As many of you may know, I turned the big 30 last year, and this year I had to plan my boyfriend’s 30th birthday celebrations. Having had my boyfriend organise mine the year previous, it made my life a little easier when arranging his. However, organising a big birthday celebration can be stressful. Depending on…
Last week I had the pleasure of attending a fun event at the Bull & Gate pub in Kentish Town, North London. I joined Viking office supplies for an evening of sonnet writing and calligraphy, to celebrate Shakespeare Week which is coming up next month.
