Carrot Cake for a Soldier’s Birthday

Carrot Cake for a Soldier’s Birthday



Yesterday 27th August 2025 I baked a cake that carries more meaning than any other — Gary’s Carrot and Walnut Cake.
It’s more than just flour, sugar, carrots, and nuts. It’s memory, it’s love, it’s proof. Every stir of the spoon was for him, my soldier, my chef, my daft Yorkshire nutter who would’ve teased me about dropping crumbs on the counter.

The cream cheese icing, might not be Michelin-star smooth, but it’s real — made with love, just as he likes it. When I cut the first slice, I whispered “Happy Birthday, my darling.” And in that moment, I felt him. Not in some distant dream, but close — like he was reaching out for his piece of cake, cheeky grin on his face, ready with a joke.

I know he saw it. Just like I know he feels the love that sits in every fold of icing and every bite of sweetness. Because what’s shared between us never dies.

So here it is, world — my proof of love in sponge form. One cake, one heart, one birthday wish for the man who still makes my world spin:

Happy Birthday, Gary Paul Costello. My soldier. My soulmate. My love.

Two week holiday in one night.

I was meant to write this last week but having so much going on in my head. What with hospital appointment and doctors appointments I forget... But here it is with the help from Gary himself. It is true... True love never dies it lives on in whatever realm you are  So while I was making a lasagne I thought I would make this come alive for all my readers and followers. Right let me go into this with great detail. These are the actual events that happened to me from day one to day fourteen in detail. Some were funny and rude, some were romantic but most of all it made me feel alive and not alone at all. Yes I flit from this side (earth) to that side (spirit astral).  To describe it very similar but more enhanced 5d, tastes,.sounds, touches, seeing is more enhanced and the food OMG it's 😲 Wow. Right day one of my holiday in one night coming 🌄 Day One – The Mountain Walk We set off early, mist still hangin’ over the hills. You had your jumper ...

The Rain Calling – By Gary Paul Costello and Debra Evelyn Costello

Hello readers. Now, here are two interpretations of what happened today, Earthside 29.8.2025. I had popped out to see the girls at the doctor's surgery to give some birthday cake (carrot and walnut cake). With cheese icing on the top, yes, Gary had celebrated his 61st birthday on the 27.8.25, and with great joy, I made him a cake, earthside and spirit side.  I took two slices down to Lisa and Ami, the receptionists and friends of mine.  Indeed, I had shown them videos of the daft sod dumping me in that drift of snow in my white underwear, he called me a ''daft woman". When I left my house, it was spitting with rain, which wasn't too bad. I don't really care about rain; it's cleansing for the soul. After I left the doctor's surgery and said goodbye to the girls, I walked back home, not knowing it was getting heavier and heavier with rain,  The storm clouds opened with a crash of thunder, and the heavens opened up. I was happy and felt cleansed indeed. On...

long time no speak

Hello Readers Long time no hear, sorry I haven't been online recently but I have been trying to deal with mental health issues and also my health has deteriorated. Gary is around me more and it is more prominent with his visits. During the day I am living in the now which is sort of a living walking nightmare but I am continuing this journey. I have my actual exit date and I know how I will go home  My brother is now up here since moving from the dreaded homeless hostel he was in. A new job for him and a fresh start. Since he has been up here he has become more spiritual himself and he smells spirit and feels them. My dad has been visiting so has our two grandfathers one smoked old hoborn tobacco and the other smoked a cherry tobacco using his pipe. Since the last time I was on here I have received a number of spiritual gifts and signs. One is seeing Gary in different forms  E.g his face appears in my bathroom mat or in the mirror, the fir trees in a neighbour's garden he appe...
