On Tuesday, I received an email from John Elworthy, the current News Editor at the Cambs Times. On Feb 4th, he will take over as Editor.
In his email John said he had been admiring my blog for some time and asked me to pop by his office to discuss a regular illustrated column to appear weekly in both the Cambs Times and The Wisbech Standard.
I met with him yesterday when he explained that he loved what I was doing and didn't want to change a thing for the column, I am simply to select one of my blog entries each week for print.
My column premieres on February 8th.
I am both shocked and ecstatic! Who would have thought blogging could open such doors?
A huge thank you to all those who frequent this blog, your presence is so encouraging and your comments continue to make this blog a pleasure for me update each day.
