Loose in Leeds

 Monday May 17 Birthdays and Basins!

Today is our daughter Joanna’s birthday, so Happy Birthday Jo!! 

We are sheltering from the rain in Clarence Dock, the redeveloped river basin off the River Aire, in the centre of Leeds, moored right in front of the Royal Armouries. We had a peaceful night. The Armouries are closed Monday and Tuesday, sadly, and we aren’t sure they will be open on Wednesday, but we live in hope!

Our good friends Tim and Laura, who live locally, are visiting tonight - hooray! It has rained heavily, but we walked into town between showers and visited the Kirkgate market area, where we had a good Thai lunch , like we did in 2016. 

Our friends arrived and we bought pizzas and lasagne to eat on Annie with them, catching up on old times and family news:  A great evening.
