This week I was lucky enough to attend a number of the Christmas in July events. These showcases are designed to display a companies Christmas offering to Press. I get really excited about these experiences for 3 main reasons:

• I love Christmas and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't have a mini celebration in the middle of the year. Christmas trees, decorations, music, food, drink and even presents. Why wait until December?
• I love finding out about new products and what trends are expected to be big this year.
• I love being able to talk to the companies, PRs and buyers to find out more about products. Talking to the people who have helped get the products to market is a fascinating insight and a rare opportunity. 

Being a blogger is totally awesome, albeit hard work. Spending 3 days going into London with a baby was hard work and I respect anyone that managed to go to more events than me, I was exhausted after 6. I got home each night unfit to do anything beyond have a quick browse though my pictures and make notes about what I saw.

The picture below was taken at the Tesco event and I love the shadows on the wall so I wanted to share it while joining with Photalife's My Sunday Photo Linky.
