Veganuary: Yorkshire founders reflect on impact as new film marks ....

The date was February 12, 2013, the time 10.37pm. From a kitchen table in York, a global phenomenon was born. Matthew Glover sent an email to two of his friends asking for thoughts on an idea he’d been dreaming up with wife Jane Land. ‘Veganuary’ read the subject line. The text that followed was only a few words: “Like Movember, but all money raised goes to Farm Sanctuary or similar. Good idea?” A really good idea, the couple agree now, talking from their Yorkshire home more than a decade later…

How imaginary realms of Brontë siblings inspired new book by ... - ...

With a new interest in the history of the Yorkshire sisters – Charlotte, Emily and Anne - and their brother Branwell, Bunzl found himself fascinated by the imaginary realms the siblings created as children. “I just thought that was really interesting and exciting,” he explains. “That was the genesis of the idea for [my latest book] Glassborn, hearing about their childhood and how they were writing long before they were published writers. I loved their imagination.” “They would make up stories of…

The Yorkshire Scandinavian Christmas market that once sold pate ......

These days, there’s no baths involved but that Danish liver pate remains one of the many products available at East Yorkshire’s Scandinavian Christmas Market. The market is set to return on November 25 at the Danish Church in Hull. Organised by the church and its partner organisation, the Nordic House cultural centre, it attracts visitors from across the North. This year, organisers say they are building up the market with more space and extended opening hours as it continues to recover from the…

'Don't regret not doing things' - EastEnders star Linda Marlowe on ...

If there is one message that writer Colin Skevington and actress Linda Marlowe want audiences to take from their short film The Lossen, it is that of the sadness in unfulfilled dreams. “It’s to not live your life waiting for things to happen,” 83-year-old Marlowe says. “There are bad things and good things [in life] but don’t regret that you’ve not done things…Don’t leave something until you get really old and say I wish I could turn the clock back. “I am old now and I don’t feel like that. I…

'Without them, the NHS wouldn't exist' - New exhibition shines ligh...

The pair of paediatricians from India had met on their first day of medical school in Kolkata and after finishing their postgraduate training, were mulling over their next steps. Many of their friends had travelled to the UK for experience working in the NHS and Arnab’s father was keen for them to do the same. A professor at an engineering college, he had studied for his PhD in Sheffield in the 1950s and found that time overseas had broadened his horizons. “It stuck with us that he wanted us to…

We spoke to Marks and Gran, who wrote some of the top televisi…

How rewilding efforts in Yorkshire are supporting the recovery of ....

The Yorkshire Rewilding Network is a key part of that. “Our main aim is connecting, inspiring and enabling rewilding throughout Yorkshire,” says community engagement officer…

PP Arnold, rewilding and Yorkshire prehistoric monuments: The Yorks...

we spoke to author Adam Morgan Ibbotson who says Yorkshire has some of the best prehistoric monuments in the world. Yorkshire dog groomer James Holberry told us how he overcame spinal injury to compete and teach around the world. We heard from a Yorkshire historian about women’s role in the miners’ strike and the differing stances held during that turbulent year from 1984-5. We hopped on board the driver’s cab of a TransPennine Express train to hear about delays, training and trespassers. We exp…

FareShare Yorkshire: How charity is helping to feed thousands in .....

There have been times when children as young as two or three have cheered at the sight of food items packaged in a box, grateful to be one of the families on the receiving end of a food parcel. A heartbreaking observation from Norfolk Community Primary School in Sheffield, where packages are handed out to some of the community’s most vulnerable families. But it’s far from the only place where there’s a need for food. At PAFRAS Leeds (Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers), up to 80 fo…

Meet the Yorkshire teaching assistant marking ten years since breas...

“I wasn’t really in the habit of checking my breasts regularly – I just did it every now and then,” she recalls. “However, when I looked in the mirror, I noticed that my left breast was a bit lower than the other one and it just didn’t seem quite right. Although I couldn’t feel a lump, I made an appointment with my GP straight away.” At that check, nearing ten years ago now, Emma’s doctor found a lump and she was referred to Doncaster Royal Infirmary for further tests. Just weeks later, she rece…
