Happy New Year Blacklanders. May you and yours have the best year yet!
This last year, I didn't get going on the blog and broadsheet as I had wanted (I won't go into the reasons just now...) but I feel unwavering enthusiasm about researching and discovering Blacklands history (You honestly couldn't guess how many posts I've got going at once, I'm so excited to record everything I find out about everything ha ha), It's been on my mind all this last year, even though I haven't been writing it all down.
I've had a necessary break, but now I'm back. And, as I said, I have a lot of research on the go, so I should have a regular post or two out, and hope to get another broadsheet out too.
This time, though, I'm probably going to have to do it through a printers, since my old printer kept failing for the first one, and at least a third of the copies went into recycling (lucky I used recycled paper in the first place, so I didn't feel as bad as I otherwise might have done).
Unfortunately, this meant I didn't get a copy of the first broadsheet to everyone in the area as planned. I aim to start with those I didn't reach last time first for the next issue... just in case)
Anyway, good Blacklander folk, I wish you all a very Happy New Year, and hope you can join me discovering more about Blacklands history in 2026!
Happy New Year, Annelisa! I enjoyed your post on Grey Owl, and the spotlight you put on Hastings' own. I hope your 2026 is better than the last.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting. I'm glad you enjoyed learning about Grey Owl - he was a fascinating character (I especially enjoyed watching some of his videos with the beavers).
DeleteHave a great New Year, and I hope you will come back and discover about other Blacklands people and places!
I think this is a really nice shout. Here's to a good 2026 and look forward to reading what you find!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you could stop by and say hello. Let's hope for an excellent year ahead. I'm very much looking forward to researching the history of the area, and it makes it even more worthwhile when I know someone else is interested! See you again soon, I hope :-)
DeleteI'm interested in the history of the area. Good to see you are too. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad to be able to meet others who have the same interest. I'm learning so much, and it's such a great area to live in! Really glad you popped in to say hello :-)
