LIFESTYLE, LEISURE, PLACES & HOME
Hot Yoga
I started Hot Yoga last year but I plan to go weekly in the New Year. One of Tony’s Christmas gifts to me was a 10 week course at ‘Be Yoga Space’ in Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield and so I’ll be starting 2024 as I mean to go on. The classes are cathartic & really help reduce any stresses & tension. ‘Be Yoga’ is a purpose built Yoga studio with excellent facilities and a lovely ambiance.

BEAUTY, HEALTH & STYLE
January reset & detox
So as I now move into the year I turn the big 5 0, I’m
really determined to live my best life this year & getting my health &
fitness in top condition is my first priority. I’ve done a lot of internal work
on myself over the past couple of years and, although I don’t lead an unhealthy
life, I could certainly work to be fitter & healthier again. Exercise &
what goes into your body also lifts your mood & energy levels which, being
in perimenopause, I really do need. I want to learn much more about nutrients
& the best supplements to take along with drinking much more water. I’ve
not been sleeping well at all recently and I think a big health kick will
hopefully improve this too.
RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH
Capri, Mirfield
We spent New Years Eve 2023/4 with 2 of our close friends and ate at Capri Mirfield Italian restaurant before ringing in the New Year at their house.
I’ve never eaten here before but have heard lots of good
things about it so I was really looking forward to it.
The restaurant opened early 2020 & has gone from
strength to strength in a very short space of time. As we drove up, the outside
area is very attractive & aesthetically extremely pleasing & the
restaurant inside is spacious, modern and inviting. Being New Years Eve it was
busy but it doesn’t feel crowded as its so spacious. The service was prompt
with friendly staff & the Italian cuisine was delicious and excellent value
for money.
We had a lovely evening and will definitely be
returning.

FILM/TV SHOW OF THE MONTH
The Gilded Age Series 2
I loved Series 1 but I think I’ve enjoyed series 2 even more & I’m thrilled they’ve commissioned a 3rd series.
The sets & costumes are visually stunning and it
really captures this fascinating era.
I’m already watching both series again!
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘Mum what’s wrong with you?’ Lorraine Candy
Having a teenage daughter who has just started
University, a 15 year old son & liking Lorraine Candy’s podcast, I thought
this would be a useful book to read, which it was.
The book is a reassuring survivor’s guide to the highs
& lows of parenting adolescents, giving lots of tips to keep the bond &
connection with your teens.
