Long overdue zoom with @iamabigailhorne . Showed her Authors and Co books I owned and then introduced Abigail to my group. Turns out there were others in my house too as @debbiesmarks and others were keen to remind me! Enjoyed our chat but would like to do it face to face next time!

Finding a new use for @cheshirelifemag today at @nerdltd . @mstonimackenzie and I held a Vision Boardshop and lots of people brought Cheshire Life. So many wonderful photos including this one from a feature on @themproject2021 . With @sarahgormley7 @mamasignited .
Wouldn’t let anyone cut this up @cheshirelifeeditor !
One lady wanted pics of Anglesey and I was able to find her a feature on North Wales.
We had a brilliant day and most of the photos are on Toni’s phone so will share later xx

I am launching my short story competition this wee

I am launching my short story competition this week on my Facebook Group . This is sponsored by Caroline England and the winner gets to read it out at my Literary Lunch on October 4th in Knutsford. (or we can look for an actor if you are shy!)
Anyway I looked on Sian-Elin Flint-Freel posts from previous years (One of the Judges) and found this post from Covid Days in 2020.
Basically. the genius who is Aga Mortlock was keeping us occupied at the time by training us in various things. And one of those things was flat lay photography. We even had a flat lay competition.
This was one of the ways Sian used her lesson. Tips by Sian , Flat lay by Aga,
Love it so much I thought I would show you.
Projects like this were so valuable and I remember spending hours one sunny day ,arranging shells and flowers on the grass to create my own flat Lays
Thank you Aga and Sian , So grateful you are in my tribe along with so many other inspirational people @aga_mortlock_photog @sianelinbookmentor @cazengland1

Today @kirstyjameslymm @thegrowingnetworker and I

Today @kirstyjameslymm @thegrowingnetworker and I gave a talk for Alex and his sisters @altrinchamhq @conclubrestaurant
We talked about our #IWD event and as we were finishing people were going on their phones and booking on. We were so pleased. A room full of mainly strangers to us but not any more . We loved it so much especially as we haven't announced the speakers yet!
I even met a lady I last saw 30 years ago when we worked together as Children's wear designer.
Thank you @altrinchamhq
If you want to come on March 8th message me for more details xxx

Spent a few hours with this pair today hearing their plans which are exciting, @alifordphoto is starting subscription shoots in North Wales and Chester and I want to spread the word as I enjoy them so much. You get to collect a bank of great photos and network with new friends at the same time.
@ice_warrior1 was full of good plans too so all in all a great meeting #photoshootsession #welshnetworking #creativeconnections

Happy New Year
I have had a sign that 2023 will be a year full of little wins.
I have just walked to my village and this jacket was in the window in the @kismetcheshire sale. Now, I coveted this jacket since I tried it on with @ice_warrior1 . As part of one of my networking challenges ,I challenged @karinatstyle to style Angela and myself at Kismet . Didn't buy the jacket at the time as I already have a few leather jackets but now I will. Little wins like this cheer you up and make you smile. What more could you want in 2023?

RIP Vivienne Westwood. Whenever I went somewhere special or wore something special. Your necklace was there. And it always will be.

I have always loved PR as a tool for getting busin

I have always loved PR as a tool for getting business. This was my very first attempt at PR in 1971 . I had left Art college and was about to start a clothing range with a friend. I marched into Vogue with my designs and actually saw the editor who I think was Grace Coddington but I am not sure. She told me her friend was starting a magazine called Flair and sent me to see her. Her friend said she would feature my designs in a Christmas spread if i had a stockist. I then marched into @fortnums and they agreed to stock them. That kickstarted my childrenswear career. I also love the PR people in my business group including @writeontimeuk @nicolajrowleypr @zeuspragency and yesterday I loved a day in London yesterday working with @mayah_riaz on a PR Strategy Day. Being there with @katiewebsterstrategist @iamnaomivictoria was an extra bonus. Each PR person works in a different way and we can learn from them all and there is always something new to learn
Thank you for all you do.

Was so impressed by the work done @kidsbankbabybank this week. Only volunteered for a morning but it made me determined to donate a bit more myself. My husband got a few things and one of the ladies on my group donated two sackful of new toys which she had been Collecting to give to such a charity .
