Sheffield


I’ve got up early today and after a tepid bath ( the log burner wasn’t on long enough to heat the water properly) I walked the dogs , had my weight watcher’s breakfast of eggs on dry toast and am just about to drive to Sheffield after I finish my bucket of coffee.
I’ve just bought a twenty quid ticket for Come From Away when I’m next in London, there are bargains galore to be had if you look….

The cottage is tidy for dog sitter Ruth’s arrival 
Ive changed sheets, cut flowers for every room including the living room bookcase and her treats are in the fridge all ready, but all I can really think of is the thrill of meeting up with old friends after  so long.


Flowers on the bookcase
It’s a lovely day today,
I feel brighter after my night shifts
Off in Bluebell now, heading East over the Pennines 
To my home town

  9. Sheffield is the name of the street I live on. When ever I see that word it reminds me of home.

  12. Have fun! The "bathing man" art -- is it by the same artist who did the "man putting on t-shirt" on your sidebar, by any chance?

  13. Have a fabulous time. Eldest daughter was hoping to get back there to her friends this weekend, when one is marrying, but sadly has been quarantining after her boyfriend caught Covid and it's looking dubious now due to timing of it all.

    Oh, happy day! Have a joyful time with your dear friends. Safe journeys there and back home.
    You've certainly made the cottage welcoming for Ruth!

    Hugs!

  16. Be careful if you go down the alleyway next to "All Bar One". A burly mugger in a Yorkshire Pudding T-shirt may be loitering there with a cudgel.

  19. If the weather forecast is correct, we will all be having cold baths (or showers) by Sunday. But just right for sitting outside cafes with friends!

  26. As I said on FB, We saw " Come from Away" in London a few years ago and it was one of the most amazing and moving shows we have ever been to.
