Leeds

We had a great time in Leeds visiting my niece, nephew-in-law and great-niece and staying in their new (as in 1st) house.  We didn't do more than hang out with them so no tourist ventures into the city. We've been there before had had a wander around then. My impression of the city both times is that it is a dark city - all dark red bricks and dark green trees. We wandered down to their local bar-restaurante for a pint or 3 of the local brew and some delicious food although Barry's 'bacon chop' wasn't as big as he was expecting. Trained back to London the next day without any problems. Not such a simple thing as I discovered in previous trips - random cancellations, faulty train before leaving the station so had to change and lost our booked seats, train on fire, people telling us we were in their seats, we weren't and then seats booked for the wrong day, tossed out in some little place on the way to the airport being 
 "there  may be a bus and taxis"!!!! So, an uneventful train trip on British Rail was really nice.
Here's some photos from Leeds
