Francesca Hits The City

Since our lovely Mimi has left Manchester for sunnier shores Down Under, our new girl about town Francesca is going to be here every month spilling the beans on whats on in Manchester.

I love this city. I fell in love with it all again since coming home after fleeing to London then Spain when I was 21. Coming back, Manchester had come alive with a vibrancy I’d never seen here before and I knew I was home. I don’t even really mind the greyness. I think we’ve all learnt to cope with the drizzle getting us wetter than a downpour.

I suppose it helps that I’m old enough now to appreciate what matters in life, although I do define my age by knowing it’s getting time for Botox but that I’m not old enough to panic about not being married. Not that I think I ever would, I’m just not that traditional.

There’s been somewhat of a shift in my lifestyle. Long gone are the days of all-night partying in Manchester clubs and getting dressed in the car park for work the next day; now I’m actually looking forward to the start of X Factor so that I have an excuse to stay in on a Saturday night. That’s why I planned to go to V Festival this year and embrace my lifestyle of old; I was determined to wear hot pants short enough to be a disgrace until I got the mother of all colds and was resigned to bed, watching X Factor. Typical.

So that’s me. I’m clumsy, I laugh a lot at things I probably shouldn’t. I like getting things for free and generally love a blag of any kind and I’m going to be letting you in on what’s on in Manchester as well as Manchester’s many random attractions that I see on my travels around this amazing city we all call home…

See you next month.
