We do appreciate an rsvp even if it is a 'no'. A 'no' from you means we won't contact you about that specific event again, reducing emails in your inbox. Some wise words about event etiquette below.

After a 4pm arrival yesterday, we had a little stroll and undertook a girls versus cheese challenge. Cheese won and my dreams were certainly interesting last night. Can't wait to discover more today.
Accommodation: Mercure Lille Centre

Dish Enjoyed: Welsh au Maroilles with chips!

Do you love ABBA like I love ABBA? Today we became DABBA!!
The ABBA museum is a must in Stockholm, absolutely loved it. I mainly took photos of costumes to not spoil the surprise if you are going but a cheeky lip-synch shot snuck in from my audition.
Do book your tickets in advance and stick to your time slot!
