My first Siamese was a
gift in 1963. I was a newly married newcomer to the town of Nelson
in Lancashire and from my house I had a clear view of Pendle
Hill, an eerie sight when shrouded in swirly mists and where,after
a snowfall,you could see the plain outline of a ‘special’
lady on her broomstick. I was not therefore surprised to discover
the wonderful stories of the country areas around Pendle, full
of ‘witchcraft’ and ‘spells’ and avidly read
the ‘Lancashire Witches’ by Harrison Ainsworth and
the novel ‘Mist over Pendle’ by Robert Neill. Within
a couple of years I was actually living in a seventeenth century
farmhouse a stone’s throw away from the witchcraft village
of Roughlee where it all happened..............
I had had perfect guidance with
my choice of PREFIX !!
