Black Mountain

Loads of benefits to flow from this

Dear friends,



Well in the last issue of my Diary I had asked people to vote in for Divis and Black Mountain to win a major award, hosted by the National Lottery.



Black mountain has for many gave inspiration and a sense of freedom. It is upon there that my partner and I sit on many occasions looking upon the streets of our childhood and beyond. It is also there where I pen many of my articles or many thoughts for articles come to mind within the tranquillity our Mountain provides.



Well Our Mountain, the peoples Mountain, had won the regional competition and in doing so was to represent the North. This in itself was an awesome achievement, yet in representing the North it then had to take some really major projects from all regions, from Scotland to England.



Indeed it had emerged as the only heritage project in the finals having beaten off stiff competition from 22,000 entries to reach the final 12.



Then last night the overall winner was announced live on the National lottery, and Our Mountain – the peoples Mountain had won in its entirety. Awesome!



I would like to thank the many people who had voted for the Mountains, as I know many around Ireland and abroad had voted, and sent it on for others to vote. The Andersonstown News who carried pieces on the competition and urged votes also championed the issue .



Again thanks for all those thousands of people who had voted in the process and now for now, my partner and I are away up the Mountain, Our Mountain, the peoples Mountain, The award winning Mountain, to sit upon its inspirational side – and to just chill at its new found status.



Once again thanks all.



PS – For those who are interested my on line Diary will go up on Wednesday at 1.30pm. It is an extensive piece, will probably be about 10,000 words. It detail my developing thoughts past and present on issues such as Race and Racism, Internationalism, Education, the Irish peace process, Republicanism, Loyalism, Capitalism, NIPSA, working Class areas, left parties, War, imperialism, Street Seen, and much more.
