FAREWELL PRINTFINE, WELCOME STRAMONGATE PRESS

I learned with great regret that the splendid printers, PRINTFINE, were in administration
after a difficult period trying to save the company. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who
helped to make such lovely books for the series of Nanna Strawberry stories. Best wishes
to all the staff whose jobs disappeared and now seek new ones.

The regret was also accompanied by pesonal concern for future Nanna Strawberry
books which will complete the set of twelve. I included Stramongate Press in Kendal
in my quest for the most appropriate printer to complete the books in matching style
to previous ones, and am pleased that Peter has confirmed that they will be able to fulfill
the remainder of the series to the same specifications and good match. Whew! Relief!
Peter knew Printfine well, regards them as very good printers and is sorry to hear of their
demise.. Wayne Stewart will continue to complete the artwork and pdf, I will continue the
illustrations, occasionally helped by Caitlin for some pony scenes which she is very good at.
Dependig on her study commitments.  Book 8 is now underway:

           Nanna Strawberry Remembers Billy...Joan's Strawberry Roan

                                          (the word roan means horse)
 (strawberry is created by an equal mix of white and chestnut hairs to create pinkish colour)
