Some like it hot!
I take very little heed of weather forecasts, especially the 5 day forcast. It’s an educated guess and I’ve rarely seen it be right. But I do like to check the ‘Next 24 Hours’ bit before setting out, to see ...
Personal Photography
A snap I liked
I saw this while I was out with my camera and it caught my eye. Something inside of me always wants to know what’s left and why we’re being told to go right. No doubt it’s for our own good (turning into oncoming ...
Mark Geary at the Sunday Service
You may know I shoot a lot of music with Phil Barber for The Sound Gallery in and around the North of England. I also help run an acoustic night called The Sunday Service down in Verve Bar’s cellars on the last Sunday of every month. ...

April's favourite Leeds Guide images
