After the catch up excesses of last night, I'm sat near the famous Peace Gardens waiting to meet another friend for breakfast.
I have a lunchtime date too to fit in and I've decieded it's going to be a lovely day.
The rainbow flag is flying over this old steel city,
My home town

How lovely. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteChrist! The town hall's clock tower is leaning over. Has there been an earthquake?
ReplyDeleteRichter scale flatulence
DeletePlease don't call me that sir!
DeleteThe sun's shining and you're meeting lots of good friends in a comfortable place. You've decided right; and there is more in how you decide things are going to be than some may think.
ReplyDeleteProgress. It reaches all the corners sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteGlad the visit has been good!

Beautiful picture....enjoy your sunny day.
ReplyDeleteAs you know Sheffield holds a special place in my heart. Wishing you another sweet day filled with love.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to see the flag, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteit must make you very proud to see your hometown being compassionate and liberal. i live in a very liberal, accepting city and i love it.
ReplyDeletePerfect. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat flag flying is great. I saw on FB that the British Embassy in Paris came out in support of the pride march. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA full day! Stay happy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight!
ReplyDeleteWho would have ever thought? Wouldn't you love to be able to go back and tell the child you were that such a thing would happen?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it made the news in the UK, but trump, our hitler wannabe, has ordered our embassy and consulates abroad to not fly the pride flag. Thankfully some have defied him, and raised it next to the US flag.
ReplyDeleteIt made it to Facebook so it was seen in the UK. Your president really is a tosser, voted in by lots of tossers it seems.
Delete59 million of them. Boggles the mind.
DeleteWhat a lovely day in every way. Have fun catching up with dear friends.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to choose to do things that make you happy? Your trip home to Sheffield is one of these lovely choices. Have you stopped smiling yet? Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
A flag for the Royal visit. You must be so very proud of the honour Ma'am

Hope you're enjoying your busy day with friends, John :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the perfect getaway. I'm glad you are out and about and enjoying life, John!
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's not just a politically convenient gesture but a genuine expression of acceptance, it's excellent! Yes, I am a bit cynical, having dealt with our local municipal government.
ReplyDeleteLove Sheffield 'men of steel'
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a wonderful reclaimation yard at the site of the old Killamarsh Railway Station.
Carted a huge pitch pine pew back down the M1 many years ago.
Has the city changed much?
I'd love to visit 'op North again.

I hope are being loved and appreciated as you should be x
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the flags flying on so many important buildings and displayed in shops everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHooray for lovely days. I hope more of them are coming your way.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying your time and catching up with friends.
ReplyDeletenice pix; be proud!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good up there, John, and so do your happy days.
ReplyDeleteI spent the first night of my first honeymoon in March 1952 at The Grand Hotel in Sheffield John (that wasn't yesterday!) before going on up into the Yorkshire Moors for the rest of the week (Marsden, Meltham area)
ReplyDeleteWas not far from you that day! stayed in a hotel next door as our daughter back to Sheffield for her graduation - a proud day, we are from the Midlands but she loves Sheffield.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo looks like lovely weather there with just enough wind to see the flag flying, I'm glad I live in Canada not as stuffy and backward as the guy in charge across the border.
