  You know all our mountain ranges here in the UK and Ireland are not natural. Although when your coming into these areas you see signs saying area of outstanding natural beauty, maybe it should say, area of mass destruction. At one time all our mountains were all forest, not this heathland/ grassland type terrain, this is is what has come about from over farming and grazing. Sheep and cattle have been wrecking and ruining these landscapes for thousands of years. When we had predators like wolves they would have keep grazing cattle moving so they didnt have time to hang around one spot and eat everything in sight. This allowed the ecosystem to thrive and the forests to flourish. Everything is about making money from the land, if you cant make money from it its no good to us. I get we need cattle for food but most of ours is exported, turned into paper and digits and stored in some bank somewhere and our landscape has been destroyed for it. If we ate what we produced and didnt export th

 This is my table and chair for dinning. Never thought I'd see the day I would be happy to eat my meals like this. Happiness is an inside job!  All this exterior toys and tinsel BS we think we need is a novelty.  This is my breakfast before I go and dander a few mountains barefoot in the lashing rain.  It's good to embrace all the elements.  Love the purity of the mountains  in the rain.  We are made up of the elements, it's so important to go out to embrace and connect with them.  Have a great day guys... Peace and love.

We become our thoughts!

 This is my first ever selfie as the phantom planter just under 5 years ago, its coming up to the 5 year mark of setting up the phantom planter next month and before I set it up I felt I had to go and get blessed by the Buddhist monks at Jampa Ling and I phantom planted these oak trees in the pic on the way down to the Buddhist monastery! You know when you know you just gotta go and do something, well I had to go and plant a tree in a Buddhist monastery with a Tibetan lama and ask him to bless me before I was going to go all out and talk about my past and present passion on here and how I turned my life around through planting and chanting! Many of you may not know also but it was me and a 9 year old girl who came up with the idea for the phantom planter. Her 12 year old brother at the time was a bit sceptical about our plans and he thought I was crazy but me and my little past sidekick went full steam ahead and got this page up and running believing that one day we are going to make p

What goes around comes around.

 When I look around my cabin room many of the things I have are gifts, things that people made, drew, designed and put a lot of thought into, things that people went to effort for to give me without seeking anything back in return! I never got this sort of love directed at me ducking and diving in business world - " no friends in business" is what my Delboy Dad always says - How right he was!  Took me to go through a roller coaster ride to really find this out for myself though!  Most of us dont know any better, like the story or platos cave, ( apparently the matrix was based on the allegory of the cave by Plato). When I first landed up to Jampa Ling at the lowest point in my life I wanted a private chat with the Rinpoche there who is high Tibetan Lama, this dude is on the inner council with Big D and all the other Lamas! But I got my chat with him and told him all my problems and all he said was atleast you are aware and told me a meditation practice to do. I was thinking at

 Good morning guys, would like to thank everyone who has donated to our fundraiser for our new heritage Irish memorial/community orchard we are setting up. This orchard is going to be a prototype for future community orchard projects.  We have already ordered our second polytunnel thanks to your generosity so that we have the capability of producing 1000 native Irish apple trees annually. My old saying in business was "if you dont have it you cant sell it", people always thought I was crazy because I carried so much stock of what I was selling.  I'm a great believer in keeping money working for you, money does not make money - commodities and goods make money.  Entrepreneurs dont save money, they invest, expand and project ideas with enthusiasm and one day probability will fall into they're favour and they hit it big time! Speaking from personal experience, I made it rich, more money than most I had but its not all that! Money comes with way too much dark energies. Pe

 Next month will mark 5 years from I started the phantom planter and it will also mark 6 years from I gave up the booze! It's in black and white right there - 1 year escaping the demon drink trap and look what was created - "The Phantom Planter"! I still smoked weed every day after I stopped drinking but the day I setup the phantom planter me and Mary Jane aka weed had an official divorce. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed my relationship with weed if used the right way. Weed and yoga is what Shiva is believed to bring back from the heavens and doing yoga on weed is what I did every day for years.  Much of the weed these days though is genetically modified and way too strong. Its putting kids heads away making many Bipolar and very moody until they get a smoke.  Weed is a very complex herb and people need to know what strains they are smoking in accordance with they're personality type. You shouldnt be just buying whats on the street and smoking it, you should find

Seed collecting time.

 The Yew Tree Berry - One of the most deadliest things around, eat three of these seeds and your a goner, although the only part of the yew tree thats not poisonous is the red flesh around the seed which is edible but dont go putting these things in your mouth anyway! Now really is peak time to be out seed collecting from our native trees and start to grow your own trees for phantom planting. I believe its everyone's duty and responsibility to be doing this and its also a great way to get out and learn and connect to nature. Many people say social media is not good for our mental health, I guess that all depends on what your using it for, with every negative in life comes an equal or even greater positive as Napoleon Hill says. Social media is intended by its creators to make money and to control, a form of brainwashing but if you look through the cracks for me its the best thing ever for getting positive messages out there and learning first hand from real people doing real good t
