Thank you for that clear explanation, Fran ❤️💕💙.

I hear about all these readings but haven’t ever clearly understood,......until now. I hope your own results are ok.

Have a good day, my friend.....I’m travelling up from London today 🚄🚃 I hope I don’t have to swap train seats to get away from perfumes and the smell of newspaper print, it was a struggle on the way down. And more difficult when you’ve got a suitcase to think about. Then the electrics on the train went half way through the journey, air con went, and the staff were handing out bottles of water, as the heat on board rose.

When the air con first went, my breathing improved....no more perfumes circulating I suppose. Phew! But as the time stretched on, we were getting short of oxygen, I could tell.....crowded train and no windows to open these days.....fortunately we arrived in Euston before too long. The good news is that I’ve had a 50% ticket refund. The bad news is that I’ve got to travel back,......with apprehension 🙀😱 👾 🛤 I’m a nervous traveller these days!

Speak soon, Fran.....I’ll tell you of my exploits in the capital 🌆🏛🚇 Love 💕 Penny xx 😘
