When I started my blog just over five years ago I didn't imagine that I would make real life genuine friends from the blogging community. Infact, if you had told me that I would make online friends, I would have been a little taken aback!
I was asked by the people at Chisolm Hunter to share a blog post about a friend I'd made through blogging, and although I've made a big handful of friends thanks to my blog, it just had to be Ray didn't it?!
Ray blogs over at Oh Who Is She and she is the other face behind FABB Events.
It's very rare that a day goes by where I don't speak to Ray, wether it's a quick Snapchat, a text or a call. We first got talking when we realised we lived pretty close to each other, which is rare when you're a Northern blogger and soon we were planning bloggers events around the North.
Fast forward three years and we now run FABB Events all over the UK, which is always a great excuse for a weekend away for us and also a way which we like to try and encourage bloggers to make friends with other bloggers from their local area just like we did. We also take trips to London each Summer for IMATS and a bit of retail therapy and have monthly trips to Nandos and our local Benefit Brow Bar!
I hear people say that the best thing about blogging is the community, and I really believe this is true. If it wasn't for my blog I would have never met Ray, or any of the other girls I now class as real friends.
Have you made friends through your blog?

I've met some lovely people, but none that I have had the time to fully speak to. I think I'm a bit shy as to how to approach somebody and chat like normal! I live in the North too, and it is very rare to meet many Northern bloggers! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely lovely, glad you have had such a positive experience and made lots of lovely friends! xxx

What a lovely post. I think it really is the best part of blogging. I'm yet to meet any localish bloggers to me as would love to be able to have a coffee and chat with like minded lovely ladies :o) xx
