Lucia to Forest 29.12.13

29 December 2013: I missed the Boxing day game, which Forest won 2-0 over QPR, but for the Leeds game, I got a guest ticket, and took Lucia Indah, one of our tall building students - for her first experience of English Football.  She is from Bandung, Java, Indonesia, and is designing a multi tower high rise complex in Rotterdam for David's design studio.



Lucia joined us in Belle and Jerome for coffee.



We had plenty of leftovers from Felix's party to eat for lunch at Peveril.



We decided to do the cooking before the game, and put a number of chicken legs and thighs into the slow cooker with lots of vegetables. It had 6 hours in the cooker and was very very delicious.



We had a seat in the front row of A Block, the noisiest most fanatical section of Forest's crowd, and it was a great atmosphere for someone's first ever game, especially as we were winning. It's lucky we didn't choose the 4th row or the entire game would have been spent standing up! Everyone behind us prefers the 'terrace experience' and everyone behind them has to follow suit.
