00:00 The Meanwood Valley Trail is really, really nice to do at any time of year, I think.

00:05 Rounday Park, Golden Acre, all of those trails are really, really lovely.

00:11 And I think film-wise, just put the notebook on.

00:15 Yeah, put the notebook, any Christmas film.

00:17 Elf.

00:18 Bang a cat.

00:18 Cumberland.

00:19 Polar Express.

00:20 Hot chocolates.

00:21 Christmas pyjamas.

00:23 Yeah.

00:23 Near where I live, actually, Meanwood Valley Farm, that way, through the woods.

00:27 And possibly round through Woodhouse Woods as well.

00:30 Good to see a farm that's in an urban area, really.

00:34 Urban valley farm, it's brilliant.

00:37 And nice scenery round there, in my opinion.

00:40 Yeah, it makes a change.

00:42 As far as what to watch this winter, I think comedies like On the Buses or Doctor Who.

00:50 So, sort of the old classics.

00:52 Personally, I prefer the older classic versions.

00:55 The William Hartnell Patrick Troughton era to the more modern version.

01:01 Where to walk, I would say, there's lots of lovely parks around here.

01:05 Golden Acre Park would be quite nice when it's snowing.

01:10 And you've also got Rounday Park and just around the city centre.

01:15 Maybe Rounday Park is a very good option.

01:19 Golden Acre Park, especially if you go by walk or with the cycle, it might be a good option.

01:27 I have gone there on my bicycle.

01:31 A very good experience.

01:32 Beauty of nature and the sense of the life.

01:38 I met no person there.

01:42 There was no person, just me.

01:43 I feel something special on that day.

01:47 In regard of movies, I watched a recent movie called Hunger Games.

01:51 I actually recommend it.

01:52 It's like a series of movies and now it's the recent movie.

01:56 Oliver at Leeds Playhouse was absolutely fantastic.

01:59 I went to see it last week and that was just superb.

02:02 I go to the theatre quite a lot because I don't have a television.

02:06 Kirkstall Abbey and Hawksworth Woods, which is harder to say than it sounds.

02:13 So, yeah, they're beautiful this time of year.

02:17 Bit muddy, hence the boots.

02:20 But, yeah, they're both really, really nice.

02:23 I think...

02:24 I think if you're coming to Leeds, Trinity, go shopping.

02:32 Cinema.

02:33 Trinity Kitchen.

02:34 It's great there.

02:37 There's lots of food.

02:39 It just puts you into the Christmas spirit really well.

02:44 It's good to watch on Christmas Eve, right before Christmas Day.

02:48 It's really good.

02:50 I'd say just, like, Home Alone.

02:53 I mean, if you're wanting something new, then the new Hunger Games.

02:58 I think that's about it.

03:02 I can't think of anything else.
