Today I came across a video on TikTok of a boy who went to visit Nick’s grave, and I thought it would be lovely if someone planted a fruit tree nearby. It would be a lovely tribute to the legacy he left for so many people. The only thing is, I think I’ve been told it’s private property(?) But anyway, it’s just an idea I’ve had that I think would be lovely.

Hi! First of all, well done for posting such brilliant stuff and drawings – you’re incredibly talented in everything you share here💓 I’m not sure if I should mention this, but here goes: About six months ago, maybe, I had a dream that woke me up with a start and left me with an indescribable feeling. I dreamt about Nick Drake; it was a short dream. Basically, he’d come to visit our house and I was sitting with my family in the living room when he suddenly appeared from behind the door. He was very tall, of course, and was wearing a brown or black suit – I can’t quite remember which. He was walking very slowly until he stood in front of me. Then he held out his hand and I took it (it wasn’t solid matter any more; it was made of plasticine – I don’t know exactly how to explain it, but it wasn’t matter as we know it). And then he said to me: “Look, this is nothing (referring to the physical body); when we cross over to the other side, we’re just light. I’m fine; I’m very happy there.” And that’s where the dream ended. I know this might come as a bit of a shock to anyone who isn’t spiritual or doesn’t believe in these things, but the message got through to me. And I swear I could see him perfectly – a completely clear image.
