Eight records
One Day at a TimeFavourite
Because that sums up the way I have to live these days. And every word, I think, is so applicable to every one of us. You know, just asking for strength to get through the day.
And this is one I would choose because of my husband, John. whom I only knew a week. We've been together forty one years. And no matter what people have said about me John's always there.
'Cause I think if only we could get that feeling, you know, that when we wake up in the morning and Thank God for being alive. The world'll be a lot better place.
And every time I hear this record, I see, Danny. I remember that lovely warm feeling that after he had done a show at Birmingham. and he threw people out of his dressing room and rushed round to my theatre. and came on stage. and helped me hand out the flowers to the people in the audience.
I've Told You Lately That I Love You
I've only met him recently. And he rang me up and said he would like to come and see me and ever since then when he is on the phone, he sings to me... And I think that would give me a warm go because he's such a warm and loving person.
May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You
I know there's no death. so that when my end comes, when I've finished my earthly cycle, I'm going to be cremated. And I don't [want] any abide with me or any dreary hymns. And want Jim Moves to sing. May the good Lord bless and keep you.
And that's when I decided to do it my way, not try to conform. And to this day I do it my way. I go out on the stage and I talk about God and I talk about life, but I do it in a light-hearted way because I'm not there to preach religion.
Then one night I heard this gentle voice Giving me a poem. and a great calm and a feeling of peace came over me... And it brought me so much peace of mind and comfort, because instead of imagining my little baby being in a white box buried in the earth, I could see him playing in the spirit world.
In conversation
Presenter asks
3:44Do you remember that first occasion [you had your first intimation of supernatural powers]?
Oh, absolutely... I'd been extremely ill with rheumatic fever... and I recovered. But for a long time I used to have to sit in a push chair, I couldn't walk... and then suddenly one day these children arrived and I accepted it without question. I was only sick... Pansy and Christopher... and it never occurred to me that nobody could see them until my mum's next door neighbour... looked straight through them... but I went home full of excitement to my mother and told her these voices talk to me and I got the stir. So I soon learned to keep quiet about it. These were spirit children.
Presenter asks
6:27Were you worried and frightened at these strange [experiences]?
Now as a child you accept with a childlike faith.
Presenter asks
8:06You had the misfortune to lose your father, but that didn't mean that you didn't see him any more?
Oh, no, no, my father knew you see he was going to die... and my father said look after your mother and I said, Be all right, daddy, when you come home He said, I'm not coming home any more, child. But I want you to know that you've only got to put your hand out, and I'll always be there... I never saw him again until John was missing at Harnam... then I had this beautiful voice... and then the door opened, and my father walked in, as solid as you are... He said, I've come to tell you Johnny's not with us. And on Christmas Day you'll have proof of this. And he disappeared.
The keepsakes
The luxury
Photo album with family photographs
An album and photographs of all my family, my animals, all the friends I've made over the years.
Presenter asks
20:50How clear an impression do you get with these people? You don't see them. I believe you see lights.
Yeah, and I see spirit children... Oh yes, I can describe the children. even to the dummy in the mouth and the teddy bear. They bring back what's been put in the coffin with them. But I I just see a light over his shoulder. And the smaller the light, the less time they've been over.
Presenter asks
21:29Have you been interested in more conventional religion? Do you go to church?
I was baptized and confirmed Church of England. But when my baby passed over, It was not a bit o' good that young Vicar putting his arm around me and saying, God's will be done. I just seen my baby go down into a hole six feet deep with ice all round it. There was no God to me... Now I've got a philosophy. That suits me. I am personally responsible, nobody else.
“God was good when we met. Half past eight on a Saturday night fell over his feet in a pub I was in the Air Force, he was in the Paratroopers, and got married the next Saturday afternoon at three by special license.”
“You can't die for the life of you. That's the the punchline. No good hanging one on and then saying, Oh God, I wish I were dead. It's an impossibility.”
“I am personally responsible, nobody else. I have got to account. I can either go over bankrupt or I can have a spiritual bank book waiting.”
“Phone bill's astronomical, but who cares? It's no good being the richest body in the cemetery, is it?”
