Emma Barnett Instagram – Manchester: you did not let us down. Our first mass colouring-in session and it was truly awesome. 🖍️
It’s all about the three c’s: colouring, coffee and cake. What an amazing morning officially launching our @colouryourstreets Manchester colouring book, in the heart of my home city, surrounded by the best scribblers in town, young and old(er). And not a screen in sight. (Cc @smartphonefreechildhood – you would be proud 💪)
We loved seeing just how differently people coloured in the same sights and hearing some of the conversations our colouring crew were having about the 16 sights we picked to define such an iconic city.
Huge thanks to @gailsbakery on King Street for hosting this joyous celebration to tie in with our book going on sale and the very inspirational annual @mcrflowerfest
And the inimitable and my new fave woman @lucynooneblake for being such a tour de force and creating this special event with me.
When Manc women come together – there’s a powerful energy and a good laugh guaranteed. Even at 10 in the morning with loads of kids underfoot (and on a Manchester Derby Day 😜 no less).
And thrilled to have @colouryourstreets featured in @manchestereveningnews too.
Thank you to everyone who came. Keep sharing your colouring too 🖍️ 💪 🖍️
