I’VE BEEN MEANING TO WRITE…

AND I SAID “WHAT ABOUT ‘BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S’?”



I spotted on Leeds-List that the Everyman Cinema in Trinity Leeds was showing
the Audrey Hepburn classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s with a bottomless brunch and

THE GIN & RUM FESTIVAL IS COMING TO LEEDS!



Gin has been kind of a Big Deal the last couple of years. Everywhere I go I see

THE GRAND RE-OPENING OF THE DEER PARK



I went to the Deer Park pub & restaurant last year for a friend’s birthday and

INTRODUCING KIDS TO CRICKET



Regular readers of the Loving Leeds Blog may have spotted that my content is

9 THOUGHTS I HAD AFTER WATCHING “HAMLET” AT LEEDS PLAYHOUSE



I was delighted to be invited to the Press Night of Hamlet at Leeds Playhouse on
Tuesday. It’s the first production I’ve seen in the pop-up theatre as The

SPENDING MY BIRTHDAY IN LEEDS



It was my birthday yesterday and I’d chosen to take the day off work to have a
bit of a “me” day. The birthday celebrations had actually officially started a

SEASONAL TASTING MENUS AT HOME



I know a lot of people who have a lean January; they go on a diet, give up
alcohol, or cut out complete food groups. I do not do this. January is miserable
enough without denying yourself treats. I carry… Continue Reading →

HOW ACTING CLASSES CAN IMPROVE YOUR WELLBEING AND CAREER

#LEEDSBYEXAMPLE – LIVING WITH LESS PLASTIC



I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions, but I do like to give a little

BABYCCINOS – THE ONLY CAFE PARENTS NEED TO VISIT



Let me start by saying that Babyccinos is not in Leeds. It’s not even an LS
postcode. There’s no Leeds link that I can try shoehorn in, but because it’s
That Good, I’m blogging about it anyway. Besides, as Babyccinos… Continue

ESCAPING THE CITY IN MIDDLETON PARK



I can’t believe I’ve lived in this house for four years and have only just
discovered Middleton Park, which is practically on my doorstep. The only thing I
really missed after moving from Wakefield was having somewhere nice to walk…

WHY I’M ALWAYS AT THE WHITE ROSE SHOPPING CENTRE

A NEW FAVOURITE RESTAURANT – LEEDS’ INDIAN TIFFIN ROOM



I was walking along Park Row a few weeks ago with a group of friends, and

together! Here’s a very brief overview of some… Continue Reading →

SUNSHINE ON LEITH AT THE WEST YORKSHIRE PLAYHOUSE



The perfect ratio of heart-warming and heart-wrenching for a feel good musical.
