So last Sunday I got up nice and early, headed off to the train station with my Kindle, breakfast yoghurt and coffee in hand to journey up to one of my favourite places in the UK…Brighton!
My mission for the day? An informal blogger’s meet up organised by the lovely Skye. It was an intimate affair of six bloggers. We gossiped outside the Mash Tun under grey skies, talking everything from old school TV shows, zombie running apps, the latest blogger craze (Apocalips, hello?) and babies all the while enjoying people watching, munching on Pinterest inspired snacks (thanks to Skye and Lauren) and avoiding the eye of a rather creepy looking clown – Brighton Fringe was on, should’ve expected some odd ones walking around.
When the sun finally many an appearance, we decided to take to the lanes, popping into a vintage shop and Tiger (which I’m officially in love with!), before getting to the seafront. After a leisurely stroll down the pier – spotting some lovely Lindy hop dancers too! – we spent the last few moments together in the Pavilion Gardens, with the sun having dried up the grass enough for us to sit on till we went our separate ways to get trains/buses etc home.
And because we’re so organised – haha not – we managed to go the whole day without doing a group photo =S #Oops But the lovely bloggers who made it down were:
Skye from evenartichokeshavehearts
Lauren from Belle Du Brighton
Katie from Hook, Line & Sink Her
Michelle from DaisyButter
and Erin from E-Elise and the organisational force of nature behind Blogger’s Bookshelf. (Hate to pick favourite moments but it was great to finally meet Erin, seeing as we run a freaking blog together! :P)
All in all a chill day with some lovely people. We all agreed this type of meet up was definitely on the cards to do in the future – weather permitting! – so keep an eye out on the blogsphere for the next one :)
