Reading Time: 2 minutes Shock Horror. I have actually gone out. I’ve been hibernating quite a bit recently, partly age, partly money, partly winter which has taken a bit of a hit on the material I am pulling together for Images From The Underground. Invited by my friend Derek …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Further to the eventual aim of walking all the Yorkshire Canals, we set of on another canal walk, this time with the Aim of Dewsbury to (at least) Mirfield. As I have said before, though there are some reasonably interesting Industrial buildings, Dewsbury is not …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Leeds West Indian Carnival is the oldest and one of the biggest West Indian carnival events in Britain today. Started in 1967 by Arthur France, and a group of Caribbean strengths in Leeds, it is now in it’s 50th year, and what an event it is! …
Reading Time: 2 minutes We attempted to grow some Kale this year. Unfortunately one day, with very little warning we noticed this! By this point it was past the point of doing anything, so I left them too it and took the photo opportunity. After this, they all departed, …
