Ok so 2 weeks later it’s announced, I’ve got the set together and had a haircut, so nerves aside, I’m ready to go!

Thanks for the friends who came round last night for a set preview and said nice things. I’ll let you know how it went and if you do know anyone who’s going would be great to see them there, let them know! 🙂
