Launch hosted by Willowdale Lodge in
Kokstad on 12th October
Milner arrived
at the B&B at about 6pm and Mrs Pie Dorning, who lives across the road,
accompanied me to the Willowdale Guest House. This small farm resort is about
10km out of Kokstad on the road to Umzimkhulu.

There was a good crowd at the launch - about 40 people, mainly white farmers from the district. The launch went extremey well and over 20 books were sold. After the launch we had snacks and drinks and I was back at the B&B by about 10pm. Willowdale is an excellent venue for a book launch - it is run by Max and Nikki who hold regular historic evenings. Their website is at this link.
Left Willowdale at about 9pm... tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of the Kokstad Museum!
