I’ve been away for the last two weeks on a job in Leeds and am back in London for the weekend for a bit of R&R before going back up to Leeds on Monday for a final week. Leeds lies north of London and driving between the two cities has taken between 3 and 3.5 hours. Leeds seems like a nice enough city. The people of Leeds seem remarkably friendly and genuine. Though its hard to judge what a city is like when the only time you get to spend in it is after business hours, we’ve tried our best to enjoy what the city has to offer. Like typical English cities there are plenty of bars and clubs and I think we’ve visited our fair share of them.

We’ve been staying at the Leeds City Hilton and I must say we are being rather spoilt with a big fry-up breakfast every morning, the gym available for our use free of charge and a generous dinner allowance every night.

So far in two weeks we have managed to hit a number of restaurants and bars without any repeats. The boys definitely enjoy a drink or two and they have been most entertaining. There are also a great number of shopping areas in Leeds, including Victoria Quarter, Granary Wharf and The Corn Exchange which I have not been able to take advantage of due to work.

Our latest adventures involved Halo, a trinity church turned nightclub, and the start of the MTV base tour. Music was rockin’ (right into our ears!) and it was definitely a fun evening. Unfortunately we had to cut it short at around 1am because we did actually have to work the next day (sigh). Still, we saw some new talent in the form of Carmen Reece and Jayme (Usher wannabe) perform before we left. Some Halo pics:
