🧶 Yarndale Weekend

What a weekend! Yarndale was simply amazing – it was so wonderful meeting so many of you in person. On Saturday night, I organised a meal for 26 of us at the lovely Bay Horse Pub – the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was just perfect. Thank you again to the Bay Horse team for looking after us so well. 💕

Here’s a snap of most of us together – memories to treasure until next year! 📸
