Matlock The Hare

Pid-padding on...

   It can be hard at times to realise just how quickly the sun-turns pass, turn themselves into weeks, then moon-turns.  We're somehow already half way through the year, and as the sun-turns shorten, thoughts begin to turn to Autumn, and all the crumlush saztaculousness it brings...and the amount of work still left for Jacqui and I to do before we finish the book...

  However, first things first, and we were most peffa-grateful for the saztaculous clackety-janglers that are Shrewsbury Morris for their help with our Kickstarter prize draw to win two black-and-white original pen and ink drawings of Matlock and Ursula, held in Shrewsbury's town square during their shindinculous 'Drums, Dance and Dynamix' day on Saturday 19th July - despite the ever present threat of a cracksploding lid and rain!

Graydon Radford and Cath Brown from the saztaculous Shrewsbury Morris draw the two lucky winners from Matlock's majickal-chest of our Kickstarter-backers - despite the best efforts of some grey-haired clottabus to photo-bomb the occasion - honestly, where do they come from...?

As tension mounted, two names were effortlessly picked from the box, revealing the two winners to be Susan Hughes and John Grisswell - so congratulations to them both, the pictures will be on their way - and once again grillions of thanks to Shrewsbury Morris, for whom Matlock is peffa-proud to be associated with as one of their sponsors...

Susan Hughes and John Grisswell plucked from the majickal-box!

   Much of the last couple of weeks has been spent making rewards for our backers, together with writing and illustrating the book - alongside plans for a selection of Christmas goodies and curiosities, perfect for the most peffa-crumlushed 'Borascus'...of which there will be more in the next saztoblog...

...anyway, here's a sneak peak to get you in the mood....

   For now, though, 'tis time for us to be pid-padding on, back to Matlock's adventures in the many majickal-dales, and see just how well he's doing in trying to solve 'The Puzzle of the Tillian Wand' - which despite what he seems to think, might just turn out to be an oidy bit more tricky and twizzly than he expects...

Goodbye for now - and may all your pid-pads be peffa-crumlushed ones...
