Amy Thompson Writer

Amy Thompson Writer Creative freelance writer and event planner. Copywriter, Planner and Marketer! I am Amy! I don't want to toot my own horn BUT I am an expert in all.

I could list all my qualifications here but without experience they mean nothing so let's talk work, business, home and family. I'm a fierce advocate that with the right content and copy your business will succeed...put this alongside a lot of planning, organising and motivation. Being an Event Manager for over 15 years married (no pun intended!) with a wedding planner, administrator, virtual assi

stant, writer, researcher and hospitality guru and you've got yourself... well me! It's like one of those meetings but my addiction involves a laptop, typing, research and a lot of spreadsheets. As long as the diet cokes are cold, the laptop is charged and there is ink in my pen and spare paper I'm happy. I've been an event planner for years; even in my teens it was me who organised the parties, the school fundraisers, helped at parent teacher evenings, volunteered for everything and then took over editing the yearbook on the side just to keep busy. I like being involved, I like helping and I love it when a plan comes together! After gaining a huge amount of experience and expertise running my business for over 10 years, I chose to take my business on a different path. My organisational, business strategies, social media skills, researching and writing skills have transferred perfectly into Freelance Writing. I create strategies whilst giving assistance, copy, content, a friendly chat, a proactive plan and when needed a critical eye. I help businesses as well as the people in them to thrive, increase motivation, become more focused and get results. Creating copy and content for businesses gives them the right words to attract and gain their target audience. When I am not writing and organising you will find me enjoying family life, marching through the fells and dales of The Lake District, gorging on the wonderful Cumbrian cuisine and having a glass of wine in our local pub. Or I'll be running an event for the PTA or fundraising for a local cause!

August ~

How the summer was long and short at the same time.
How the days dragged when we thought we had weeks left.
How the last week has flown by as we panic buy shoes and bags, pens and pencils, shirts and everything else we realise they need.
How the sun has shone and the drinks have flowed.
How the flowers have bloomed and children have grown.

How August wrapped us in its warmth. Giving us a chance to spend time with family, to explore and have adventures, to grow and regroup.

How we now relish a routine, dark nights, warm fires and quiet days.

August was wonderful and fruitful. But I'm looking forward to the cosy months in front of the TV or reading in bed on a Sunday morning when the rain lashes down the windows.

So many ideas!

The night before I saw this gate I had a dream about one similar.

A coincidence? Possibly.
A story? Many.

My mind was churning it's usually early morning thoughts at 3am, yes I'm a woman of that age - the age where sleep sometimes leaves you for hours on end, when an idea popped in. A good idea. An idea that could grow into something.

When a healthy waking hour finally transcended I jotted a few notes down before springing out of bed with gusto, to start the day. In truth, I slowly crept into the world wondering what the day would hold, the summer holidays still in full swing.

Our day began with a potter under the trees, the Lake District rain pattering overhead. A turn in the road exposed this little gate leading to a quaint cottage.

A coincidence? Possibly.
A story? Many

Where would this gate take you?

Oh Paris it's been wonderful.

We of course have marveled at your beauty, wandered the busy streets and seen as many fascinating famous sites as we can but we've also chosen some off track routes, cafes and restaurants to get the real feel for the city.

When I plan a holiday I always look for the less crowded or well known paths to follow. And it always pays off.
We've eaten some glorious food in restaurants that weren't recommended on Instagram, although we did see the queues (!!), we chose the little bakeries that smell amazing, the bars full of locals, the local fruit shop.

The children were thrilled that our last metro ride was overground before submerging underground!

Off to find our last croissant and pain au chocolate before we catch the train back to London!

Look for the unexpected - it's always worth it!

A lovely day and a half in London before we headed to Paris. A time for a family reset during a busy season. There's nothing quite like a trip to London. The sights, sounds and smells of busy life that brings you back down to earth.

We go to London once a year and always go somewhere different - it's easy in a big city! This year was the Postal Museum, Duck World, Regents Canal, Brick Lane, Shoreditch, Box Hall City, Box Park, Liberty, Carnaby Street, Backyard Market, Denmark Street and then back to some favs of Spitalfields Market, Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square.

Highly recommend Pizza Union, Gloria's and Box Hall City for some beautiful food!

Now onto the next adventure in Paris....mainly here for the bread, pastries, cheese and wine tbh!

Happy July!

I was looking at jumping on the band wagon of posting photos from June, but we've been so busy I actually hardly took any!

Here's to a just as busy and fabulous July 🥂

It actually could have been better....

Here we are at a tiny cafe in the middle of nowhere after our car broke down and we had to get a train back to Bristol and leave the car in the garage.......!? Apparently an alternator is pretty important.

I'm sure all the lovely villages, abbeys and cathedrals I had planned would have been rubbish!

The silver lining is that our chips and sandwiches were cooked by a lovely lady drinking a can of strongbow - made the holiday tbh 🤣

A snippet from Day 2 in Bath and Day 3 in South Wales - Porthkerry, Barry, Penarth, Cardiff Bay!

Both completely different but filled with walking, fossil hunting, Bridgerton hunting, good food, history, shopping, and in Cardiff Bay a refreshingly cool breeze that took your breath away 😬😬🤣

Flaming lovely time in Bristol!

One full day plus a few hours on Saturday and we've done a fair bit of the city.

A wee ferry over the river, wander around the harbour and centre, MShed, Bristol museum and art gallery, a few sightings of Banksy's, Gelato, Cabot Tower, Brandon Hill, Queen Square, SS Great Britain, the odd pub, top notch food, sightings of Gromit!?, chess, parks, cathedrals, churches, amazing architecture, a whole lot of boats, every tourist sight, shopping, vintage finds, and we've still got quite a few more days?!

Thank goodness Premier Inns have bathtubs cause it's a lot of walking.

Love a UK staycation!
