Back at the end of last year, my fair old city was graced with a night time food market – The Full Moon Market – by the crew behind the Durham Street Food Project.
I am all for more things like this happening in Durham, so I will be there again with bells on and I hope to see some of you there too for tasty treats!
Hopefully we will see more from regulars Papa Ganoush, Fat Hippo and Scream Pizza.
I’ve just returned from a city break in Holland and being the tech savvy blogger I am, I relied on my smart phone to get me through so I am showing you some of my Travel Apps.
If you remember my post about the Sunderland Air Show from a few weeks, you’ll be pleased to know that it also now appears on the DFDS Seaways blog.
For the best part of a year, whilst working away, I called the Marriott Hotel Leeds home.
Tucked away in a cute, quiet square just off Boar Lane opposite the new Trinity shopping centre, you can escape the hubbub of central city noise whilst still being a mere 10 minute walk from the train station and for me, the all important Harvey Nichols!
Dominating the riverside, the Malmaison hotel stands tall at the northern side of the Millennium bridge. With 6 floors of guest room splendour, you are spoiled with picture perfect views from the windows.
Built in 1902 by Louis Gustave Mouchel, the former Co-operative Bonded Warehouse now houses a total of 9 floors of sheer opulence and luxury for lucky guests to enjoy. From the basement spa and leisure facilities to the the ground floor Starbucks to the upstairs Mal bar and hot new Chez Mal Brasserie.
