You may have heard a strange noise earlier on today – it was me squealing with glee.
Why? Read on to find out …

Well, we’ve only gone and blooming well done it – yes, we’ve just hit the £20,000 target set to raise during the All Counties Craft Challenge!
*pops champers and guzzles gleefully – spits out as I’m supposed to be driving later*
THANK YOU ALL for helping to make this happen!
Once again my sincerest thanks for all of the help and support you have shown for this challenge over the last, almost, year.
All my love.
J :)
Well done you! Any update on the Christmas Eve 2015 draw?

Awesome news! Well done John for raising not only the magnificent sum of money, but for also highlighting the job that Mind does, and also showing us the crafting we do is good for our mental health.
Also a special well done for Maisie for carrying you around the country in style. The girl has done well.
Good luck in the final few weeks. Xx

Couldn’t be more delighted for your herculean effort to have paid off in such a handsome fashion. Wanted to come to the Dumfries day on Saturday, but so disappointed to see it was sold out before I could be sure I could be there. I hope you will return one day, though, and do another day on SnC

Hiya John
👍👍👍Well done you! I just read the email to my Mister and he’s proper chuffed for you too 👏👏👏
We both say you’ve put one hell of an effort in as well as quite a sacrifice for this and we’re so glad you hit the target… And well ahead of schedule too!
We’ll be raising a cuppa to you and to Maisy (of course!) -I can’t have the champagne… and we hope the last weeks of the challenge go without a hitch.
Big hugs to you and all the other visitors to your blog,
