Well it's only been 1.5 years since I have posted....oops!!

Things haven't stopped for me they have just got a lot busier, hence why I don't update my page nowhere near as often as I should and I always forget to take photos of what I've been up too 🙂!
So here's a couple of snaps from yesterday and some of today's jobs...

Oh and keep an eye out for a Christmas giveaway!

Well I've been slack!! Just realised I haven't posted for two months...but what a busy two months it's been!

Beautiful Weddings x 2 in the last week
Combined 50th birthday party for a lovely husband and wife the day after a wedding 🥳

Thank you to those who have recommended me, had catering from me, helped me or just purely supports me. Its been fun, challenging, long, rewarding and my confidence in what I do is growing.

Thought the fridge needed a little organising....found some sad looking veg, pulled out the juicer and walla a healthy energising drink 👌😋 but also found a cider so it was a hard choice on what to have 🤣
