Incredible Day 2 of @tealeavesandreads third festival which is held in the hall across the carpark from the incredible #indiebookstore (forgive choice of music for this one- it’s too short; sadly can’t change it once posted! I’d suggest muting the post so you can read on without that ‘stuck record’ vibe going on 🤣)

Came home a little early but full of positivity and inspiration following a panel hosted by @ecwilsonauthor with @liz_fenwick @authorbythesea1207 and @staceymcneillauthor which helped me get off the fence I’ve been sitting on for months!
(More on that this week)

Lots of fun
Lots of friends
Lots of books
Lots of laughs
Lots of memories

Until next year…

I got a sage Wren last year and love it. How satisfying to see it drink the ink! And you could never look messy, it's windswept and fabulous x
