Tonight I danced in the street with strangers. We laughed, twirled and rolled around in and amongst a swirl of colourful petals, that rained down from the sky. 

The #PetalDrop happened to symbolise pollen count levels being at their peak. This time of night is when hayfever sufferers can be affected by insneezia, which Boots Pharmaceuticals tell me is caused by pollen falling as the sun goes down and the air begins to cool. .

Crowds gathered in St Christophers Place, off Oxford Street, as myself and fellow bloggers, Hannah, Sheenie and Em pumped up our super powerful confetti canons loaded with multi-colour petals, and treated spectators to an explosion of magnificent summer fun 

It turned into quite the impromptu street party!

The street team continued to fill the sky with colour, and handed out leaflets and free samples of Boots Pharmaceuticals Allergy Barrier Nasal Spray to smiling passers-by.

If you missed out on the spectacle, you can watch again on the @BootsUK Periscope channel for upto 24-hours after the event:
