MY LEEDS/ NORTHERN MONK.

The Northern Monk is definitely a much loved and regularly visited place amongst my friends. From the day I heard it was opening, just a short walk from my house, I was interested to check it out and it did not disappoint. Tucked just off Marshall Street in the Old Flax Mill, it doesn't look like much from the outside (and the initial smell of the brewery downstairs takes some getting used to) but the simple decor with long wooden tables, exposed brick and concrete planters on each table with the low hanging lights above gives it such a good atmosphere. It is open early for breakfast and stays open til late for food and drinks, perfect for any time of day. It's where you can find us most Friday evenings and I even celebrated my birthday here!

I've probably been far to many times but I don't expect that to stop any time soon. Here are some photos from last weekend for a delicious brunch. I went for the vegetarian haggis with braised beans and a poached egg. Yum.

Thanks Northern Monk for being so great and so close by, see you on Friday!

JENI + COFFEE.

For the past few days I had the pleasure of hanging out with a wonderful friend of mine as she came to visit Leeds with work. Time with Jeni is time well spent, trust me.  In amongst sleepovers, shopping and a much needed catch up we called into Mrs Atha's and snapped a few pictures. 

Thanks so much for visiting Jeni, see you again soon please!

MY LEEDS/ FROTH & FODDER

Froth & Fodder is one of my favourite places for coffee in Leeds. 

I discovered it while I was at university and used to have breakfast there every Friday with friends for a year. It's pretty tiny but I love the cosy feel and somewhere I could easily spend more time! The coffee is delicous, food is seriously tasty and the music is excellently chosen. I would highly recommend it if you're ever passing through.

As I've said before, I love living in this city and want to share more of it on this blog. I need to work on getting my camera out in public without feeling embarassed! These photos don't fully capture this place. 

Have a lovely week!
