On Monday event with Andy Burnham took place in Leeds. As Andy’s regional director I got to organise and host the event. Thanks to @pennyb for the photo. Great feedback for Andy from Leeds with lots of twitter comments and this great email I thought I’d share: I really enjoyed Andy Burnham’s presentation and questions last night. Continue reading Leeds loves Andy Burnham I was sorry to miss being at the LSE’s ‘what about women’ election debate I was meant to be at this week. I have just watched it on video and it was a great debate. You can watch the debate between Harriet Harman, Lynne Featherstone and Theresa May here. It’s a disgrace though that women Continue reading What will the parties do for women? Whilst most people are looking forward to their summer holidays, it’s a big concern that hundreds of women in Leeds will be worried about the summer holidays because it will mean spending more time with their violent partner. Leeds City Council report that in the summer holiday last year as many as 800 domestic violence Continue reading Help for victims of domestic violence in summer holidays A wonderful night was had by all at this year’s Opera in the Park which as always was set in the glorious surroundings of Temple Newsam on one of the most beautiful warm evenings we’ve had this year! I’ve always thought that this free event provided by Leeds City Council was a real bonus Continue reading Opera In the Park 2009 another resounding success Excellent all member meeting yesterday evening of Elmet and Rothwell Labour Party. Whilst this is a difficult time for us as a party it was great to see members fired up and speaking passionately about the issues that matter to them. Colin Burgon, our retiring MP gave a really interesting speech, I can identify with Continue reading Elmet and Rothwell Labour Party meeting Today was ‘Open Farm Sunday’ which is great as it gives everyone the opportunity to experience the countryside and connect with the land that feeds us. We went to a local farm, Swillington Organic Farm, which was taking part, with our little girl Esme. I know Swillington well, having lived there before we moved to neighbouring Continue reading Open farm Sunday in Swillington Had a great day with Stuart and Esme in Wetherby, we had a lovely fish and chip lunch from the Wetherby Whaler at the side of the river Wharfe in the shade of a tree as it was so hot! Esme loved watching the ducks playing and had a little paddle. We then attempted to Continue reading A nice family visit to Wetherby As a parent of a very young child am I alone in fuming when a car without young children (or in fact any children) steals the parking (usually the only spot left) meant for parents of young children? I have to admit I’ve shot a look or two at offending drivers. It’s not so much Continue reading Squeezing into a car parking space Not been blogging for some time but I do have a good reason. I had my daughter Esme just over 3 months ago. It’s been a wonderful life changing experience for me. I’ve found all the local services very good but there is also always room for improvement. |
