Amy Thompson Writer Creative freelance writer and event planner. Copywriter, Planner and Marketer! I am Amy! I don't want to toot my own horn BUT I am an expert in all.

I could list all my qualifications here but without experience they mean nothing so let's talk work, business, home and family. I'm a fierce advocate that with the right content and copy your business will succeed...put this alongside a lot of planning, organising and motivation. Being an Event Manager for over 15 years married (no pun intended!) with a wedding planner, administrator, virtual assi

stant, writer, researcher and hospitality guru and you've got yourself... well me! It's like one of those meetings but my addiction involves a laptop, typing, research and a lot of spreadsheets. As long as the diet cokes are cold, the laptop is charged and there is ink in my pen and spare paper I'm happy. I've been an event planner for years; even in my teens it was me who organised the parties, the school fundraisers, helped at parent teacher evenings, volunteered for everything and then took over editing the yearbook on the side just to keep busy. I like being involved, I like helping and I love it when a plan comes together! After gaining a huge amount of experience and expertise running my business for over 10 years, I chose to take my business on a different path. My organisational, business strategies, social media skills, researching and writing skills have transferred perfectly into Freelance Writing. I create strategies whilst giving assistance, copy, content, a friendly chat, a proactive plan and when needed a critical eye. I help businesses as well as the people in them to thrive, increase motivation, become more focused and get results. Creating copy and content for businesses gives them the right words to attract and gain their target audience. When I am not writing and organising you will find me enjoying family life, marching through the fells and dales of The Lake District, gorging on the wonderful Cumbrian cuisine and having a glass of wine in our local pub. Or I'll be running an event for the PTA or fundraising for a local cause!

Morecambe is my new favourite place to go!

I love the sea, it's filled with possibilities.

Wandering down the prom to the pier, kids in the distance on scooters, wind in your hair, gloves on to stop the cold. After a few hours of collecting shells, playing on the playground and looking out to the sea, it's time for hot chocolate and milkshakes! There's even the possibility of winning a teddy and a keyring in the arcade - who doesn't love a 2p machine!!

The sheer joy of spending a few hours together by the huge expanse makes my troubles feel small, my world closer and more compact and the realisation that there's so much more out there.

This week is the 48th Lakes Hospitality Trade Show!

I love organising the event, in our small team of 3. Everything from PR, marketing, newsletters, website and social media management alongside the day to day planning.

This year there are over 160 businesses taking stands, 10 live kitchen demos from 6 chefs/businesses, a food hub and over 1800 visitors that will greet our doors!

It's a fantastic event that, when it started, was primarily for hospitality businesses within the Lake District but has grown over the years and turned into a trade show for all. A range of businesses from a variety of industries and locations now attend the show in the form of exhibitors and visitors.

Having a business is tough, isn't it, but we aim to help everyone. Whether it's with your finances, photography, marketing, web design or equipment, and of course there's still everything for those in hospitality and tourism, from food and drink to tableware, linen and crockery. We've even got wholesale ranges for shops!

If you are in the area on Wednesday 26th or Thursday 27th come over to the Exhibition Hall at Junction 36 between 10am-4pm and take a look!

Did I mention it's FREE to attend!?!🤩

Well, what can I say...but, wow!

It's quite lovely out there, isn't it?

09/01/2025

It might well be freezing but it's also beautiful!

Remember to take a break, take a breath, don't rush and take things slow. January isn't for rushing, it's for taking your time and easing back into things. So, no matter how many resolutions and ideas you have for 2025, just take it step by step.

Happy January all!

Off to get back into the routine...who is with me?!

I didn't sleep last night.

It's chaotic, this time of year, isn't it?! Those extra tasks make our to-do lists feel neverending. From school activities, wrapping presents, buying presents, the pressure of everything to be just so. It's a lot.

Took a walk to clear my head and was presented with this view of serenity. Of boats floating peacefully, of crunchy leaves and pale blue skies.

No matter what is happening, remember to take a moment. A moment of calm to regain your thoughts...and to get away from your to-do list!

It was a beautiful weekend for a walk. Not too cold, not too long and hardly anyone about. It's been ages since we have been to Coniston and it didn't disappoint.

Lovely bit of geocaching and Pokemon hunting which makes every walk seem to fly by. Hopefully just the first walk of many wintery strolls.

Absolutely flaming beautiful day in Windermere today!

Get out and walk! On your own, with friends or with music blasting through headphones - anything to get you moving and heart pumping.

Happy October!

The last quarter of 2024 has begun. It feels like just a moment ago and we were in shorts and t-shirts, and now here we are - pumpkins galore!

Wishing you all a gloriously fun filled Autumn with stews, scarves, pumpkins, witches, movie nights, cosy weekends, hot chocolate, blankets, conkers and slow walks in the hills.

Absolutely beautiful evening...despite having to walk incredibly slowly, so these two could catch

So lucky, and grateful, for the amazing weather we are having at the moment as it's been effortless to get the children...and us, out and about!

I am completely biased but we do live, in quite possibly the most stunning place.

Take a walk ~

Clear your head and pop out for a walk - it makes you think, it makes you take a breath, it allows you to get out of a rut, it gives you the chance to do nothing; to get away and realign your thoughts.

Also, the view can be pretty good too!

Went walking yesterday!

Finally had the time to get out and just walk. It was blooming lovely!

A quick 3.5 miles up at High Dam was just what we needed to get back into the groove...you know, just in time for Autumn. Hoping that the weather is kind to us over the next few months and we can get out again.

First time trying the remote control shark, fantastic find on Amazon.

Made it to the last full week of the summer holidays!!

Tbh we've made the whole 6 weeks up. (I can actually hear your panic and intake of breath!) Completely flying by the seat of our pants and hoping for the best - it's not for the faint hearted!

I never put a lot of pressure on holidays anymore - working from home, my husband working in the busy tourist industry, the crazy weather....and the guilt...sometimes not planning is better than a full schedule.

Before we go head first into the next busy school year, we are continuing to take things slow, see friends and enjoy picnics in the lounge, because there is no way that the ground is dry enough after all this rain!

One week left then I'm gutting my house from top to bottom, so I can fill it with autumnal wholesomeness!?!

We loved seeing all the incredible and diverse murals and street art throughout London. Suddenly walking through a quiet park, we came across this utterly beautiful depiction of 'The Battle of Cable Street'.

I love to find the lesser known areas, without hoards of tourists crowding round, where it's just us in the 'normal' neighbourhoods that people call home.

Make sure you try to catch a glimpse of the 'behind the scenes' as well as what's in the foreground of life.

Edinburgh ~

You've been lovely, but it's 100% time to get the train home!
Three days of rest, catching up with friends, spending time with loved ones, bus rides, shopping, eating and slow walks around town. Finished off with an emergency doctors appointment, for the youngest, who has tonsillitis!! Life doesn't stop, just cause you're on holiday.

Holidays are meant to be just that - a change in routine, a chance to relax and a break from the everyday normality and humdrum. In truth, relishing in the 'I have no timescale or need for savings life' for a week, gives you the opportunity to realise how much you like your own bed and your boring routine!!

So, it's a quick check of the bank account, with one eye closed, before it's back to work, trips to the park, movie days, walks and, I imagine, anything free for the last few weeks of summer!?!
