In the cool but beautiful northern U.K. summertime, we relaxed in this comfortable home in suburban Leeds, where we walked the leafy neighborhood & frequented the local pubs & restaurants. We visited a local museum, a nearby manor, a fun little zoo, the bustling downtown open-air market of Leeds, the storied town of York, & the Bronte sisters' (of "Wuthering Heights" & "Jane Eyre" fame) parsonage home in the quaintest of villages a 2-hour drive away. (Yes, this yank learned to drive on the left side of the road due to our hosts' fearless willingness to trade cars!) This is also a great central location from which to travel to stunning Edinburgh, Scotland (where we spent 4 days), & Dublin, Ireland (where we stayed a week). Thanks--Alice, Tom, Noah, & Ned--for giving us a home base & for taking care of our house & pets!
