ReplyDeleteI love the way you've done this post and so many of them resonate with how I felt about the event. Loved it for the bloggers, hated it for the occasional cliques. Loved it for seeing friends, hated it for avoiding people I can't bear. Loved the brands, hated that they created another brand area which took away from sitting. Loved the food, hated that I had to sit on the sodding floor like a child to eat.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great review. You are so good at summing up things in so few words. Lovely to meet you again - must do it again same time next year! X.
ReplyDeleteThis is aa great blog
