🐝☀️ WELL… THIS IS AWKWARD. ☀️🐝

Remember yesterday when the forecast was basically telling me to prepare for rain, thunderstorms and possible gazebo-based aviation? 🌧️⛈️💨

So I made the sensible decision not to do Ormskirk Market today.

And now…

WHERE. IS. THE. RAIN?! 😂😂😂

No thunder.
No torrential downpour.
No need for an ark.
Not even a particularly dramatic puddle.

Meanwhile I’m looking outside thinking…

“I COULD HAVE BEEN AT ORMSKIRK!” 😭🐝

This is the joy of outdoor market life: make a decision based on the forecast, then watch the weather completely change its mind. 🤦‍♀️

I know staying safe was the sensible call when thunderstorms were forecast all day… but that doesn’t make it any less annoying when you wake up to weather that looks perfectly market-able! 😂

So apologies if you were hoping to find me there today. 💚

On the plus side, Bank Holiday Monday at Aughton Village Hall is INDOORS, so unless something truly spectacular happens, the British weather can’t thwart me there. 😂🙌

📍 Aughton Village Hall
📅 Bank Holiday Monday – 31st August
⏰ 11am–4pm

See you there! 🐝💛

Never Bee Too Busy for Self-Care… or apparently to be personally victimised by a weather forecast. 😂☀️🌧️

🐝💚 I’M ALL SET UP AT ST GEORGE’S HALL! 💚🐝

I’m here, I’m dry 😂☔️ and the Liverpool Night Market is officially underway!

I’ve brought lots of gorgeous Tropic goodies with me, so it’s the perfect chance to:

And while you’re here, the famous St George’s Hall Tiled Floor is open, so you can have a look around this incredible building too. 🏛️😍

☔️🐝 TODAY’S UPDATE — WE’RE STILL GOING AHEAD! 🐝☔️

After keeping a very close eye on the weather, I have some good news — Liverpool Night Market is still going ahead today AND I’ll now be safely tucked away INSIDE St George’s Hall! 🙌💚

So no gazebo attempting to fly across Liverpool and, more importantly, no soggy Tropic! 😂

📍 St George’s Hall, Liverpool
📅 Today – Thursday 27th August
⏰ 2:30pm–8:30pm

There’s another brilliant reason to visit too. The St George’s Hall Tiled Floor exhibit is open, so you can escape the rain, explore this beautiful Liverpool landmark and see the stunning floor while you’re there. 🏛️✨

Then come and find me for a little self-care! I’ll have lots of Tropic skincare, body care, gifts and treats to discover, and I’ll be there to help with personalised skincare advice too. 🌿💛

So actually, the rain may have done us a favour…

Warm ✔️ Dry ✔️
Beautiful venue ✔️
Tiled Floor ✔️
Shopping & self-care ✔️
Busy Bee safely indoors ✔️🐝

Don’t let the weather put you off — come into the hall, have a wander and come and say hello! 💚

🌧️🐝 A LITTLE WEATHER WATCH THIS WEEK… 🐝🌧️

Well, the British weather appears to have looked at my three lovely events this week and said… absolutely not. 😂☔️💨

At the moment, all the markets are still going ahead, so my plan is very much to be there with Tropic and my usual Busy Bee enthusiasm! 💚🐝

However, with weather warnings in place and some pretty awful conditions forecast, I’m going to play things by ear and make a decision about my attendance as each event gets closer.

As much as I love meeting you all, I’m not quite committed enough to self-care to have my gazebo take flight across Liverpool or find myself floating down Ormskirk market with a Tropic tote as a life raft. 😂🌊

So for now…

☔ Markets: still ON
🐝 Busy Bee: planning to attend
🌧️ Weather: apparently choosing violence
😂 Final decision: watch this space!

I’ll post updates before each event so you know exactly where to find me.

And if the weather does win, you can still message me for Tropic advice, recommendations and orders from the considerably drier surroundings of my home! 😂💚

Never Bee Too Busy for Self-Care… but also, never Bee silly enough to get washed away! 🐝☔️
