Lovely news and lovely moments

 I received some lovely news through the week. The Mackay Regional Council (hosts of the Libris Awards, Australia's premier artists' book awards) contacted me to advise that they had purchased Red Card for their Collection.

Their collection is a very impressive one, as they acquire the winner of the prize and then go on to select books from amongst the finalists which they think will add value to their collection.

Back in 2022, they had purchased another of my books (a wee trio in fact) called Turning Point and it feels rather special that Red Card will joining them.

It's also just an interesting aside that both books are about similar issues; and both employ red, black and white. Rather different to my sisal soft, quiet palette.

So that was lovely. And just before that news we had three delightful days of blissful sunshine and there were some lovely moments to be captured within them.

And for the not so sunny moments, there are still beautiful sunflowers bringing some sunshine inside...

Because it felt like that regular programming had resumed this morning... sigh.
