I didn’t mean to start this entry so downbeat. That is what I wrote when I first started this paragraph, which was originally three paragraphs below where it is now. I have moved it up to get some good news out first, because there is a lot of goodness and a lot for me to be grateful about at the moment. For one thing, A year on the back of an envelope sold out all 10 copies in Mockingbird Gifts in Abergavenny, and also sold out 6 copies in Crickhowell Resource & Information Centre before being restocked and selling another 2 so far (as of 24 December when I visited). That is 18 copies in total, sold to people I don’t know without me there to market it! A big deal for me and I’m really grateful to those two local shops for taking a small stock on.
