Bring on 2011

After working for the man for oooh so long I decided to follow my heart. I've always loved music and photography so I vowed in late winter of 2010 to start making plans to do both full time!

My mates stayed in Stevenage. If you are planning to go next year and want comfort but don't want to pay Stevenage prices. Look for hotels in Finsbury Park area.
