Shopping in Leeds with Simon

By Friends & Family, ShoppingNo Comments

On Thursday, my good friend Simon and I had a shopping trip to Leeds. I love Leeds for shopping; it has many shopping centres and arcades that host a wide variety of shops.

A metal horse sculpture in one of the many shopping centres and arcades.

We mainly browsed. I didn’t buy much. But on the way back to the car, down a nondescript alley we discovered Global Tribe.

Global Tribe’s staff were friendly. I bought some cards, a candle and the following book:

Yesterday (Friday) Steve and I went to South Lakes Safari Zoo. I shall do a blog post with plenty of photos later.

Visiting Skipton

By Friends & Family, Happiness & JoyNo Comments

My good friend Simon and I recently visited Skipton. Skipton is home to a superbly preserved castle, but Simon and I didn’t get chance to see it.

We explored the town, on a regular day, rather than a market day. It had lots of lovely little shops. Some reasonably priced, some not. Some selling some unique products, some selling tat.

There were a couple of new age/holistic well-being shops selling crystals and the like, but no pagan shops selling witchcraft supplies.

We had a pub lunch and then went for a walk following the upward path of an unknown waterfall. Here are some photos of the waterfall:
