It was with some trepidation, then, that I received an invitation from
Leeds University Union’s Real Ale Society. “There is a Beer Fest in the
Old Bar”, they said. “Come and have a look!”, they urged. Now, your
editor is always up for new experiences and challenges, so at 4pm on a
Friday I am waiting outside the Union Building. Everyone seems to be in
normal clothing, so I stuff my Batman costume in my bag and await my
guides.

These muffins are just perfect for the festive season – either for breakfast or as a sweet treat. Once your oven is warmed they take no time at all to make.

One of the best ways to get out and about in West Yorkshire, especially if you fancy a beer while you’re out, is to take the bus. The following trip starts at Keighley, gets on to a 760 bus, and we’ll work our way into Leeds gradually.
