KIWI Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Just got back from a trip to dear old Sheffield,( the first for over five years ) to see some of my old haunts,but unfortunately l didn't get to see too many as l arrived Manchester with a suitcase full of water the day the floods arrived, and only just made it to Sheffield by road. l spent most of my four weeks there watching t.v about the floods, however though my holiday was to a certain extent spoiled, my heart went out to those Sheffielders and indeed to the rest of the flooded country. l was very proud of the way they worked together in the same way as they did during the war years to help and comfort each other. As for my trip, l stayed for four weeks in Sheffield with only three days without rain,but with four wonderful sisters over there, they made sure my visit was very enjoyable. Proud to be a Sheffielder. kiwi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, despite the weather. Having travelled New Zealand from Cape Reinga to Bluff (to say nothing of Stewart Island) I wouldn't blame any Kiwi for staying in Aotearoa at present, though the weather seems to be improving now that you're home! But it's nice to see family and friends, as I do about every two weeks when I return to Sheffield from rural Lincolnshire. I never did get to Milford Sound; must go back...
