52 Lists: The Moments You Will Always Remember
Leaving my full time job of 6 years, in search of a new life. I was determined to not have to wait till retirement for me to enjoy my days on this planet. My first day at University. I’ll never forget my parents dropping me off and settling me into the halls of residence with a crate of beer and a stack of posters to plaster my walls. I met friends for life in that first week. Watching the Flaming…

In all seasons this place blows me away. The abundance of independent shops, cafes and businesses including an awesome cinema…
