Cornucopia: A symbol of plenty consisting of a goat’s horn overflowing with flowers, fruit, and corn. (This definition is according to ‘the internet’, so not guaranteed to be entirely correct, but I really like it. Although with the goat’s horn it seems perhaps a bit pagan?!) I’m not sure if it was just me who […]

Mr M’s fantastic band, March of Dimes, has a new single out and it’s a corker! Sleeping Giant makes me nostalgic for something but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. (Although having a 3 week old little lass, perhaps it’s just sleep?!) I love the sound of the track, which has […]
As mentioned in my previous post, Box Pizza is a fantastic pizza delivery business in Leeds. The service is brilliant and, most importantly, the pizza is amazing. Box Pizza has created a fantastic offer for my Twitter followers and blog readers, as well as Mr M‘s: 10% off when you quote “Murricane Madness” when placing […]

Dining at Dough Bistro
A couple of weeks ago, Mr M and I tried out Dough Bistro in West Park, Leeds. What interested me most about Dough was the focus on locally sourced food. I can’t believe that more restaurants don’t do this as a matter of course (ha), but it’s still quite a rarity. Local food is something […]
Krispy Kreme has opened a new store in Leeds, and I was invited to the VIP launch. Free doughnuts?! A doughnut theatre?! Brilliant. Mr M and I arrived with gurgling tummies ready to be filled with sweet delights, and we were not disappointed. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff, were handed champagne […]
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 […]
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 […]

Carluccio’s Launches in Leeds
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 […]

The Source Launches in Leeds
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 […]
