I saw this on Instagram and had to replicate.

Venla is officially given a name at her naming ceremony.

It was a good year for running including 24 minutes of my time at the Leeds Half Marathon and a sub-50 Abbey Dash.

Earlier this month, I went on a night photography course around Leeds.

I tried to order three scoops of ice cream at Kaspas. Instead, they brought me three separate ice creams. It was very lucky that my ice cream helper was on hand to get the job finished.

Panini at Leeds Beckett

Today we continue my series on people who cannot spell panini.
