I went to the local derby between Leeds v Huddersfield on Saturday. We lost to an injury time goal, so it was a bit disastrous football wise, but I was sitting high in the Upper East Stand, which isn't open much these days. I remembered there were great views of sunsets there during the 3pm winter games, but this game was a 12.15 kick off, so too early for that.

But I did get to appreciate the view, with distant multicoloured trains passing through the mixture of concrete, fields and trees evoking the image of a snake passing through a zen garden.

The Elland Road pitch looked like an emerald amongst the jade fields outside, and I thought it must have been imported from the finest Dales fields.

I'm blogging the day in more detail and three parts on my blog at www.greenygrey.co.uk/blog so hopefully you'll join me there.

I've got a couple of photos from Kirkstall Abbey after the game on the BBC Leeds website at:

Beautiful sunny day here today by the way, and weather was good over the weekend.
