I'm a little overwhelmed!

Today we both got stuck into social media for most of the day in amongst the normal things of life that we had to do.

We do have a volunteer PA named Emmie ( Hi Emmie) and she has put a fire up our backsides and boy oh boy I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment.

We are trying to systemise things and it is just a horror carnival ride from hell.

But we are learning, and in the end, we will be more organised.

I had some news from Maitland Gaol today about something that we have been trying to organise for the last month or two.

The news came through that the 'thing' has been approved by Council. 

So stage two is a huge amount of planning.

This 'thing' is very exciting - just saying. ( more to come once we are allowed to tease you).

Anne found out she has an issue with plumbing that is going to cost her a few thousand dollars to fix, that's after she had to spend a LOT of money to fix the side of her house that was exposed when the new neighbours decided to renovate and extend their house.

I cracked my windscreen ( probably a rogue tree branch) and have to get that fixed.

We have a wedding to added this coming weekend.

That of Issac Butterfield ( aka the Buttsmarn) and Clare his fiancé.


We have become friends with these two gorgeous souls ever since we began doing filming with them for the "Devil's Advocate" series on his YouTube channel.

He called us the 'ghost grannies' and I hate that tag.

Anne likes it. 

See, we don't agree on everything!!!!

Till next time.

Stay Spooky.

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage  is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens .  Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

The Haunted History of the Hydro Majestic Hotel: Ghosts in the Mist of the Blue Mountains

Perched on a cliff’s edge at Medlow Bath with sweeping views of the Megalong Valley, the Hydro Majestic Hotel stands as a jewel of Edwardian architecture—and a hotspot for paranormal activity. Known for its luxurious past and distinctive Art Deco charm, this grand hotel also harbours chilling tales of tragic deaths, spectral figures, and eerie encounters that have become part of Blue Mountains folklore. A Brief History of the Hydro Majestic Established in 1904 by retail tycoon Mark Foy, the Hydro Majestic was originally designed as a hydropathic retreat, offering mineral water therapies and strict diets in the European spa tradition. Foy imported marble, mirrors, and even a dome from Chicago, installing them in the now-famous Casino Lobby and Grand Dining Room. Over the decades, the hotel transitioned into a glamorous high-society getaway, hosting politicians, socialites, and international performers. But beneath the glitz, strange events whispered through the hallways—events th...
