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!

Another lovely day in Brussels!

A great day of food, shopping, more beautiful buildings, tig on the street (cause it was a 45 minute walk and I couldn't be bothered to work out the bus route!), more food, Belgian institute of Natural Sciences, Parks galore and soooo much more.

Ended up in Wolf for card games, building Lego and a drink or two! Oh and then some sort of pokemon happened!

A few more days and it's back to normality...very much looking forward to vegetables, perhaps an apple or a full fruit salad! Not a sprout in sight!

Day trip to Brugge today. It's beautiful and ever so slightly more tranquil and green compared to the hustle and hustle of Brussels. 24,000 steps today, just off for a lie down!

We still ended up in a Lego shop....😳🤣

Chips, chips, waffles, crepes, pancakes, chips, mussels....soooo much food! I never want to see a chip again!

Just so you know, today started off with peeing rain and no coats, so we dived into a cafe for breakfast! Pastries are calorie free on holidays, and delicious!

We then spent a small fortune on a tour bus over to the Atomium...where you can also spend a fortune on a variety of activities!

Our way back did not go to plan when the bus driver went the wrong way so we ended up in the cold miles away from our next stop...then the Lego store closed early and the world ended for many of us 😬🤣

So off to a bar with burgers, this fixes everything!

Holidays are never as beautiful as a photo...but still just as memorable...just off for a glass of wine...😳

Day 1 in Brussels!

Didn't get here till 1pm but it's been a fab 7 hours wandering the streets in the glorious weather!

It's full to the brim of beautiful architecture, stunning gardens filled with floral displays and statues, incredible food, and an insane amount of tourists and locals. We retreated into a local for a drink and milkshake and then continued on, into the crowds, only to pause again for a beverage and pizza. Timings for food are completely all over the place...

When old and new combine.

As always, London you've been a pleasure!

Managed to find 48/120 Easter Eggs in the big egg hunt! Beautiful walk in Covent Garden, Knightsbridge, Sloane Square, good food and a bus ride to Battersea Power Station - it's an absolutely wonderful spot! And of course a trip to a Lego shop and plenty of Pokémon hunting.

A quick 6 hours before we get the Eurostar tomorrow 😄

I love Spring!

My garden is blooming lovely at the moment, I'm not just showing off, someone actually told me it was!😁 Okay, I'm showing off but just look at one of the many flowers it has produced.

Each morning I look down, from my bedroom window, onto my garden to see what has opened up, it's quite a beautiful sight to see the range of colours appearing.

I can't wait to take a peek at tomorrow's treats.

What's your favourite spring flower?? Are you a daffodil or a tulip lover?

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.

05/01/2025

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.
