MY LEEDS/ MIDDLETON PARK.

At the beginning of May I headed out to Middleton Park to enjoy the sunshine and a Saturday off. I hadn't been before but it was great! So much bigger than I expected with loads going on. I love that despite living in a city, there are so many green spaces to escape to and explore. In the few hours we were there we walked through the woods, made it to the railway (running since 1758!) and sat in the sunshine. Next time I'm looking forward to finding the rose gardens which will hopefully be in full bloom.

THE VIEW WHILE EATING ICE-CREAM IN THE SUNSHINE

THE WOODS WERE COVERED IN HUNDREDS OF BLUEBELLS 

THE OLD RAILWAY HIDDEN WITHN THE PARK HAS ONE TRAIN THAT RUNS TWICE AN HOUR, GIVING US TIME TO TAKE A FEW PHOTOS ON THE TRACKS.

WATCHING FOR THE TRAIN..

IT ARRIVED!

YORK.

As mentioned in my last post, I'm sharing photos from a few days in York! We did a lot of wandering around the city in between sitting in coffee shops and people watching. A few days out was a perfect break and endless chatting about everything didn't hurt either. York is so pretty and I loved having the time to appreciate it. Seeing as it's only a short train ride away we both agreed we need to visit more often.

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BUILDINGS, I WAS READY TO MOVE IN.

THE MINSTER!

OUTSIDE...

...AND IN.

BLUE SKIES AND BLACK AND WHITE.

THE FAMOUS BETTYS. WE GAVE IT A MISS THIS TIME, ALWAYS A QUEUE.

Have a wonderful weekend!

AUTUMN IN MAY.

It's been a bit quiet over here recently which means life has been busy and it's not really slowing down but that's ok. This month is looking a bit jam packed but I spent the last few days away in York with my best friend to take some time out. I'll share some more photos later but here a a few I captured in the Museum Gardens while we enjoyed the sunshine.

I love that it's Spring and that there are so many flowers and trees alive! Weirdly the colours were very autumnal but beautiful all the same.
