Vicar Lane in Leeds opens to two way traffic, first time in 50 years

Vicar Lane in central Leeds will reopen to bus traffic going both ways on Sunday 21 February, improving reliability and journey times by removing a bottleneck on The Headrow at New Briggate. The reopening marks the first time buses will have travelled northbound on Vicar Lane since the road was closed to one way traffic in 1964. From Sunday (21 February), northbound buses that normally travel up New Briggate will divert to Vicar Lane, which will be open to buses and taxis only during peak peri

Walking with Vikings

Author: Philippa Kaye. Walking and words, two passions of mine. Last week I was out walking discovering, as many of us now have, our own back yard, finding walks and history and stories right on our doorstep that we previously never knew existed. Given the amount of rain and snow that we’ve had, as soon as one ventures out into fields, it’s pretty hard not to get bogged down in mud. Now in these parts, we have words for mud that aren’t common throughout the rest of the country, clarty and clag

Being prepared

By Philippa J Kaye, travel expert, and avid explorer. Well, it’s hard to know where to start this year when writing about travel. I’ve had various thoughts. Do we keep it closer to home, discovering (more) of what’s in our backyard, in which case, how fortunate we are to be in Yorkshire with all that it has to offer! Then there’s the day-dream, haven’t we all dreamt about a day out at a spa or even a weekend away? The recent Online Spa Guide awards picked some of our Yorkshire spas as its top p

Unexpected connections

By Philippa Kaye "Why don’t you go to The Piece Hall?" Where? "The Piece Hall?" Why? "It’s a Grade 1 listed building and has got lots of shops" It didn’t do it for me. I didn’t go. I didn’t know what I was missing. I’ve since visited. I do now. I then said I was going to write about it and I was told that there was nothing I could write about it that hadn’t already been written. Gauntlet thrown. You see, making links and unexpected connections is what makes travel and discoveries fun. A

Is there wildlife in Yorkshire

Author: Philippa Kaye We tend not to think of Yorkshire as having much wildlife, other far flung destinations have secured the monopoly on that. Africa is an obvious choice, famous for the Big 5, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant and cape buffalo, and of course there are also zebra and giraffe; I always wonder what the early explorers must have thought when faced with these strange looking creatures. Naturally, being the author of a book set in a wildlife reserve in India, I strongly advocate

Running routes, you need to try in the UK.

Running routes, you need to try in the UK.

This time last year, we hated running. Then the pandemic hit, and lockdown changed outdoor activities into a luxury with many people turning to jogging during the crisis, just to be outside. On 13 October, the UK Government announced that the UK would be placed into a set of local COVID tier systems. Will this affect your runs? To put it simply, no. The systems still allow us to meet others to run as long as you are not running in a group of more than six. Why not reignite your passion for run

Did you know that Chicken Tikka Masala doesn’t actually exist? Well not in India anyway…….

Two things have happened in the last couple of days to prompt this article. The first is that I was asked, after completing a short presentation on India, if the Indian food that we get here is anything like the Indian food that we get in India. The answer is no, absolutely not, not a bit, well apart from the occasional good south Indian restaurant but that’s not what most people here consider to be a ‘curry.’ The second thing that happened was that leading chefs of India celebrated what would
