A day in Leeds

Well two days actually! We spent Wednesday with Jo visiting Leeds Metropolitan University where she is doing a degree in PE - and had a very healthy lunch (as seen above) in the University area. In the evening we went to see the latest offering from James Bond - which was OK as Bond movies go. I thought the new 007 did a fine job in the role.
On Thursday Mo and I took a long walk to see an Industrial museum - which, much to Mo's disgust, was closed at this time of year! We came back into Leeds by bus and visited the Art gallery - partly because they have a nice resturant where we got lunch and partly to see an exibition of Leonardo da Vinci drawings which have been kindly lent by the Queen. His drawings are amazing but I couldn't help thinking of the corpses he had cut up to draw the bone and mucsle structures of the human body!
In the afternoon we went to the Royal Armories museum where they have a huge collection of all maner of equipment used in warfare down through the years. The photo shows Mo standing beside the only set of Elephant chain mail on public display anywhere in the world.
In the evening we rounded off our holiday with a meal at "Nandos" which was very nice. Nandos is a chain of Portugese resturants which started in South Africa and is expanding rapidly through the UK at present. Not sure if they have got to Australia yet but if the do you should try one.
We had an early start this morning (4.30) to carch a 7.00 flight to Belfast and a busy day shopping for tiles for the new studio so are ready for bed now. Goodnight.
