*Pinch me!*

Her warmth, generosity, kindness and professionalism summed up what the festival is all about, and we were honoured to have Mem included in our stellar lineup.

Lauren found her passion for horse riding at eight years old! 🏇🏻🧲
Despite setbacks, she has always gotten back on the horse - which has been a great lesson for my life in general.
And so I too honour my passion and dream (of writing, and being traditionally published), and despite the challenges and setbacks, I too will always get back on the horse! 🤎

Just me and my pals casually spending Friday evening at part 2 of the shepherding 700 locals in to watch our beloved interview Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. What a night! 🤩📚👑

We may be a small team, but we are mighty! These incredible woman, led by our incomparable leader organised, and facilitated, Perth’s first !!!

I was so busy having a wonderful time… I mean working hard, that I didn’t take a single photo! I’m waiting to shamelessly borrow other peoples content, and share on my grid.

Now, how am I going to cope without the daily messages/banter from my buddies, until planning for the 2025 one starts.

Thank you all for making my life a little more wonderful! ✨
