00:00 Hi, Chris Byrne here, Yorkshire Post Business and Features Editor. Hello from sunny-ish Sheffield.
00:07 I just wanted to tell you about the Yorkshire Post magazine this weekend. We've got loads of
00:12 stuff in as we always do. We are visiting A.W. Hainsworth, a historic Yorkshire woolen mill
00:18 that's celebrating its 240th anniversary this year, telling us about their loads of fantastic
00:24 things they've been up to over the years. We've also got a chat with two companies that are
00:30 working on Yorkshire's newest whisky. There's a visit to Sheffield to speak to a lady who is
00:36 running an allotment programme that helps people with their mental health. We've also got a chat
00:40 with Simon Gwell of The Chef, talking about why he's leaving the restaurant world behind for a new
00:45 venture. And also, if that wasn't enough, we're speaking to Yvette Cooper about her favourite
00:52 places in Yorkshire and sharing some of the places that her and husband Ed Balls love the most.
