The festival was successful on so many levels that it would be easy to forget that the ultimate test is yet to come and I truly have no idea what will happen. I remain hopeful and extremely positive but will not rely on the success or failure of one part of the project to dictate the whole. So, as my fingernails take a hammering, I work on the next phase. I have a number of ideas but the favoured one at the moment is to go to the Eden Festival near Dumfries to pass out some more books at the weekend. I only found out about it yesterday from an artist in Edinburgh so it might be too late. I’m working on it.

In the meantime, a young lady (Valeria) from the National Library of Scotland posted a cool entry on the NLS blog. Thanks, Valeria.
