Hurray, yippee and hallelujah ... Heartland Season 5 Part 1 is finally on it's way. I have phoned the distributor (again) and they have given me a strict release date of the 3rd of July.

I've put it up on the website so you can pre-order it now, but I won't charge any credit cards until it's ready to ship. Sometimes there are last minute delays in distribution, so I will leave everyone's money in their accounts until the last minute.

If you haven't started watching Heartland yet, get in and order the earlier seasons now. It's totally addictive, guaranteed to please the entire family both male and female, AND it's on sale ... $19.95 per volume until the 4th June.

I mentioned there was a new family movie released in the USA about a month ago, which many of you pre-ordered. My box of DVD's I duly ordered didn't arrive, didn't arrive, didn't arrive but I now know why.

The movie is going to be released in Australia on the 10th July, so my USA order was cancelled by the distributor.

The good news is that it will now play on all Australian players without a problem. The bad news is that it is now more expensive.

I will send all the pre-orders I have at the original price quoted, but any new orders with have to be at the Australian release price. Bummer!

ABOUT THE MOVIE

Fifteen-year-old Megan Shephard and her parents will do anything to save their struggling farm. When the family discovers a wild stallion in a nearby forest they begin to wonder if this could be the answer to their prayers.

Kris Kristofferson and Jodelle Ferland star in this heartwarming and inspiring tale that celebrates the spirit of family and the amazing courage and determination it takes to defeat all odds.
