Week 89: Lynne

Hello. I live in a area just off York road, I am interested in promoting this Area as a lot of money has been spent making it a safe and green Area to walk and Bike. Also the wildlife would be a factor. I would also like to take a broad look at Leeds and find interesting things to do. I am retired so lots of time on my hands.

Week 88: Katie

I am displaced Londoner who lives in Armley and works at the University of Leeds, where I teach and write about theatre. I write the blog ‘Reasons to be Single’ (glitterforgrownups.wordpress.com) and contribute regularly to The Culture Vulture (theculturevulture.co.uk). I expect my week will be a whirlwind of writing, cooking and eating (I’ll even tweet the recipes) and complaining about the noises my neighbours make at 6am.

Week 87: Sara

Healthy eating fitness fanatic, I love running, jumping, skipping and playing out on my bike. By day I'm a project officer for Leeds city council, working to make Leeds an amazing UNICEF child friendly city.... By night, as long as I'm exercising then I'm happy. Love Fridays, hate Mondays!   

Week 86: David

I'm David (@Daviddotzip) from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Just turned 30 and I'm visiting Leeds and England for the first time. Through @PeopleOfLeeds and #RoCur accounts I've made friends around the world and I'm on a trip to meet them. 

I'm a nerd and my interests are many. I love music, movies, TV, books, video games, food, tea, motorcycles, art, culture, and just talking to people. I believe in life long learning and kindness are the key to happiness. 

Week 85: Esti

Hola all!! I’m Esti from Barcelona! (@leedsbeermaz) Decided to come and live in Leeds 17 years ago to study, dropped out of uni, got a job in the legendary Underground… and never looked back! After graduating in Art and Design working in bars and finally organising the Leeds International Beer Festival seemed like the natural thing to do. Some random and tiny facts things about me: I’ve lived in America, Spain & Germany. I studied Economics at Uni, I love polaroids, (Beer & Music) Festivals, sleeper trains and marmite. Pets have included a dog called Mus and my tapeworm Tom. So expect random Tweets from me….maybe not in Spanish, it’s been so long I seem to have forgotten some of it!

Week 84: James

I'm James and I've lived in Leeds for the 28 years of my life. I've moved around a fair bit, living in Headingley, Chapeltown, Chapel Allerton, Miles Hill, Scott Hall, Primley Park, City Center and now Meanwood. North Leeds for the win! There's no city I'd rather be, all of my favourite places are in Leeds. Does Ilkley count? Outside work I do ordinary things like binging on TV box sets or playing games. I also muck about musically and with soldering irons. At work I'm a software developer which is something I like to do for pleasure as well. One of my favourite pastimes is camping, I once camped every month for 14 months on the trot! My wife and I rent a small allotment and this year we're trying to grow some rare vegetables including Romanesco and "Dragon Purple" Carrots (old school).

Weel 83: Kirsty

I am a mum with two young children who lives in Ilkley. I’ve just moved back to Yorkshire from London and I’m loving the fact people now know what a buffet is and no one moans when I say dinner instead of lunch. I write a blog about the funny side of family life at www.eehbahmum.com. I’d love any tips for family stuff to do in and around Leeds as the last time I lived here I was a student and spent most of my time drinking 10p pints at Ricky’s. Not sure what I’ll be up to during the week but it will definitely involve being hit in the face by a plastic dinosaur.
