Mister Brown Visits London (and appears at the O2)

Hi there lovely Skullie fans
Since my last post, I have been a busy bee getting ready for my performance with the Rock Choir at the O2 in London.
We travelled down to Kent on the Friday 5th July, just the day before, so that we could chill out and have a little pamper (That's me, not Mister Brown) Had some lovely sparkly gels done for my nails and Mister Brown had a little rest in the fruit bowl of all places. He was happy there watching us being pampered lol

We are ready for the Off

We left just before lunchtime for our exciting trip to the O2 near Greenwich in London. It was only about 40 minutes drive from where we staying and so we arrived around 12.30pm. We found a nice Costa and had lunch. Mr Brown enjoyed sitting with us. Apparently he needed no food or drink! (so he said)

Arriving at the O2 on a sunny afternoon

After lunch we went for a walk around as we were very early. I was so excited to be performing at the O2 with around 11,500 other choirs from around the country, and wanted to meet up with my friends from my own Norfolk/Suffolk choir.  The others, had talked Mister Brown in the experience of a Pub so we ended up going to The Slug & Lettuce for a couple of medicinal snifters before the event

Soon I was at the event and sitting with the Choir. The place is huge and overwhelming, and the sound of thousands of  voices singing in harmony was fantastic and very emotional. Mister Brown took it all in his cool stride as he sat in my pocket listening to the songs.

Waiting for the event to start at the O2

After an immensely enjoyable time (and it was over way too soon) I met up with my family who had been sitting way up on a higher level watching the performance. We went off to eat (again) at a place called Wagamamas. Mister Brown wanted to know what we were eating, so we showed him exactly what he was missing, not needing food or drink!

On our way home Mister Brown reminded us that he had come from Canada, and that Michele (his friend he lives with) would maybe like to see him with Micheal Buble. He is appearing at the O2 the same week as we were lol

Very tired but ecstatic, we went home to rest, and on Monday, we returned home. Mister brown had a well earned rest on my Amethyst cave to re-energise him and rid him of any unwanted energy he may have picked up on his travels. He was also introduced to my own new Skull (no name as yet, I think she may be a bit shy).

I do hope he has enjoyed his time with us in Reedham, Norfolk. I will be sorry to see my lovely Mister Brown leave our home, but I do know he will have so much fun with his new host Sue Cowie, who only lives about 12 miles up the road, and she has so much for him to see and experience, including her nawty Ninjas
Happy travelling, we will sure miss you x

Conversations With Mister Bown

I decided I wanted to find out more about my little house guest, and as others had sat and meditated with their skulls, I thought I would "have a go."

We connect quite easily and the first thing he gave me was the year 1929. He showed my lots of other skulls, carved African heads and spears. I asked him where these pictures were from and the answer I received was "Africa, Namibia". He was shipped to the UK in 2005.

I thanked him for his insights and left it at that as I was going out.

Mister Brown as he should be x

This morning I thought I would have another converse with my little brown friend and when I took him into my hands, I got so many images of other skulls again, all different colours,sizes and shapes, some were really stunning. He was in a huge collection of minerals that were sold to a Canadian trader around 2007-2008. I asked how the date 1929 was significant. It seems it was when he was taken from the rock face in the "deep dark mine"

I felt quite emotional holding him and thanked him for his story. I said that we were off for a very special weekend tomorrow.
I asked him if he liked his eyes and the answer straight away was, "I don't really need eyes to see" lol. He went back to telling me how he came from a big place with lots of friends there. He was called "Skull Brain" and he didn't like that name at all!
He enjoys being here and will be sad to go, but he does want to enjoy his onward travels.
He showed me paintings of leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and I think that is reference to either Namibia, or where he was in a big collection.

So I am really pleased to have connected wit this little guy x
