Tonight I’m talking about the original Boston, in Lincolnshire, not the one in Massachusetts. I was in the town yesterday to talk about a ground-breaking digital project which might be taking off quite soon – hopefully I’ll be able to fill you in on the details in the near future. We had a short amount […]
On Ilkley Moor Baht’at
I spent the afternoon yesterday in Ilkley, the former spa town set in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s a picturesque place with what appear to be rather well-healed residents and visitors, being home to the Michelin-starred Box Tree restaurant, many boutiques and one of ‘Bettys‘ team rooms, synonymous with Yorkshire. It also features in the 2003 […]
Dewsbury, West Yorkshire
I’ve not spent a great deal of time in Yorkshire in years past other than occasional trips to Sheffield, so it’s been interesting to see so much of the county over the last month or two. This trip took me to Dewsbury today, a small town to the west of Wakefield and to the south […]

I was in Manchester today, and had two very different experiences in the space of one day. I won’t give you a general spiel on Manchester itself, because there are plenty of people who blog about the city already (to name but a few Manchizzle, Manchester Blog, Manchester Is Ace), but what I am going […]
Mirfield, West Yorkshire
The main reason for my visit to West Yorkshire over the weekend was so that M could go for a job interview in Mirfield on Monday, which gave me a few hours to kill in this charming little town that sits on the main route between Leeds and Huddersfield. It’s not the most impressive destination […]
Royal Armouries, Leeds
I’ve had a quick jaunt up to Leeds and back this weekend, and today we went over to the Royal Armouries museum, located in the redeveloped Clarence Docks. It’s a monumental building, dominated by a huge tower at one end that contains displays of arms and armour stretching up six floors. The museum contains over […]
Belfast Castle
Nearing the end of my current trip to Northern Ireland I took in another new location today, Belfast Castle, just north of the City Centre and perched up on the mountainside with a commanding view over Belfast Lough. It’s rather diminutive but very charming, built in a rather ostentatious Scottish baronial style by the Donegall […]
