Wow! What a whirlwind. About a week ago, Cal and I thought we were going to be in one Scottish newspaper, having done an interview with a reporter after they had seen our story in Dunoon's local paper. As the day progressed, we were shocked to find the story spreading, first to other UK papers, and then across the globe. We were soon getting messages from people in Australia, New Zealand, North and South America, Russia and Thailand. At first it was a bit overwhelming. It's a very weird feeling, knowing so many people know who you are, and know about your little mix up at an auction. The stories seemed to get more and more sensationalized as the day progressed, and unlike here on my blog, we had absolutely no control over how things were told by all these news sources. But what came from having our story spread all over the internet was amazing. Cal and I are incredibly moved by the enormous amount of support, the incredibly kind words of encouragement and the general positivity we have been sent by so many people. From all over the world, people have taken some time out of their days to follow our Facebook, Instagram and Blog, and to email, message and comment us such lovely well wishes. The scale of this project can feel very daunting at times. It is so nice to know that so many people from all over the world are supporting us as we take this on. We would just like to say a heartfelt and sincere thank you to everyone who has sent us encouragement. I will be posting a new update very shortly, but for now, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sincerely, Cal and Claire A few of the articles we've found about our story.

We love y'all because we can relate to this so much. Who hasn't had a d'oh! moment and had to decide how to get back up, dust off the clothes (and each other) and move forward. Having a positive spirit makes all the difference. Sending good thoughts y'all's way from Willis, TX.

I read the story and just thought you two were such amazing people. Your big hearts really show and I know you both will have a wonderful life. I'm sure the Jameswood Villa will be a fantastic home and you'll have fascinating stories to share with the world about this spectacular place. I can't wait to keep following your progress. Blessings to you both and wishing you much success from Central Georgia, USA.

I just stumbled across the article about your purchase. What an amazing adventure you have ahead... How about doing a YouTube vlog on your purchase and restoration. You could generate funds that way. I will be following your journey.

Have you thought about setting up a GoFundMe page. It's amazing how community and humanist can pull together. I've read your story and believe you can smash this. The support is immense already and I feel like a GoFundMe page will help you even more. But then I also understand if you want to do this on your 4 feet! I wish you all the best In for filling this journey. My parents did this with an old old farmhouse. The results will 10000% be worth it!
