Leeds "antiquarian" Ralph Thoresby, died otd in 1725. (300 years ago) Known for his diaries and "Ducatus Leodiensis. Without him, we wouldn't have the history of Leeds the way we know it!

Wonder how Kirkgate Market would look if it didn't have the fire in 1975? Would it still have had the entertainment space with the eating area?

Well, bought a lovely album of Chopin Polonaises performed by Maurizio Pollini Some wonderful performances here!

My second home!

Can anyone identify this tree in our front garden that in recent years started growing green spikey fruits which the squirrels love to eat? Thank you🌲

Just listening to a beautiful Elgar Cello Concerto. Steven Isserlis Philharmonia Orchestra Paavo Järvi 🎶🎶

Happy birthday to Ralph Thoresby born otd in 1658. Without him, we wouldn't have the history of Leeds as we know it🎂

Already a member!

Just reading about Queen Mary I. I'm assuming that she had a phantom pregnancy or could it have been something more sinister? Also, did Prince Philip love her or was he using her to get his hands on England?

Happy Yorkshire Day!

Because of her, I can vote in elections. Whichever day it is, happy birthday Emmeline🎂

Thank you so much to Leeds Haydn Players @melvin-tay.bsky.social Desmond Clarke and everyone else involved for a wonderful concert this afternoon. We enjoyed it so much. Thank you once again🎶🎶

Happy birthday NHS🎂

Went on a lovely tour travelling on this beauty calling at Kirkstall Abbey and Middleton Railway. Very nostalgic for me because my Dad was a bus conductor in the '60s & '70s. Thank you to @LeedsCivicTrust who organised this trip.

What magic to be able to enjoy a performance like this almost 35 years later: Steven Isserlis is inside the piece from the very first note. Dvořák's Cello Concerto in B minor, performed here with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony and conducted by David Shallon, in 1991 ✨

Been waiting a long time to get this blue plaque into my photo collection!

Near where we live. Beautiful!

Love the tribute to Tom Harper in the Cathy Marsden book "No precious Truth" @chrisnickson2.bsky.social 📖📖

Wonderful concert yesterday evening from Sinfonia of Leeds performing Downes Elgar Sibelius. We enjoyed it very much🎶🎶

Well, this months focus is Sibelius Symphony no 3. A symphony that I don't know very well and we are going to see it performed live . Recording used Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra Neeme Järvi

We were there!

Love this symphony. Such a shame that it is never heard on the radio or performed in concerts🎶🎶

Happy birthday Sir William🎶🎶

Thank you to Leeds Haydn Players, @melvin-tay.bsky.social Finn Anderson-Hendra and everyone else involved for a wonderful concert yesterday afternoon performing Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you once again🎶🎶

Think there are scammers pretending to be from Sky making the rounds. Know of a couple that were scammed by them. Had a call this morning and saw them coming!

Went to a wonderful recital last Tuesday at "The Venue" in Leeds. Stephen Hough performed Cheminade Liszt His own composition "Sonatina Nostalgica Chopin

Well, for my focus this month, it is Chopin Piano Sonata in B minor Stephen Hough. Already, learning that it is a beautiful sonata with a wonderful final movement.

Beautiful sun-set where we live

Happy birthday, Frédéric🎂 youtu.be/iuCheDo7HQM?...

Thank you @leedscivictrust.bsky.social for a very interesting evening about blue plaques yesterday. As mentioned, we have a photo collection of most of the Leeds ones and some in other areas. Lovely seeing all of you also.

Just ordered Persuasion Jane Austen This will be the final one to read. Read all the others and loved them📖📖

Just listening to a lovely Franck Symphony in D Riccardo Muti Philadelphia Orchestra🎶🎶

Just pre-ordered No Precious Truth @chrisnickson2.bsky.social Involving new character Cathy Marsden. Can't wait to meet her📖📖

A little light reading at the moment. Just started Northanger Abbey Jane Austin About a teenage girl staying in Bath with some neighbours who took her there📖📖

Whilst making meatballs(well, they don't make themselves 😀) listened to a beautiful Franck Sonata in A major, performed on the cello by Steven Isserlis Connie Shih So sublime🎶🎶

@nickholland.bsky.social On a recent visit to Bradford, was quite curious to see Currer Street and wonder if there was any connection there to Charlotte Bronte because I do know that Currer Bell was a pseudonym for her? Thank you for your help.

We were there. Very interesting talk!

Well Queen Anne started life in Leeds at the Moot Hall before jumping on to the original Corn Exchange further up. She then went to the Leeds Town Hall before finishing her journey at the Leeds Art Gallery.
