I think he never took it any further because he did not like having the gift of mediumship,he thought it more of a curse than a gift.
But he always told me before he passed,he would be in touch and he has kept that promise.
The medium who gave me his messages was astounded that hubby came through so quickly after death.
By the way,meant to ask you before,what is Sinti? Forgive my ignorance.
Hi, My Grandmother married one of the German Gypsy refugees from Hitlers Germany in the 1930's. Many of the Continental Gypsies are Sinti, so we changed from Rom to Sinti, which you will always find signifies a Continental Gypsy as opposed to an "English" Gypsy.
My female forbears were all "Black Cherry Girls", dark skin, black hair, and were "English" gypsies and I myself have the leanness and thick hair of what you might call the traditional Gypsy appearance, so the fact of being Sinti is only of significance in the matter of (then) being forbidden to pass any knowledge on in any written fashion, everything had to be learned orally or not at all!
I myself ended up in the medical profession, and although semi-retired now, I still maintain a large private practice which keeps me busy every day. Not bad for someone who started School at nine!
Lastly, Your Husband was absolutely correct, I know only one Lady with the "sight" and it has only brought her great unhappiness and little financial recompense, she is constantly pestered at all times by others and has largely withdrawn from society as a result.

That is so interesing to know. My hubby's family were also of black hair and eyes,particularly my step daughter. She was a beautiful looking girl.
He took me once to meet some relatives who stlll lived in the most beautiful Romany caravan. It was absolutely spotless and the kind of china you dream about.
I used to love the stories he told me about the customs of the Romany gypsies,so interesting.
Apparently,some of them used to own some of the fairgrounds,I'm talking about the old time 'roundabouts' from years ago.
That is true about never writing anything down,everythng was agreed with a 'handshake' and a 'gentleman's agreement'.

Hi, I took the liberty of looking at your members profile photo, (I havn't got one) and perhaps I may take the liberty of saying that I see the following: Ambition, desire for fame and boldness in enterprise...would I be correct here?
In the matter of Gypsy living vans, any Gypsy will tell you, in their own way of course, that there is nowhere to "tan their hatch" anymore and we all live in Houses now!
Nowithstanding the distorted view that most have of the travelling life that we all sit around the fire playing our Gypsy violins, the reality is of a three mile walk in the morning to get water in the biting cold. It is a dreadful life and I am glad to be free of it.
My legacy is a headful of useless knowledge that has little relevance to modern life, including the system of fortune telling using the 52 card pack.

Yes,you are right. When I was working,I was very ambitious,my line of work was computers. When I resigned a position,it was always to better myself. Not for the better salary but to learn more.
My stepson also carries the Romany looks more so my stepdaughter. He is 6ft 4ins,built lke a brick and is truly awesome with his black curly air and eyes like black diamonds. He also weighs about 25 stone!
If I could put a photo up here,I would place one,he is a giant of a man.
No knowledge is useless,I have found over the years,that those small items tucked away in our minds,always seemed to come to the fore when we need them.

Hi, I am over 6' myself but I am afraid that I am no Giant!, more a modest 11 stone. I must admit that those things from my earlier times are always with me, I count markstones, observe those mark trees still standing, turn aside when there is a Magpie in the road, see still even after all these years a gypsy mark on a wall. However, the old trackways are largely no more save in a few places, but I can still steer my course by church doorways and recognise those spots where it is not good to be.
It's all a relic of a bygone time and age really, and I am not sure that things today are better, just different. I observe however, that in spite of all the howling about global warming, that the weather here has turned just about 14th. February, which although today called St.Valentines day, is the traditional day for breaking camp and taking to the road.
So some things are the same!
