I was lucky enough to be part of the audience for the pilot of Yorkshire Telly LIVE! I had no idea what to expect, but Matt Humphreys’ blog post helped to put in context what the project was trying to achieve. This pilot show was an experiment, and a very exciting experiment at that! Mr […]
The Sunshine Bakery has been featured every Friday for the last month at The Source‘s stall in Leeds Kirkgate Market. I saw a picture on Twitter of what was on offer and just couldn’t resist it, so nipped in on my lunch break. I say ‘nipped’, but my knowledge of the roads south of Leeds […]
I just got back from a blissful week in Menorca. We’re really lucky as Mr M’s family has a flat out there, so we get to go quite often. All the buildings are desgined in the same style, and kind of spill down to the sea. It’s a beautiful place, and the bobbly style of […]
March of Dimes played the Brudenell at last!! HURRAH. They are my favourite Leeds band, but then Mr M is the bass player, so I am perhaps a tiny bit on the biased side. If you don’t live in Leeds, or haven’t heard of the Brudenell, it’s a fantastic gig venue in Leeds. It’s set […]
Last week I went to the launch party of Carluccio’s, on Greek St in Leeds. It had an exciting, vibrant atmosphere no doubt helped by the endless bottles of Prosecco that kept doing the rounds! A bit like a wedding reception, but even more tiddly. Unfortunately though, Le Bump prohibited me from partaking in this […]
Every Thursday at 7pm Leeds Indie Radio is host to Foxes and Convicts. This show is based on acoustic sets from a special recording session that took place at Hope House Records in February. Exciting and extremely talented bands from around Leeds took part, including March of Dimes, Tag Team Preacher (whose voices sounded incredible […]
May 5th 2011 is the referendum on the potential change to our voting system. In the run up to this referendum, I’ve found it difficult to understand the benefits or downfalls to the current and the alternative voting system. In fact, there has been little information out there at all. All we’ve been told is […]
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 […]
