Apologies for the break in service

Alex here.  

Hi to all you, firstly I am so sorry 
for the delay in posting this

I am sadly in poor health presently and have been unable (for the first time ever) to put together the challenge for this fortnight. 

Service will resume as normal on the 7th of October under the new leadership of the lovely Barbara, who I know will be supported by the fabulous team who have helped keep this challenge going over the years.

I would like to say a huge thank you to 

Abbey, who like myself had to make this sad decision to slow down, and let me take the baton, all that time ago.

All of you for your support over the last several years.

The designers past and present.

The wonderful sponsors over the years, some sadly no longer creating the wonderful images we have had the privilege to use.

Last but not least Barbara who I know will keep this fab challenge going and make it better for all.

So without further ado let me announce
the  Winner, Top 3 & Honorable Mention
from challenge 198
