Last Friday @ LCB depot
On Friday evening I went to ‘Last Friday’ which is an event held on the last Friday of each month at LCB depot, close to the Curve Theatre. There are street food stalls in the courtyard, as well as a bars, cocktails and music/art and as their website says ‘vibes’. It is open from 4pm […]

It was a truly magnificent day, full of celebrations. I was allocated three tickets for the ceremony, so my parents and my boyfriend attended with […]
