Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to the launch of my eighteen month adventure. With the help of me mum, weekly emails will be posted for your reading pleasure. Many will be clever, some more than others, but all will reveal the nitty gritty details of Leeds, England that you're simply dying to snack upon. Sit back, relax, conjure up your favorite piping hot beverage, and enjoy a spot of Noontime Tea with me.
