Also Rag parade, Boat Race, and Pyjama Jump, and other jolly occasions. Also Lord Mayors Parade with all the many business floats, Christmas lights, The big Sheffield Show, Fright Night, Bonfire nights in the big local parks, and cheap buses. Sheffield was a jolly place with a lot of community spirit. Do you think we'll ever get back to that? I had two old pictures of Carter Place, where I was born. One showed the busy "Little Hill" with fish monger, coal lorry and everybody out in the street gossiping with neighbors, and kids playing. Circa 1948. I lost it but somebody out there must have it. Then this one one, circa 1955 Notice the TV aerials? The telly changed your lives! Another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. There again, happiness could be as simple as a pint of Old Peculier! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slighty batty Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Such a lovely day today. Started as usual with my face nuzzled against my partners big hairy chest and his big strong arms around me. The sun was shining, had breakfast in the garden. A wonderful walk with my Nordic walking group, along a stream and through a nature reserve. Birdsong, flowers, baby frogs and bright blue dragonflies all over the place. Followed by a chat and a free cup of coffee at the local community centre. A friend was celebrating her birthday today so we met up in the next village for a drink. There was a free music concert going on in the market square, the perfect way to enjoy the evening sun together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
