Planting the right kind of flowers in gardens may help to halt the decline of British bees, according to scientists.

Biologists at the University of Sussex have been analysing how effectively different species of flowers attract foraging insects.

Preliminary results have revealed there is a 100-fold difference in the lure that some popular garden plants have for honey bees and bumblebees.

The best plants are the Mexican giant hyssop, which was particularly good for bumblebees, while borage was best for honeybees and lilac sage was second best.

Wild marjoram and Greek Origanum were found to be most attractive to wild solitary bees.

Lavenders such as the white Lavender edelweiss and the blue lavender grossblau were also good for attracting the insects.

Two women with the same name, separated by 500 years of time.

The Source uncovers the story and prophecies of Ursula Sontheil, better known as Mother Shipton, witch, healer and prophetess burnt at the stake for heresy, and her spirit then trapped by dark magic in a cave in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. Her life, death and rebirth tell of the power of need, and how true magic is shaped and given life.

In her rebirth she shared the childhood of the second Ursula of this story, Ursula James, protecting her from harm and giving her strength and knowledge. The book tells of how Mother Shipton returned into her life as an adult when Ursula James finally decided to accept magic as a real force in her life.

In this book, Mother Shipton’s prophecies themselves are channelled to the reader by 21st century therapist and author, Ursula James. Through the prophecies and the rites, rituals and trances in these pages, the reader can find their own way to the source of everyday magic, and make changes to transform their own life through the experiences within these pages.

Each reader will bring their own way of reading and understanding The Source, and all will be changed in different and positive ways. Read this book and you will understand the true meaning of magic.

This is an inspirational/spiritual book which bears comparison with bestsellers like The Celestine Prophecy and The Secret. If you liked Eat Pray, Love, or Tuesday’s with Morrie you will be equally moved and inspired by this book.

 

I just met this delightful, warm and intelligent women at Crystal Moon this evening. Very down to earth, caring and supportive.

There is not enough warmth, respect and interest in our fellow human’s out there and it takes little to stop, put aside our own problems and just listen and here another’s stories.

Life is so much more enriched if we let go of our own egos and busy self importance and just relax and chill and listen and share.


The Source by Ursula James.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations, a judge has ruled.

At Belmarsh Magistrates’ Court in south London, District Judge Howard Riddle said the extradition would not breach Mr Assange’s human rights.

Mr Assange will appeal against the court ruling. He denies three allegations of sexual assault and one of rape last August in Stockholm.

He believes the claims are politically motivated because of Wikileaks’ work.
