Last Thursday saw the opening of a new food venture at Leeds Kirkgate Markets. The Source has a prime spot in the tangled web of stalls. Going in by the left entrance it’s right there in front of you, which is very handy, especially as they have produced a guide to where different food stalls […]
Signs like the ones that follow, amuse me greatly. It’s a basic and childish humour admittedly, but what’s so great about being pompous and grown up eh!? Menorca seems to be a hive for good signs… we’re going back there in a few weeks, so I’ll see if I can find more! ‘Chompy’ was the best […]
I was driving to work last week, and there was a big new sign on the roundabout in Horsforth: Horsforth Asparagus, available to purchase 4pm – 6pm. I’ve never seen local asparagus advertised before, and was immediately intrigued. On my way home I stopped off, and the whole thing was quite exciting… I turned off […]

I was, however, a little disappointed to learn that her next album, Director’s Cut, will be a reworking of tracks taken from her two earlier albums; The Sensual World (1989) and The Red Shoes (1993). Deeper Understanding is the first single […]
A week ago, Mr M and I disappeared off to Bakewell in the Peak District. After some stomach clenching, breath holding swoops around the tiniest and darkest of roads we arrived in the small town famous for its tarts. Not to sound too British(!) but the weather was amazing! It was a little pocket of […]
Hello! So here is my brand new shiny blog! I’m a novice to this blogging lark and to be honest, quite scared of it. It feels a bit like my first day at school, and I feel the need to shuffle around and look at my feet in a pink cheeked fashion. Also, right now […]
