bit of Leeds – West Yorkshire

Roundhay Park in Leeds – West Yorkshire is such a beautiful place of natural charm. It’s a great area to visit. There’s a strip of restaurants in Roundhay – all with outdoor seating/terraces. Much of Yorkshire is full of leafy suburbs. Leeds is a multi-cultural city and everyone gets on. There’s such a good vibe here in West Yorkshire.

This is the Deer Park Pub and Restaurant. I love the natural/neutral finish here. Friendly staff – home cooked menu. So nice when the weathers fine enough to sit out and watch the world pass by! Click on images to see the menu.

This is Hyde Park – Headingley/Leeds – primarily a student hangout. A cross section of just about everyone all chilling out. It’s a favourite haunt of mine. I feel so at home here. If you enjoy a social life you’ll get to hear what’s cool in the neighbourhood. So many house parties and gigs etc.  Or perhaps you’re like me – you just love the atmosphere and then to sneak home and watch movies in your jim-jams during the holidays. Tiff. X

‘Chief Dan George’ my heart soars

The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.

The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dew drop on the flower,
speaks to me.

The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
And the life that never goes away,
They speak to me.
And my heart soars.

 

 

 

 

Sir Elton John – Pioneer for Charity – Artist – Singer/Song-Writer – meeting mannequins (Dover Street Market)

Photo not my own – I steal the ones I want. This is so vividly crafty. I used to design and sell mannequins. I don’t miss this type of work due to the storage and logistics – I went too big too soon and it sort of got out of hand. It is all in my book. but I still love to see the giant dolls. A blank canvas – colour – fashion in all its quirkiness. Artistic talent by Dover Street Market for the Gucci Elton John Range. Click image to find Sir Elton John. Remember with alternative fashion we can be inspired to shop vintage or find cheaper equivalents. A good designer is an aspiration for all to interpret with clashing – textile –  colour – flair and embellishments.
