On the Saturday of the late May bank holiday Steph scooped my sorry, hungover ass into the car and drove us 200 miles north to Leeds. She was an absolute legend and demanded I spent most of the 3 hour journey asleep. I obliged and slept off my hangover arriving at our hotel fresh as a daisy and ...
