Featherfoot

After having spent two years or so living in the Bush I returned to Perth in 1995 and moved into a house in the suburb of Viveash, near the Swan River.

In everyday life Mrs Andrews was a farmer’s wife while in her other capacity the lady had built a formidable reputation as an extremely accurate channel for previously incarnated health professionals, scientists and other white-coat bods. The medical and scientific intricacies were way beyond my ken but I was told by well-heeled and credential-ed attendees that the detailed knowledge and advice she brought through was of the highest order.
