Throwing off the winter shackles

After a long, grey winter, signs of spring are popping up across Leeds.

- 

Pavement cafes are filling up, beer gardens are alive with chatter, and the city’s residents are shaking off the seasonal cobwebs in search of sunshine and good cheer.

That certainly rang true this week, as a stretch of blue skies tempted me out of my winter cocoon and into one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Leeds: Oakwood.

My first port of call was SALT, a familiar name to many. With venues across the region - including several in Leeds-SALT Oakwood remains one of the area's staples, and it’s a place I find myself drawn to each summer.
