It was so good to get back to @bristolwpmeetup.bsky.social this evening and catch up with folks after many years - and meet some new folks too!

People who run meet-ups are so precious. Organising stuff like this really isn’t my thing. So I’m incredibly grateful for those for whom it is.

Kinda weird - and exciting - to see my own thing being promoted like this! But great to be able to give a bit back to one of my local meetups. It's a very small sponsorship. But I'm so grateful for all that the team has done for the community in the area. And a bit of exposure can't be bad!
