Festive Food Review: The Creameries, Chorlton, Manchester
The first time I ate Mary-Ellen McTague‘s food I was not long back in the North and nursing a bad break-up as well as a conscious uncoupling from my long-term London job.
Exhibition Review – Eric Tucker: The Unseen Artist, Warrington Museum & Art Gallery

This is the second time I’ve been to HOME this year and cried.
Review: Matthew Bourne’s The Red Shoes, The Lowry, Salford
