One of the perks of upgrading your hotel room is that you get treated to Tesco magazine. #blessed.

London GLAM peeps! Would you be interested in a regular, informal meet up? Let's say, once a month after work at a venue in central London. No agenda, just a get together.

End of mo-mow May so we have a (kinda) lawn again! We still keep the bottom wild so the beasties have somewhere to hang out 🐛🐜🐞🦗🪲

Oh no! Hopefully we'll bump into each other at the next event! It's been a great but exhausting day. Just trying to decide on a lazy ready meal to keep us going through day 2!

Bagged me a copy! So nice to see it printed!
2025 Show Guide!

This here is what's called a hairline space. It is about 0.2mm wide and is one of 178 of them. This is the detail that goes into typesetting the Show Guide that nobody notices if you've done your job well. Enjoy the Show everyone! #mandhshow
A time range written as 09:45–10:25. Before the en-dash, there are three dots indicating the positioning of a hairline space.

Finally, a sunny day!
Two bowls of Caesar salad, a glass of beer and a glass of Malibu and pineapple on a wicker table next to a pond. The sun is shining and the vegetables are colourful!

Had a lovely surprise today - opened up Museums Journal to find a little article I wrote! Nice to end the week on a positive! 😊
