Last January, on our annual jaunt to London, we were sitting in the pub that we like to refer to as our London local, enjoying a beer and the amazing view of the river and St Paul’s, when I had a slightly worrying thought. We had […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 20th, 2014 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Crookes | data | Sheffield | UK. Comments are closedFound them on the 2011 census website we did. The 2011 census data site is a bit of an internet rabbit hole. Having started browsing I spent a surprisingly long time discovering data about the area where I live. I thought the religion section was particularly interesting. There were religions I had never even […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 16th, 2014 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Crookesmoor | local traders | Sheffield. Comments are closedOnce upon a time, when I first lived in Sheffield, my housemates and I were fairly regular customers at Beanies Wholefoods. Officially described as a wholefoods cooperative, it sells a wide variety of vegetarian foods and greengrocery and is an Aladdin’s cave for lovers of good food. Despite only living a short distance away, I […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 15th, 2014 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Food | My Favourite Places | My Life | Sheffield | Showroom Cinema. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)I have never mastered the art of folding and rolling needed to create layered pastry, so I decided that it was time to do something about that. When I spotted the Showroom Cinema’s Pastries in a Day course, I jumped at the chance. The fee of £39.95 is really good value, considering that it […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 7th, 2014 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Botanical Gardens | Garden Up | gardening | My Life | Sheffield. Comments are closedIt’s a long time since I’ve been to a garden show, but I was intrigued by the sound of Sheffield’s brand new Garden Up event. Held in the beautiful surroundings of the Botanical Gardens and full of interesting things, it proved to be well worth a visit. There were a few show gardens, some highly […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 23rd, 2013 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Sheffield. 4 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)How do I know that Mr TLC and I are geeks? Because when we first saw this building being constructed we said “Ooh look, it’s a Borg Cube!” Obviously we followed that up with “ We are the Borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Your technological and biological distinctiveness will be added to […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 22nd, 2013 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Crookes | Photoblogging | Sheffield.

I’ve always liked topiary but I haven’t visited this one for a while. Yesterday we took a detour to see whether my favourite hedge monster was still in residence. As you can see, it was still there – and sporting a rather splendid bouffant hairdo. I wonder what that will be once it’s […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2012 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Grenoside | Mr TLC | My Life | Sheffield. Comments are closedPicture the scene: a real ale pub on the night that a convention/festival of morris dancers was in town. Those of us who thought we had the night off had received frantic phone calls and emergency taxis to get us to work. It was quite busy. Actually, it was insane, but in a cheerily joyous […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: April 2nd, 2012 Posted in: Life | The Universe Tags for this post: Carnival | Lantern | Sharrow | Sheffield. Comments are closedLast 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 – Scenes […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 17th, 2012 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Art | Sheffield. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)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 on […] |
