I must congratulate everyone who took part in the Midnight Walk.

It was both wonderful and magical with their lit-up bunny ears flickering away in the dark.

They were all chattering and laughing among themselves.

Cars were hooting and waving to them. I think they must have forgotten how very cold and windy it was.

Tut tut – one lady had fairy wings blowing away.

Another I saw was really stepping it out with the aid of a crutch.

If you knew anyone who was taking part, you must be really proud.

My congratulations also go to all the volunteer protection teams and to the bus that was ready for anyone that felt unwell, and all the volunteers giving out drinks, fruit, sweets etc.

Well done to every single one of you.

St Helena Hospice does such wonderful work and deserves every penny it gets from the walk.

Lastly, I would like to say many congratulations to all the people who help to make this event a success.

I hope it will always be able to keep going for the future.
