Welcome to Leeds.

Me and my little buddy Rachel are hanging around on the outskirts of town today waiting for our old friend Chris to come pick us up.

We're off to Christopher's house for his youngest son Seth's first birthday party.

As we're waiting thought I'd get a picture of the not so beautiful Bewleys Hotel with it's informative but ugly 'Welcome to Leeds' sign and the totally beautiful blue sky. There's hardly a cloud in the sky right now and other than a slight breeze it's an absolutely gorgeous day.

Hopefully the weather will stay like this, Seth will have a great party and Egland will beat the deceptively tricky Switzerland in the Euro 2012 qualifier later this afternoon.

Cheers!
