As my boyfriend, Joe, lives in Manchester, I would say I visit the city at least once a month. I have been a vegan for a year and a half now, but for some reason I have never been to V Rev Manchester. About a month ago, me and my Joe decided it was time to make the trip.

2017 felt as though it flew by. This year has treated me so well and has given me memories I will cherish forever. I thought I’d reflect on some of my person highlights of 2017. January 2017 started well as this was the month me and my boyfriend made it official. We’d been speaking for a few months and after a cinema date watching Fantastic Beasts, we decided to make it official. Me and Joe Instagram: emmalouisewagstaff January was also the month that me and my uni friends signed for our perfect house. After running around Leeds trying to get the papers signed by the agency, we got it and our landlord took bought us a drink to celebrate. (I forgot my ID so I drank water but it’s the thought that counted) Lily, Seila, Me, Jem and Alex Instagram: emmalouisewagstaff February In February, my bestest friend came up to Leeds for the night, after not seeing her for over a month.
