.  I wondered what the four of them were up to.  I put down my groceries bags when my eight year old daughter Ella appeared.  Her hair was wind blown and she looked like she’d had a fight.  “What happened to yo...

“I knew I loved you” by Julie Adamson

The savage garden song, you knew I loved you, before I met you,  played not just in my head anymore but through the speaker of my husband's mobile phone.  I had asked him to put it on his song list.  It was how I felt about this little one who had been growing inside me.  Soon I would meet her.  I had to find out if our little peanut was boy or girl.  Not that I cared what sex of my child was.   I wanted to nest, do the nursery.I have so many beautiful memories of shopping,  choosi...

“My Conscious Mind” by Julie Adamson

Hi Julie, it’s me that voice in your head.  You are going through a lot right now aren’t you.  I  feel your pain, literally.  Sure it’s not easy,  come on you know I know your secret.  Or should I say our secret.  I have heard your thoughts as you struggle to deal with this secret.  In fact I am your thoughts,  at least I think I am.  Looks like I am trying to psychoanalyse myself again.  Have to stop overdoing that.  So back to this secret,  no your feelings are not stupid ...
