THE FARAWAY TOUR...
Today I am heading off on my fab overseas tour… I will be visiting Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, and I am so excited! I’ve never been to any of those places so it feels like a real adventure…
I’m hoping to keep up with emails while I am away, and I’ll post on here too if there is anything extra cool to report! Meanwhile, if you are going to see me at one of my overseas events… in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Singapore, Auckland or Wellington… why not post a comment through the link below? See you soon!!!
If you are in the UK, you don’t have to feel left out… there are LOTS of public events in the Angel Cake tour coming in June/July. Check out the CAMPER link for all the details, but I’ll definitely be in Bluewater, Kent; Bristol; Cambridge; London; Huddersfield; Blackpool; Preston & Liverpool. There’ll be some Scottish dates later in the summer, too… so check the list, make a note in your diary and come along!
AND there will be a very special event on National Best Friends’ Day on 4 July in London that you are all invited to – more details to come…
Better get back to my packing now…
