Every
Independent Cafe, Restaurant & Pub in Leeds That’s Now Doing
Takeaways
Well, it's official – we're in another
lockdown. The city's cafes, restaurants and pubs never really came out of
it, so it's more important than ever that we all come together to support
them. And this list will make it that little bit easier because we've
rounded up 196 indies that are now serving takeaways. Treat yourself and
help protect their future.

7
Deliciously Healthy Takeaway Options in Leeds
Starting the new year on a new health
kick? You're going to love these takeaway options because they're easy on
your waistline and packed with goodness. From
protein-rich sushi to fiery Indian rice bowls, you can smash your
targets and treat yourself to a delicious feed, without even picking up a
spatula.

You're invited to join
us on a sound journey...
As we
find ourselves pressing pause on live
events again, we want you to know that
you can still listen, watch and feel
connected to music.
Created
last spring, as part of BBC Arts and
Arts Council England’s Culture in
Quarantine programme, Walking Home:
Sound Journeys from Lockdown
are a unique way to explore the
environment around you. There are five
pieces to enjoy, each composed by
musicians inspired by a particular
place, time of day or state of mind.
New to the experience, or want to enjoy
again? Either way we hope they'll be a
great tonic to accompany your daily
exercise. If you can't go out, or are
self-isolating, simply close your eyes
and let the sounds whisk you away. The
full series is available to download
and listen to on Apple podcasts,
Spotify
and SoundCloud.

The choice is yours
Ever
wondered what everyone else has on
their lockdown playlist?
We asked, you answered, and the results
are in a near 5-hour playlist!
From Bernstein to Bizet, take a look to
see if your favourite is on there.

Thank goodness
2020’s over. Now, what’s next?
This month, I’m getting fit
and ready for whatever happens in
2021. As well as planning a much-needed, post-restriction British spa break,
I’m also boosting my immune system

for better sleep. Plus, did you know fragrance is a powerful tool for
hacking into our moods and energy levels? We’ve rounded up the best scents for
this from some truly amazing British brands.
Also, I can’t wait for the
2021 edition of Great British Brands, which is out on 15 January.
Stay tuned for the announcement of our GBB Awards

GREAT BRITISH BRAND
INTERVIEW
|
|
|
Clive
Jackson, founder and CEO of Victor
|
|
|
|
Favourite British
brand? Barbour. For someone
who is often out hiking or shooting, I find its waterproof
jackets are intuitively designed, incredibly well made and able to
cope with the harshest of weather. Hero? Sir Jackie
Stewart. I once worked with his Jaguar Formula One team and, on
the launch night at Lord's, I was directing my camera crew when he
stopped on the red carpet, pulled me out of the crowd and thanked me.
Making time for others is one of his special traits. Weekend? Henley
Festival. There is something rather special about seeing guests
arrive by slipper launch resplendent in black tie with
champagne in hand. Dish? A simple
grilled fresh lobster with chilli lime butter from my
barbecue. Institution? The Royal Marsden, Chelsea.
It’s a seat of learning for many, a place of excellence for all
and, speaking from first-hand experience, the medical staff are
second to none. Band? The Doors playing The End to see out
2020. Read? The Financial Times – it’s
neither sensational nor political and has a wealth of great
factual and balanced content written by some highly respected
journalists. Designer? Suzie Turner, for the
elegance and beauty of her dresses.

January
|

Welcome to
to 2021!
Happy New Year! We hope
you and your loved ones are staying safe and well in these challenging
times.
January is traditionally
a time of looking forward – New Year, new beginnings. Maybe you want to
improve your fitness, learn a new skill, or simply be more kind to
yourself. If burning off those extra calories that most of us put on over
the festive period is at the top of your list, why not check out our guide
to Edinburgh’s
Top Cycling Routes or The
Best Walking Routes in Edinburgh to get you started – best
of luck!
Whatever the festive
period brought you, January in Edinburgh is set to be an exciting month!
Read on for the very best of what the city has to offer at the start of
this new year...
Mainland Scotland is
currently in "enhanced level four". Local outdoor recreation,
sport or exercise, walking, cycling, golf, or running that starts and
finishes at the same place (which can be up to 5 miles from the boundary of
your local authority area) is currently permitted as long as you abide by
the rules on meeting other households. Full guidance on all the regulations
can be found here

Happy Birthday, Rabbie Burns
Like many of our
favourite traditions and celebrations, this year’s Burns Night festivities
might look a little different – as Rabbie himself said, “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
gang aft agley”. However, that won’t stop us celebrating this
much-loved day in deepest, darkest January.
If you’re need of some
inspiration on how to celebrate Rabbie’s birthday on 25th January from home
this year, our one-stop guide to all things Burns will point you in the right
direction. So, grab your whisky, haggis and dancing partner and celebrate
Scotland’s National Bard’s birthday in style!

What's
up New York,
Happy Wednesday!
Today will be mostly sunny, but that's no excuse to leave your coat at home,
bundle up, and remember your mask. 🌞
The resilience of
theater and the arts is ever-present thanks to the Public Theater's 17th
annual Under
The Radar Festival. Witness Alicia Hall Moran's "The Motown Project,
Espíritu by Teatro Anónimo, the world premiere of Capsule by Whitney White
and Peter Mark Kendall, and more digitally on the public's website.

Sometimes the best
moments go unseen, but Melissa Breyer's timeless photography of everyday
occurrences turned monotony into a collection titled, 'True
Stories'. 📷🏙
Jeff Mermelstein
has turned the congestion of NYC subways into a photography
collection, looking into the lives of strangers through their cellphone
screens. 📱🤳

Peeping Neighbor Art
Mermelstein’s Text Art Gallery Gives Us Transparency

interconnectedness, complication, and urgency.
By reminding us
all of the richness in every experience happening at any given moment around
NYC, it encourages unity.
