…all but the recollection that such things had been.

The next stop on the adventure is   Leeds. It all happened in the blink of an eye. My wife interviewed on Wednesday, secured the job on Thursday… and just like that we are off to Leeds. 200 miles north of London, Leeds is in West Yorkshire and is home to my favourite English accent (until we move again, anyway). Sadly, Leeds is famous for shopping, banking, and the start of this years Tour de France (somebody apparently needs a geography lesson).

But all is not lost because according to an Holiday Inn Express website, the top 10 Leeds attractions are Pole Position Indoor Karting, Tropical World, Harewood House (a Georgian mansion), Leeds Kirkgate Market (an Edwardian building), Diggerland (an amusement park), Charlotte's Ice Cream Parlour, the National Coal Mining Museum, Xscape Yorkshire (rock climbing and skiing???), Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and Ilkley Toy Museum.



...Farewell, London, for the present; is that all?
