I will never forget the look of disapproval mixed with amazement, when Helen realised i had kept the accelerater pedal flat to the floor in the blue bedford ambo she sold me, all the way from Nottingham to suger loaf mountain in Wales . . . bless her , more damage is done to a diesel engine idleing than at full throttle . . . . . . . . Love and light to you Helen x

I too have fond memory's of Helen at festivals and on mushroom hill site. Unfortunately as an adult I went to say hello and was shocked at how rude and arrogant she was. Sad really.

@JupiterLune she is good at it ain't she !!

I lot of people think she is a Total Bitch for some reason.

Perhaps they know her a little better than you.

[SimplisticSusans7o67]

Ain't no peace in the farmyard when Helen is around !!

Give it us a break honey it's time to move on and learn the lessons we are given by the Goddess to enable us to grow SPIRITUALLY not perpetuate CONFLICT.

I guess you would be happily burning and looting with the other kids given half a chance !

Times have changed and we have even less freedom on one level but many more opportunities on plenty of others.

The age of sites run by big (smack) dealers is thankfully well behind us now.

Peace ;-)
