After a year-long internal review, we regret to report that The BV has repeatedly caused unexpectedly high levels of enthusiasm across rural Dorset.
Findings include:
• Weekend conversations derailed by ‘Did you read that BV piece?’
• Excessive forwarding of stories to unsuspecting family members.
• Local businesses experiencing statistically significant boosts in visitors.
• Readers developing firm emotional attachments to our photographers. And our equestrian’s horses.
Further investigation shows that our Christmas issue – historically responsible for seasonal outbreaks of delight – is shaping up to be the biggest culprit yet. Forecast models suggest raised heart rates, involuntary smiling and a tendency to say ‘Dorset’s actually brilliant, isn’t it?’
We sincerely apologise for any disruption this may cause.
We will not, at this time, be reducing journalistic quality, local storytelling or photographic excellence.
Management has agreed to allow the cheer to continue unchecked. Please proceed to open our Christmas issue at your own personal joy level. You have been warned.
Sincerely,
The BV Team
P.S. The December issue is out now – filled to the brim and behaving exactly as predicted.
PPS – MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! From Laura & Courtenay
