London

Whether it be live events, football matches, clubs or even just a little sight seeing – Here are my homelife social escapades!

Rekorderlig Cider Lodge

I’d seen a few people check themselves in on Facebook here and was keen to head down on my weekend off work mid December. I was also excited to see the Christmas market along the Southbank, I’d heard it was more quaint and authentic than winter wonderland’s. And I wasn’t disappointed.

I got there in such good time, walking…

It was a toss up…

Chelsea Aston Villa 3-0

Fabregas & Diego Costa have added a freshness to the team that takes away some of the emptiness where Frank…
