Things that can be reused like furniture and electrical items will be sold at the "Revive Leeds re-use shop". Which is great because I hate it when you see perfectly good things in the tip.

Warmer weather brings us many of our favourite things: birds, flowers, butterflies - and fields full of newborn lambs.

I witnessed the birth of a beautiful little fella they named Jericho!:

The theft took place at about 09:40 on Friday morning from a railway plant in the Sandall Lane industrial estate.

Acting Insp Andy Coulter says: "Rail detonators are small devices placed on rail tracks to alert people who are working on the line that a train is approaching.

"While these pieces of equipment do not pose a wider risk to the public, as they are detonated when a train travels over them and emit a very loud sound and slight explosion, they are used by trained professionals under strict safety guidelines.

"As such, I’d like to ask that if you do see these items, not to touch them but instead to call us."
