Ireland Wood, Leeds.

The area was named in the nineteenth century for the Irish who came to England to build canals. Today it is a tiny wild forest.

It probably is older but I never knew of it nor used it back then for sure.

The chart in question was 1970, which any mathematician will tell you is the last year of the sixties.

Seventeen year old me would be just as gobsmacked (a word that had not yet been invented) as the today me at the number of those acts still performing.

Commonwealth war graves in Lawnswood Cemetery, Leeds just after dawn this chilly September morning.

An autumnal picture of a monument to the dead. Warm hues in the early morning sunshine.

Manchego is one of the great cheeses of the world. Eggs in a multitude of forms, tortilla of course, also revueltos a sort of lumpy scramble. The heavy bean and pork stew, Fabada Asturiana, best eaten after hiking on a cold day in the Picos mountain range. Fresh seafood washed down with fino sherry.

Spain has some of the best food. San Sebastian, Gijon & Sanlucar my favourites.

The August Bank Holiday is approaching fast (the last one for a bit, so better make it count!) 🥲

Likewise, but the greatest invention after central heating is the string that holds your specs around your neck when you take them off.

Third greatest invention is half-moon specs obviously.

Thank you to everyone who has shared or read Future North in its first week!

This week I have started with two pictures. But can you guess what they are and why they are important?

Short thread.

Most of are owned by super rich young men from the Gulf states that are vacationing in London. They swan around the West End parking wherever they fancy. If we are present we applaud when they are impounded. It is actually a bonding experience for Brits of all social classes to join in the applause.
