Last summer, Eleven, a local creative design studio produced a very nice little booklet and accompanying website called ‘Our Favourite Places’, a very personal guide to some of Sheffield’s restaurants, shops, bars, parks and so on. (There’s a nice review here on Sheffieldblog.) I really liked the mix of photos, maps and descriptions. Much [...]

Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 24th, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: My Life | Sheffield. 3 comments - more welcome!An unexpected treat tonight: walking through town we passed the Winter Gardens. Have they always been open so late? I’m sure they used to be bolted and barred from early evening. Anyway, in we went and discovered that we had the place to ourselves (I’m sure there was a security guard/City Centre Ambassador/CCTV [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 19th, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: France | Photoblogging. 4 comments - more welcome!
Sometimes I’m so glad that my camera is always in my pocket. This was taken at the Cite des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris. It’s just crying out for a caption isn’t it? Any [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 27th, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: B-Road Britain | Cheshire | Space. One comment so far - more welcome!Our trip around the highways and byways of Britain took us through Derbyshire, across the Pennines and into Cheshire. We passed through Smalltown, where I used to live, so we took a little detour to allow me to point out my old house to Mr TLC. It was rather strange to drive through [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 23rd, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Art | London | My Life. 2 comments - more welcome!Sneaky backpost #1 We’ve got it down to a ritual now: check in, dump suitcase, go and say hello to the river. (Yes, I’m afraid I do mean that literally.) Then off to a pub that is blessed with a Very Fine Location Indeed for a drink (that’s drink as in coffee btw, it [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 2nd, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Rivelin Valley | Sheffield. One comment so far - more welcome!The sound of water is always in the background as you walk along the valley. Sometimes its a quiet babble, at others its a crashing roar, but its never far away. It’s not hard to see why there was such a concentration of mills in this area. There are reminders that you aren’t far [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 1st, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Rivelin Valley | Sheffield. Leave a commentStanding and looking at the site of the former Mousehole Forge I was struck by how peaceful it was. These days it’s a private house, but when it was a working forge I suspect the noise would have drowned out the sound from the river. The site has a long history, but is most [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 31st, 2009 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Rivelin Valley | Sheffield. 2 comments - more welcome!Walking hasn’t happened for me this week. A combination of illness (first me, then Mr TLC going down with ye olde traditional Christmas holiday lurgy) and leaky boots (the only pair in which I can stay upright on slippy, icy surfaces) have conspired against me. So, as I sit here in my armchair, I [...] |
