I hope you've all had a fantastic new year and went back to work today with a spring in your step. Okay that was a step too far maybe dragged to work kicking and screaming ;) I must admit Pretty Vintage House took some alarm battering this morning.
Pretty Vintage house is loccated in North Lincolnshire on the south bank of the humber so not far as the crow flies from Hull city of culture 2017,. although it would be long swim if not for the Bridge. Now I'm not originally from here and when I moved had a lot of "your moving where?" Hull? are you mad? And obviously I'll always have a fondness for my roots further south in Lincolnshire as I'm a true yellow belly. But Hull does have a lot to offer just like any city it has a great night life, parks, shopping, museums and galleries, the old town, marina and more. The people are so very friendly and it was strange when I first moved here people who I didn't know talking to me all the time. I just love the accent the way they say Hessle road, vodka n coke, horse wash which is hos wosh, and dead bird is dead bod. I can't do the others as I'm not fluent in Hull. But I do like to wind up my Hull friends that their Bread cake is in fact a bread bun or a bread roll but never a cake.
As I'm sure your aware Hull has started it's celebrations and we manged to view the fireworks from the south bank and last night took a ride over to see the light installations. Here are just a few pics as it was so very cold I didn't like taking my glove off to use my phone.

It was fantastic and I could have stayed to watch it again and again! The blitz part was one of my favourites. You can view again as every installation is repeated every 10 minutes or so. The light installations are on all week if you fancy a trip to "ULL" more info here but do wrap up warm!
