Last Wednesday (29th May) I went, with two other
friends up to London. The main reason was to go to Tanya Burr’s meetup which
was organised (I say organised, but it really wasn’t :P) in Covent Garden and
to do a bit of shopping in the area.
So we jumped on a train up to Charring Cross and headed up.
Unfortunately, England’s most famous trait is it's awful weather which was
undoubtedly present on the day. Nevertheless we made the most of it! A word of
advice; if you are visiting London, you HAVE to go to Paul’s Patisserie and try their
macaroons, they are A M A Z I N G!!!!!
When we arrived in Covent Garden it was absolutely packed with
girls waiting outside the Apple store who started to form a crowd. We realised
Tanya had arrived when half the girls screamed and ran over to her. This is
where the trouble started…
Everyone just bunched
around her- and I’m talking around 500 people, according to a police officer!
She absolutely could not move and I felt so sorry for her, she looked really
worried and upset. Ironically she mentioned
in a video that if not many people turned up, they could go for a coffee
together. I don’t think that was going to happen when this chaos happened….
So many people!!!
Sadly, she had to leave because so many people were there
and it was getting too chaotic and people were getting hurt. Luckily I got
quite close to her but didn’t manage to get a photo in all the chaos.
I am a huge fan of Tanya Burr and I think she is super
talented and can’t wait to meet her properly another time!
For the rest of the day my friends and I browsed the shops
and bought various makeup items which I will talk about in another blog post…
Here is me and my friend Lucy on our way to the meet up (I’m
the one on the right)
