Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh

Just back from a meeting with Valerie. She's been on door-knocking duty, visiting the kind folks who have offered to give us information on Blackboy Hill. One lady proffered this old cartoon, date unknown, from a personal folder full of World War I memorabilia. These are the things bringing this book to life:

Funding secured!

After months of planning, researching, writing, planning and more planning, it's a nerve-wracking moment to unwrap that Lotterywest letterhead and glance down...

and the words jump out: APPROVED!!!!!

The Blackboy Hill Project officially has funding to pay for an editor, fact-checker and full production of the book. This means that KSP can pass on the savings to the public, and sell the book at extremely low cost.

Oh Lotterywest, how wonderful art thou! I can't stop smiling!
