I can’t believe it’s been over a week since 32 very different (yet very rowdy) bloggers gathered at Al Porto to celebrate the fabulousness of #HullBloggers – eating, drinking, chatting and networking, for me that’s a pretty great way to spend an afternoon! 

Confession…I didn’t take a single picture! So I borrowed some from the #HBAlPorto hashtag (which was a top ten trend in the UK during the event dontcha know, go us!) 

Our bespoke #HullBloggers fruity cocktail and the delicious canapé menu, which was designed by the talented Caroline.

  Goodies to sample and buy provided by the lovely @lushhull

   Gifts for our Bloggers  

 We’ve definitely developed a rep for being overly generous with our gift bags, and even we were shocked when we realised how much we had upped the ante this time!
