    Oh I wish I could go! Lovely to see some great events though near me – I’m down here in Kent. (London is only a train ride away!) Thanks for posting!

    Hi Mesina, it’s cool that you’re close enough to city and yet able to enjoy country life. There’s loads happening, it’s hard to even whittle it down. The only barrier for me is the grim weather. Will do a ‘rainy days’ post soon!

    Oh! This might be a great distraction from the babyshow I’d love to be at! Thanks for sharing!

    Ah you’re not able to make it to the Baby Show? I might be there tomorrow, first time at ExCel. I usually enjoy the show so will report back. In the meantime also check out the latest post on Top Shop if fashion’s your thing :-)
