Preston

📌 A second stint at Bamber Bridge vets between travelling. It was nice to go back to a clinic that I was familiar with, where I knew everyone. This Airbnb was a little closer, it was okay, but it was nice to stay and suss out Preston also.

📌 We had a busy few weeks planned, we visited Manchester to see London Grammar, starting with some incredible Pho and then heading to the AO arena. The show was great, it was a combination of powerful vocals and electronic synths accompanied by mesmerising visuals. It was well worth seeing them, the highlight of the night was Baby it's You ofcourse!

📌 I did some big stints of work, 5-6 day weeks which was good to boost the savings. We managed to fit in a visit to Bradford for the Book of Mormon show. It was hilarious and it was another bucket list show we had been hoping to see for a long time. Chloe didn't get any good shifts sent her way so she's still the stay at home woman, which is great as she's been cooking up some great dinners when I get home in the cold! The weather has started to turn, some mornings on the way to the gym have been -4, the sun has been rising around 8 and setting just before 4pm. The nights now feel much longer when I finish at 7.

📌 Preston was a nice place, it was, again, a little rough around the edges, but we enjoyed it overall, the park nearby was beautiful, the doughnut and coffee shop was great on the weekend, and the clinic was one of my favourites so far. I will likely go back for some shifts next year!Read more
