Curry night this month was at one of the oldest curry houses in Bradford….and it was great. Tess wrote about the International a few months ago so I was looking forward to our visit.

2nd night in London and D joined me. We met at Galvins which is on the 28th floor of the Park Lane Hilton. I would say there are 3 places on a par to view London, Vertigo(Tower 42 in The City), The London Eye and Galvins. The most stylish and sumptuous is Galvins.

The morning after the excellent night before (at D&G’s) Tony and I had to travel to York to oversee the leaving of one set of tenants and preparation for the next. Thinking there might be a fair bit to do, we decided to stay in York overnight and on Jessica’s advice went to [...]
Just a quick note to praise East in Pudsey. A couple of mates and I had a quick early dinner before watching the mighty Leeds United(haha) play Darlington. We shared 2 starter dishes, the obligatory lamb chops and chicken livers both were excellent. Mains were a lamb bhuna, special hyderabadi(chicken and lamb) and keema achari. [...]
