When not writing my own blog, hosting events, privately consulting or reviewing a luxury afternoon tea venue, hotel or spa, I also write regular and guest pieces in local & national publications, as well as bobbing up in the odd TV & Radio appearance.
I’ve created an excited brand as “Miss Sue Flay” over the last few years and I can now also help you with your own blogging, media or even social media requirements through my new venture at Stir Up Media.
I’m very proud to have been featured in Country Living Magazine, The Sunday Express, Wedding Ideas Magazine, Vintage Life Magazine, Real Life Magazine, The Financial Times and Rock N’Roll Bride, to name but a few.
I have also been a guest speaker at various events and talks, including The Vintage & Alternative Wedding Fair and The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club talking about my passions and experiences – I’m always open to new ideas and suggestions.
Please see below for some recent examples of what I have been up to:
