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.

(There’s a nice review here on Sheffieldblog.) I really liked the mix of photos, maps and descriptions. Much as […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 22nd, 2011 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Sheffield | Theatre. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)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 previous […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 29th, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Art | Films | Sheffield. 4 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)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 of […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 31st, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Food | Hendersons Relish | Sheffield. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)…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 my […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 24th, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: My Life | Sheffield. 3 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)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 camera […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 12th, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Films | Sheffield. Comments are closedA 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 Lions […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 14th, 2010 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: #uksnow | Crookes | Sheffield | Weather. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)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 he […] 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! - (Comments are closed)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 from […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 1st, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Rivelin Valley | Sheffield. Comments are closedStanding 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 famous […] |
