Fleetwood Mac's Songbird: Christine McVie

If you listen to the interview posted "Christine's Island Discs" she does talk at length about her mother's psychic abilities and how she just wanted to have a normal mother. Although her mother kept much of this part of her life private but there would be all kinds of strangers showing up at the house, etc.
As far as details about the "orange grove" she talked about this during a 1988 Rockline interview with the band to promote the "Greatest Hits" album. It seems Stevie likes to mention it more than Christine. It was brought up as a question to ask if the album cover was an orange blossom in related to the "orange grove." Christine said the album cover was not related to her mother but I believe the cover is an orange blossom? (I forget).

Thank you for the information. I made some google searches for the 1988 Rockline interview. All I could find were some CD trade sites that don't seem to have been updated for years. Do you know anywhere I can download this interview?

Christine’s mother held seances too. She was basically a witch. It would have been interesting if she had lived longer and known the Rumours band.

Not sure if it was Rockline. Or Tony Pig's.. something or another... Maybe, Mary Turner???

But, they had asked the band where the Orange Grove came from. And Christine laughed really loud and said, "Shhtevie and Lindseyyy." And everyone laughed.

That's all I remember.

Is it the one where Billy says that he started out in life “as a small child”? The band was back in classic interview form with that one: elegantly bored, somewhat sarcastic, cliquey, sharp, good-looking (in the press photos for it). That’s the Fleetwood I miss.
