Hi Alan, I was one of the crowd at Clowance on Friday evening and have just checked out this site! Have to say what an inspiration you were and how motivated you made me feel! I’ve just done a masters in Clincal Education and the conversation we had inspired me far more than the course and I’m now going to revisist my education psychology!
I enjoyed your performance so much and have dusted off my dowser!
I shall certainly keep an eye on and use your website, I will also recommend it to my team of trainers.
Thanks again, hopefully we will see you again when we are back in April! Really would like to do one of your victorian seances!!
Very best wishes, Bev (the dowser)
Hi Bev,
Many many thanks for your kind words. I am pleased you enjoyed the session and hope that you will at least drop me an email when you’re in Cornwall next so that we can continue the conversations.
I have been trying to update and organise my on-line presence, so if you visit http://www.aljones.net you’ll get a better overview of the stuff I find myself becoming involved in.
Kindest regards
Alan
