April 2025. Leicester. The last knockings of my Big Day Out in Hinckley, as I decide that 24 minutes is, in fact, enough time to see a bit more of Leicester, and somehow squeeze in a pint at the Cherry Tree, which a quick look at my giant spreadsheet confirms I’ve never been to before… Continue reading WHERE HAS LEICESTER’s CHERRY TREE BEEN ALL MY LIFE ?
