Happy six months, Soph!! And thanks for including me 🥺
I absolutely adore the Substack community and genuinely look forwarding to catching up with everyone's posts and Notes. What a gift it is to share stories and learn so much about each other here.
Congratulations Soph on reaching half a year on Substack! I will be hitting my half a year in November too. 🥳 I just love the community here on Substack and all of the lovely people on it!
I just love watching The Great British Bake Off too and I always make a yummy dessert on "Bake Off Night" as all of those yummy bakes make my mouth water 😂
Ahh thank you so much! Early congratulations to you too - that’s amazing!! 🎉
It’s just such a lovely community on here isn’t it?!
Ooh I love this! We have a tradition where we watch at Aid’s parents’ house but when we move somewhere bigger I’m deffo going to host so I can make desserts! What are you making for Autumn Week?
Thank you! 😊 Everyone is just so friendly and nice on here. 🥳
Sounds like a lovely tradition and hosting a Bake Off Party would be so cool! I think I would like to do that at some point too 🥰 I am thinking maybe making a gingerbread cake for Autumn week, as I always think of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger as Autumn spices. Have you been baking anything for Bake Off night? 🍰
Congrats on 6 months babe, that's amazing and yes, gaining this community and having all these online friends that we have the privilege to learn about through their words is such a gift. Thank you for continuing to share yours. Big hugs
Congrats on 6 months babe!!!!! I have reached my 1 month mark a few days ago and it's so liberating how many fabulous people I have connected with! There is no other social media platform that provides as much value as Substack has this last month. I honestly can't wait to make friends as I continue this journey! I also have LOVED reading this and can't wait to check out some of your other content (definitely one of the first time readers).
Thank you so much!! Congrats on your first month here too, I promise it only gets better and better 🫶 I’m so glad you like it on Substack too, it’s a beautiful part of the internet!
so many good recs! thank YOU for these. as someone who’s a new substacker myself, it’s been so fun and comforting to discover this amazing lil world of fellow writers and creatives
AWWW SOPH!!!! What a gorgeous read. It never occurred to me that I'd find friends on here but it's the best community of people - and I genuinely look forward to catching up with you every week!! It's so funny, I've never made online friends before, I'd always dismissed it and didn't understand it, but having this platform really does allow you to connect with people in a way that you never would otherwise. If I have a week where I find a new writer that I love on here I get so excited because it's just another person who I can follow along with!
Thank you SO much Ella!! No I had zero intentions of making friends on here either (hence the name of this post lol) but you can’t help but build relationships on Substack when the people are just SO wonderful.
I get SOOOO excited when I find a new person to subscribe to as well! It’s the best 🥰
I loved seeing so many of the Substacks I enjoy reflected in this post and I feel you on the making friends bit. I think I subscribed to a handful of Substacks when I first started here and now I can't keep up! I feel like I've really gotten to know so many amazing people on here (yourself included) and I can't believe what a truly lovely community it is 🖤
Thank you so much Angela! I’m the exact same, I subscribed to a handful and now I have to set time aside to make sure I’m reading everyone’s 🤣 It really is the best community!
OHHHHH you just gave me a whole load of new people to follow (some of whom I'm happy to say I've already been following—and bloody adoring!!!). And I agree, I had no idea how many talented writers there were out there but frequently I read better content on here than I do in typical media and it is SO REFRESHING. I love Substack, I just hope it never changes. The first time I see an ad on here, I will cry my eyes out.
Ahh thank you Katie!! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed 🩷🩷🩷
Yesss the Substack content is SO good!! I hope it never changes either - I can live with sponsored content but if they ever introduce business accounts I am RIOTING.
Happy 6 months Soph! The connections and friendships on substack are absolutely incredible & very lovely. Also - I must know, who’s your fav to win GBBO? Can’t wait for another ep tomorrow
Thank you so much Martha! The people on here are amazing, right?! Nelly is top spot for me at the minute and Andy’s a close second, how about you? I loved Mike as well 💔
I feel so lucky to know you and be able to learn from you. I had no idea what I was doing when I first joined, and all I wanted was a community - and I found it
Congrats on six months! Posting consistently is something definitely worth celebrating 🎉 And you're right, there are so many amazing writers on here. I keep stumbling upon great articles 😊
congrats for your six months on here!! time flies so fast oh yes. Thank you u so much for the mention, I feel so honored and I’m so happy to have discovered you in the past months ❤️

Snacks are the best! 🥰
