Hbmarchmeet Al porto hull

     I started blogging in June last year. In February I managed to grab a spot on a meet up - a place where I could meet bloggers that are based locally. This excited me a lot as I don't know many bloggers at all.


March the 5th soon flew round and I got ready for the event. The short straight forward trip to Hull  from Cleethorpes started with roadworks but the sun did shine for at least half the trip.

After navigating where Al porto in Hull was (I'm rubbish at directions) I came across a tall building on the estuary. That is when the nerves became apparent, although there was no need.

Arriving in the restaurant was beautiful and all the bloggers made me feel at ease straight away. I wasn't the only new face at the meet which was quite comforting.

In the main room there were two tables set with everyone's goody bags on their chair which were full to the brim. 

The tables had been thought out so new bloggers mixed with people who had been to lots of events and had experience, which I thought was a great idea.

After finding my seat and getting rid of my coat I joined the other bloggers in a snug like corner of the restaurant. The snug had comfy seating and lighting to set a chilled mood. Everyone was so friendly and interested in what I did and made me feel right at ease.

After a while we were sat at the tables, served drinks and talked in our tables until our food arrived. We had pre ordered our food as there were so many if us. I opted for the warm winter salad which looked as good as it tasted.

After eating we all had little questions to prompt conversation which I thought was a great idea as it meant conversation never stopped. Time flies when you're having fun as they say and a few people started to leave.

Our table decided we would have a peak in our goodie bags.

Look at it all 

All laid out at home.

The event felt like a success for me. I had set out to find people with similar interests to me; I found plenty.

Unfortunately, one of the main organisers, Kat, was poorly but I hope she makes a speedy recovery. The other Hull girls Jenny, Alex and Chelsea were extremely helpful and lovely.

I just want to say a massive thanks to all the Hull bloggers. I will definitely be keeping in touch and looking out for more events.

Until next time xoxo.
