April – the month of eating and drinking outside in the rain. Sounds awful, but I’m going to do it!

With curfews abolished for hospitality, I might stay out past dark. Don’t worry though I won’t be alone, I will find a person to come with me.

Ooh and I’m going to start a list of places I want to go, new and old.
I do love a list 🙂

This gorgeous cover artwork by Artist and Illustrator Zacrosso is available to purchase as a A4 or A3 print from Etsy.

For this edition I’ve had a funny chat with Memphis Pete AKA Daddy Cool, we talk about Facebook live shows, bad Elvis jokes and the future.
Why does Elvis like milkshakes so much?
They are all shook up!
(Pete didn’t like this joke much either, sorry).

I don’t know about you, but I’ve gained a lockdown belly and have mostly been dressing from the waist up. Toni Carver of TLC Style and Colour has provided some top tips to help us feel more confident with our wardrobes as we come out of lockdown.

I spoke to Ben ‘Buddy’ Slack from The Swan Song Project. We discuss the free musical services that they provide to help people nearing the end of life to write and record their own songs.

The Meanwood Street Art trail has been finalised and it is awesome. I’ve put this as the centre spread of the mag so you can pluck it out and take it with you. Enjoy!

Over at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm, InterACT Church and Community Partnership are building a Meanwood Men Shed. The space will be dedicated to the men of our community to socialise and share skills. Find out more and get involved.

Suzie Hamlin from Shout Aloud contacted me to discuss a unique charitable project and I wanted to share her bold, not for profit jewellery brand with you all.

Also, I have included a Kids Cover Competition, which is basically just that. I’d love to see some brilliant artwork of the things our children are looking forward to. 

A big thank you to the amazing businesses who advertise in THAT LEEDS MAG and make it possible.

The community is full of brilliant people with stories to tell, if you would like to be featured please get in touch.
