On Friday, I awoke at the normal time for a work-day and set off to catch a coach to London (instantly regretting the decision to save money – if I’d paid a little more for a train ticket I could have had a nice lie-in). The reason? I was going to meet some of the fabulous ladies from the UK Lady Bloggersgroup, for what would hopefully be the first of many meetups!
This being a first attempt, we were expecting a few hiccups along the way but with the help of Twitter we all managed to find each-other quite easily, and settled down for a drink and a chat – cocktails at lunch time for some of us! After breaking the ice, we took the tube to South Kensington to visit the wonderful Hummingbird Bakeryfor some delicious cupcakes, but being a group of 8 there wasn’t enough room for us, so we quickly dashed across the road to a convenient pub to hide from the rain and subtly enjoy the sugary goodness! After some more substantial food we went to Covent Garden for a wander around the shops, including a fabulous toy shop, then went our separate ways.
Overall it was a lovely day spent getting to know some fabulous ladies, as well as brainstorming ideas for the next UK Lady Bloggers Meetup, which promises to be bigger and even better! If you’re a UK-based female blogger interested in meeting up, please join the UK Lady Bloggers network to share your ideas!

I was sad I had to miss it – but I was still recovering from being ill earlier in the week and also had to catch up on study. Rubbish. Next time though!
I enjoyed the meet up so much. All the women there were so inspirational and fun to be with. I can’t wait to do it again. It really was fantastic meeting a lot of strong females, not to mention the amazing cupcakes.
Lovely! More than a bit jealous that I haven’t met all of you guys in real life!
I wanna play! I dying to meet some other bloggers in real life. I’ll head over to UK Lady Bloggers right now!
sounds like mad fun. i’ve met some not-very-nice bloggers, haha, but i’ve also gotten to know plenty of amazing people whom i want to have real friendships with! i hope it was a good meet!!
I’m sure there’ll be another one, that vintage shopping trip is a must!
