Last Thursday ​I went to my first ever tweet up.

Almost all my friends and family don't use Twitter so explaining that I was off to Bristol, to meet a random group of strangers, who all adore Twitter, like I do was a hard sell.​

I was late... we Heaths are always late. But how a person is expected to walk up Park Street without window shopping in all the boutique stores is beyond me! I adore The Bristol Guild - why oh why are you not open late on a Thursday evening?

I burst in, just as the raffle was being drawn, and immediately got out my camera like an over enthusiastic tourist, before the sun went down on the terrace. 

​The trouble with 'cool' venues like Goldbrick House, is it helps if you are cool. I am not cool, although my grey pixie boots helped my toes feel cool. I ended up collaring several people by saying "You like nice and smiley" and instantly struck up a conversation.

For some reason I adopted a standard line for the evening which was "I'm a nobody, but what do you do?" Talking to the people I admire and follow on Twitter made me turn into a giggly, slightly louder (worrying, as I am loud by nature, it's in the genes) nervous wreck. It felt ridiculous to say coyly "I'm Lucy from the Capture by Lucy blog", but blow me several people knew what I was bleating on about. 

Fortunately, I was there with a partner in crime, as her significant other for the evening.

​

We may be organising a wedding fair. We may be organising a wedding fair in a castle. We may be shouting about it really loudly, really soon.​

Over the course of the evening I talked to some great contacts, wonderful cake makers, florists, stationers and a mother of two juggling a sweet sounding business, both for me and for the wedding fair and one like minded lady, who I had to pinch myself on the way home that I had met.

​Tweets ups, The Little Wedding Helper style, are bustling, ​have great background music and everyone wants to talk to everyone.

If you are even remotely connected to the wedding industry in the South West, you need to follow Bristol Wedding Tweet Ups and come to the next tweet up on the 25th July 6-9pm at Goldbrick House. I will be the smiley, non cool one, with a camera.​

Last month we were waiting for a special delivery, from the stork.​

There was only one photo that I could have linked up for Me and Mine this month. My special family with the most special girl.​

Our new little niece, Yasmin lu, our new little cousin.​

Richard asked me, when I finally came home after 3 days ​of soaking up some precious first cuddles, (I will be forever grateful to Rich for running around like a mad man, sorting the boys so I could support my sister) whether I felt like I'd had a niece or something more. I honestly feel that I have experienced the most magical thing. Seeing a person being born, sharing that incredible moment with 2 people I love so much, that yes, she does feel extra special. 

She is the closest thing to me having a daughter of my own and I have put myself forward as chief party organiser and on the list of helpers for wedding dress shopping!

And this weekend my sister and brother in law, asked me and Rich and my brother and his wife, to be her godparents. What an honour.​

I hope you have all had lovely family times this month. Join in with us for Me and Mine and show us you and yours!​

And if you would like to see some more gorgeous boys head over to Lauren at Real Housewife of Suffolk. 

Link up your photos with us. If you haven't taken one yet this month of all of you, here's your excuse!​

You can see how Me and Mine started here.​ We have a birthday for a big boy this month so I am sure our May photo will feature party hats and cake!

I have found myself going to sleep later and later. There is always one more thing to read, one more link to click.​

Here are a few new favourites:​

​• Spring Sangria recipes from The Glitter Guide.

• Ultimate home tours, all in one place, The Selby blog.

• Rich always likes to play the boys music whilst they are in the bath. Grown up music. I love that he is introducing them to some legends and classics, I found this - I must get it for Father's Day, Radiohead are his favourite!​

• Pies in mason jars from Lovely Little Details - Oh my days, I LOVE it!​

• My office would look so much prettier with this lantern. I might have to ship one to my brother and bring it back in August!​

• I am in full Circus Party prep mode now for Sammy's 4th Birthday at the end of May. How sweet are these tattoos?! ​
