Girls Ultimate Guide to Festivals - Essential Item Number 3

As has been said before, after number one and number two, comes number three and this one I’m a little wary about.

I got this from work (Handpicked Collection – brilliant gift ideas, if ever the occasion arises), originally made by Bill Brown, it’s a lovely roll up mattress. I’m sure I’ll be the most comfortable person not in VIP but the fact still remains that even rolled up, it is huge. I had to get it home from work last week on two buses and it wasn’t really great fun.

I’m hoping that whilst strapped to a rucksack I might survive and actually fit through the train doors. Fingers crossed.

Handpicked Collection

Now I must admit the reason I started the blog (other than the fact that really do love Jelly but more on that at a later date) is because I manage the blog at work and I found myself posting more about places that I wanted to go and things that I wanted to see that perhaps weren't as relevant as they could have been to Handpicked Collection.
It seems appropriate though to link to it. There is some interesting stuff on there, most intriguing are the interviews from Handpicked's friends including tips from stylist Lucinda Maydon, recipes from Masterchef winner, tellie chef and owner of Wahaca Thomasina Miers and tips for all sorts from Handpicked's Creative Director and resident Domestic Goddess, Amanda Fox. Not forgetting some ideas from yours truly to fill in the gaps. I feel sort of like I'm cheating on Handpicked Blog with this one so let's show it some love.
