Merry Christmas
Hi there,
We wish all of our readers a very Happy Christmas and send our best wishes for the New Year. I realise that many of you may not be Christian, but it is a time of great festivity and rejoicing for those of us who are, so I’d like to presume upon your good will and share it with you.
There will be no newsletter next week as that coincides with Christmas Eve and I have other commitments. We will resume production in late January, although if something momentous happens, I’ll try to post a news item.
Thanks for your support during the year, both financial and promotional. Lots more people seem to be commenting on the articles, as well, which may show that we are doing something right!
Best regards,
Michael Cook
