Such an Amazing Weekend

Hi everyone, 
I hope today is treating you well. 
I hope you managed to catch some of the Lavinia fun this weekend 
It was the most amazing time, 
although I am shattered today 

It was so good to catch up with Tracey and everyone at HQ 




Always time for a cuddle with Jack 





I didn’t really get chance to take many photographs 
Here are a few , check out the Lavinia socials for more 

Great to demo alongside Tracey, Emma- Jo , Sarah , Mandy and Leesa. 





The icing on the cake was the live craft along with Sarah….
It was great fun 





Thanks to everyone who came to say hello..
Too many of you to mention…

but special thanks to those who did, who  gave hugs and 
Words of encouragement 





Eric had some special biscuits made for him…
He had one last night and loved it 

So many gifts, honestly 
You are all so kind 
Bless you all 





Thanks Diane for my amazing T shirt 





and Freda for my flowers.
My favourite colour 




I am blown away , thanks so much everyone 
Without you all, I wouldn’t do what I do 

Big hug
