Yesterday we caught the train into Leeds.It's the first time I have been there for 5 years.
The last time i went was soon after coming out of hospital post-pneumonia.
 Both then, and yesterday,  the reason for going was to see Rachael at id.http://www.idaromatics.co.uk/(100yards from  the train station) to pick up her famous "Asthma Blend".
sadly
Leeds itself is still shit.https://zimnoch.smugmug.com/Leeds-9th-August-2019/

the roar of the greasepaint: the smell of the crowd.

I'm as cynical as the next bloke.
 But I must say I was really 'moved' in Manchester on Thursday .
We attended Yoko Ono's "Bell For Peace' in Manchester Cathedral Garden. Just yards from the Arena Bombings.
Thousands of us people stood together  singing "Give Peace A Chance"
 It might be 'hippy shit' But it's better than 'Boris Shit' or 'Tommy Robinson shit' or 'Nigel Farage shit' .Non?

I think we are simply weary...?

So  ,here are some (infact most) of my photos from the past 7 days.

Even from her "grave", Theresa May continues to  poison the well!
I voted Labour & still support Jeremy Corbyn 100%

I have dear friends (usually Labour voters) who voted for both The Brexit Party and Liberal Democrats last Thursday.

 Be careful what you wish for my friends..............dont forget Europe's drift to the right (e.g. Le Penn).Ironically, given this was a 'European Election', nobody on the telly has once mentoned "Europe"!
