Leave a commentLast night’s Sharrow Lantern Carnival was a magical evening. The lanterns were created by local people in a series of workshops during February and March leading up to the big event. Everyone gathered at Mount Pleasant Park and waited for the Sheffield Samba Band to lead the procession. Sharrow Lantern Carnival 2012 – [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 17th, 2012 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Art | Sheffield. 2 comments - more welcome!We headed off for a short walk into town to buy some socks for Mr TLC. We were hoping to spot some of John Dowswell’s socks on the way, but we were out of luck. Better luck on the avian front though, with plenty of magpies on show. I rather like the zip fastener [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: April 5th, 2011 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Sheffield | video | Yorkshire | Youtube. One comment so far - more welcome!I would like to dedicate this post to Oliver Letwin MP, who is putting in a strong performance in his bid for the title of Least Popular Man in Sheffield. Allegedly.
Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 23rd, 2011 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: My Favourite Places | Sheffield. 2 comments - more welcome!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: February 22nd, 2011 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Sheffield | Theatre. One comment so far - more welcome!Things I am not good at: reviewing plays. I offer as evidence the fact that this is my fourth (or is it fifth?) attempt to write a simple post. Could. Do. Better. Cancel the review then, I’ll simply tell you that Sheffield Theatre’s David Hare season is highly recommended. Having managed to miss [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 29th, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Art | Films | Sheffield. 4 comments - more welcome!Can you tell what it is yet? With all the riches on offer during the recent Sheffield Doc/Fest, I could happily have moved into the Showroom Cinema for the duration, but alas, time and deadlines were against me, so I had to choose. My choice proved to be a popular one. The promised appearance [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 31st, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Food | Hendersons Relish | Sheffield. 2 comments - more welcome!…Henderson’s Relish! It is now officially the Vegetarian Society’s Best Store Cupboard Ingredient Winner. Quite right too. “Everyone should have this gem in the cupboard, a Worcestershire style sauce without the anchovies, perfect to add to almost any savoury dish.” It may have been better if I hadn’t mentioned to Mr TLC that [...] 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: June 12th, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Films | Sheffield. Leave a commentA comedy about a motley crew of wannabe jihadists – it doesn’t sound promising does it? But I’d heard good things about it and besides, it was mostly filmed in Sheffield and I’m always up for a bit of location-spotting. Last night we finally set off to see Chris Morris’ debut feature film, Four [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 14th, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: #uksnow | Crookes | Sheffield | Weather. 2 comments - more welcome!The first time I spotted her, she was very curvaceous, but noticeably lacking something. I idly wondered if my neighbour was sculpting Ann Boleyn, but then I spotted him making the snowball that was destined to become her head. Her consort appeared the next day. Not sure who added the cigarette, but I think [...] |
