    1. Hello Val - Yes! I know the stone cottage up by Windsor House really well.

      My association with Walhalla dates back to my earliest memories in the late 70's, although my family's association pre-dates that. My grandfather had a contract with the Railways Department to remove several thousand of the sleepers from the line. He was friendly with the Hartrick family. When I first began Nursing, I had the pleasure of caring for May Rumph, the former matron of the Walhalla Hospital. She was such a lovely woman.

      We've have a little bit of work left to do on the novel before its September release, but we're really pleased with how it's shaping up. I hope this love letter to Walhalla will be as warmly received as possible.

      Best Wishes Val.
