DANIELLE MUSTARDE EXPLORES THE NORTH EAST’S PRETTY LITTLE CITY
A small city and sprawling county in the north east of England, Durham lies just south of Geordie haven, Newcastle – and also happens to be the very place where I grew up. Now, I haven’t lived in Durham for over 10 years, having swapped the – now particularly noticeable – fresh air, rolling green fields and dark starry skies of the northeast to join the Northern Expats In London Club. Growing up, there really wasn’t much of a queer scene at all, and so I decided now was the time to return to my roots – with girlfriend in tow – to check in on the hometown and see how the LGBTQ+ side of things has (or hasn’t) changed…Fancy it?
