I often quote Heathcliff: ‘I have a strong faith in ghosts: I have a conviction that they can, and do, exist among us!’ A few months ago I wrote <a href="http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/29502677732/this-is-lengthy-but-curious-when-i-was-a-child-i">an account</a> of the female apparition who haunted (and hopefully still haunts) my grandparents’ old home. It was a large, Grade II listed sixteenth-century farmhouse which they ran as a bed-and-breakfast for many years before I was born; to cut a long and rather M.R. James-esque story short, the Grey Lady was seen and sensed by numerous guests who had not previously been informed of her existence. I saw her as a child, when I once spent a night at the house: indeed, one of my earliest memories is of lying in bed in the dim light, then seeing an elderly woman in a grey dress walk through the door and move across the room to stand at my bedside. Let me make it clear, that she wasn’t an unfriendly ghost, and it seems that she was even fond of children (perhaps a nanny who lived there in years gone by?). It was only years later, when my father informed me of all the strange occurrences from his own youth at the house, that I realised I had actually been visited by a spectre.</p>http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50723669308http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50723669308Sat, 18 May 2013 13:30:00 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbspk4g5gf1r5pmqlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/33444169715/the-hidden-mother">funeral-wreaths</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Hidden Mother</p> </blockquote>http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50721900821http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50721900821Sat, 18 May 2013 12:44:55 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m04ghxDe7h1qiz3j8o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50719206315http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50719206315Sat, 18 May 2013 11:22:21 +0100<p>My favourite flower, my dear, is of course the rose (both wild and garden roses). I also love bluebells, harebells, forget-me-nots, hydrangeas, cow parsley, cornflowers, and more which I cannot recall at present. The humble wildflowers found in hedgerows and meadows can be just as pretty and fragrant as the more ‘manicured’ ones in formal gardens.</p>http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50718919951http://funeral-wreaths.tumblr.com/post/50718919951Sat, 18 May 2013 11:12:00 +0100<p>Oh.
