As you may know from my most recent In this Week post, Saturday I took a trip across to Edinburgh to attend the Scottish Bloggers Valentine Meet-up! This time it was arranged by the lovely Gillian, Juliet, Jenn and Lianne as they decided it was time some Edinburgh based bloggers hosted something! As much as I love living in Glasgow, Edinburgh is another city I adore and whilst I've never seriously entertained the idea of living there I love an excuse to hop across. Plus, I got to meet some lovely new bloggers who might not have made previous events!
The event was hosted at Hemma Bar on Holyrood road which was just.to.die.for. It had fairly lights, properly prepared cocktails, a spiral staircase, good-looking staff (I'm sorry, but it does add to the effect) and lots of quirky, albeit hipster, details. I especially loved the videotapes up on the wall beside the toilets. Even the hip hop music they were playing impressed me and I usually can't stand R&B/rap stuff. Top marks, Hemma, top marks!
And top marks also to the organisers for the idea of Blogger Speed Dating. It is true that at blogger meet-ups you end up chatting to who you already know, who you sit beside or who you recognise so this was a great way to get around everyone. I certainly did chat to a lot more people than I usually would at meet-ups.
My usual bad luck at raffles was suspended last night as I walked away with a tote bag from Totes Amazed and a cermic workshop from Doodles. Will now doubt be blogging about those in the future!
Finallt, I'm not a large fan of image-heavy blog posts but I have uploaded all my photos onto my blog's Facebook page if you fancy a good nosey!
Hey there Morag, these blogger meet up events are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI really really want to go to one, but there haven't been any around where I live in ages.
Hope you are well,make care! Xxx
