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.
