Tweet-Up

I’m not very good at marketing and networking and all that. Every year, I tell myself to do more of it, but somehow the seed sowing and the planting out and the weeding and the picking and the floristry etc etc take up all my time and ”getting out there” ends up being pushed down the list.
But this year, I am determined to get better at it. As a start I went to a Tweet-Up, arranged by the good folk at Marry Me In Somerset the other night at The Manor, a beautiful venue just outside Wellington. It’s just a gathering of people on Twitter in the wedding industry – a chance to mingle and network and chat to people you wouldn’t otherwise get to meet.
One of the lovely people I met was Sarah Godsill, an artist who stands discreetly in the corner and sketches your wedding. I just thought it was a lovely idea and, as it’s something most people would never have thought of, wanted to spread the word a bit.
That’s me on the left. Check Sarah out.
And if you’re on Twitter and are interested, I’m @jwblooms.

Much nicer than having someone flash a camera in your face.
