"Hull has its own sudden elegancies. People are slow to leave it, quick to return. And there are others who come, as they think, for a year or two, and stay a lifetime, sensing that they have found a city that is in the world yet sufficiently on the edge of it to have a different resonance." That quote from Philip Larkin, read by Tom Courtenay in the City of Culture bid video, rings true for Mary and me; we came for three years in 1974 and are still here.And very happy with the city and it's culture. Well done to all involved.
