Leeds & Hull

Posted bykimandsallyPosted inUncategorized

We left Birmingham on a hot morning bound for our first ever overseas house sit in Leeds! It was a pleasant two hour train journey.

View from the train of one of the typical villages we passed through

Arrived at Leeds (first impression looks similar to Birmingham), lunch at the railway station then another train to Crossgates

It was a short walk to our house sit which turned out to be a lovely home, complete with Spa!

Street where our house-sit is
Our house sit (semi detached house)
Even though it is an old house they have had a lot done – lovely job renovating inside
Comfortable lounge
Nice to have a spa after such a long time without one!

While staying there we took a couple of trips to Hull to catch up with some of Daniel‘s family and to have a look around.Was so good to spend time with Philip (Daniel’s dad) Paula (Daniel’s Aunty) and Stuart (Daniel’s Uncle).

Old city centre
Lots of lovely old pubs everywhere
One of the many homes of the Pattie!
Street Life museum – timeless.

Kim and I shared this lunch in a local market. Neat idea that you could eat the ‘plate’ (Yorkshire Pudding)
