#HBMarchMeet 2016

I attended the Hull Bloggers March Meet this weekend at Al Porto restaurant, as always i had  an amazing time! I met some new faces, which is always nice & I got to catch up with some old faces which I should do more often! The #HullBloggers at just the best set of people.

Unlike the last event which was much larger & more of a gathering, this time there we're less people, no stalls & we had a sit down meal. The goodie bags were also reduced, as lovely as it is to get lots of stuff it's also nice to receive a select amount.

We ate from Al Porto's lunch menu & I've got to say it was difficult to choose! I eventually went for the Italian sausage & mash with cannelloni beans in a Napoli sauce. As always it was delicious!

Whilst eating we were all given questions to read out & go round the table and each answer, I found out a lot about people I didn't know before which was lovely.

We were very lucky to receive some amazing goodie from brands & I will be doing individual posts but here's a quick peak ...

As you can see some incredible brands sent us stuff which I'm so greatfull for & can't wait to use!

I had such a lovely day! I'd like to thank Kat & Jenny for putting on an amazing event & Im looking forward to the next one, hopefully in summer!

Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for those reviews.

#WrenFamilyFavourites with Linda Barker.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a Wren Kitchens Event last week hosted by Linda Barker and Branded3.

Yes I met Linda Barker!!!

The event was to promote there #WrenFamilyFavorites competition on Instagram to win a AEG food processor worth £249.99, there's still time to enter as the competition is running until 27th November. 

We also got the chance to look at Linda Barkers kitchen range.

When we arrived we were greeted with prosecco and goodie bags, we were given adorable personalised wooden spoons, a personalised apron, a scrapbook and a magazine with Linda's collection in it.

We got seated around tables full of scrap booking equipment & we had the chance to start filling them out with the family favourites recipes from the night.

We all gathered around the kitchen & Linda introduced herself and what the night was all about. She was going to be demonstrating the 3 recipes for us all.

While the treats were cooking we took a tour around the kitchens, I got serious kitchen envy!

How amazing is that work top?

After the tour the cakes were ready & they smelt Amazing, I was mostly looking forward to trying the peanut butter banana bread, Iv tried and failed at making banana bread as its too dry! This one was far from dry.

I had an amazing night with my blogger friends & met some new faces too.

Don't forget to enter the competition!
