📍Lapstone Barn, Chipping Campden
✅ Good amount of loos, bright lighting, enjoyed the stone wall, hand wash smelled nice, mirrors were ample, lovely sinks!

Isobel McArthur's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice was stellar this evening!
It's Austen but as a freshly mixed comedy 🤩

Now THIS is the kind of book I'd like to be able to write. It's beautifully raw, real, and relatable. It's also brimming with hope and I felt that with my whole heart. I think we all need that.
Thank you @alisonespach.bsky.social for writing The Wedding People 🙏🏻✨
