Dear Readers

And so the year of Covid drags on...and on...Leeds is currently in tier 2, but who knows what the restrictions will be by the time you read this! Whatever they are, we hope you are safe and following the current rules.

We appreciate how difficult it is, especially for those of you who live alone, but the only way this will ever end is if everyone follows the guidelines. If you can, check in with your neighbours, it is likely we are all going to have to isolate, and perhaps need a bit of help and support, at some time. For further information or help go to www.leeds.gov.uk/ coronavirus.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this month’s Causeway. We have a sourdough recipe from Anne for you to try on page 20; we are currently wondering what inducement she might take to share the sourdough chocolate cake recipe next month. For the organised among you we have some local shops you might like to try for Christmas gifts; or if you are bored at home try making some of your own, we have shared some ideas on page 24. For those of you who enjoy striking exhibitions, you will enjoy Pandemic Inspired Art on page 13.

Although we have fantastic content again this month, it is taking much encouragement and cajoling from your editors. Please consider sending us your contributions, we are sure that others would enjoy reading them.

If you have any contributions for the magazine or would like to join the team please email us at causeway.editor@gmail. com

Blessings
