29 and still counting

Our Anniversary on Sunday and the Sheffield sun came out at last!  Undeterred by a manic Saturday, off we set again . . .

Breakfast at Whirlow Farm Cafe
 young as ever . . .
 and some goodies for our new herb garden

then on to John Street for "Inside the Triangle"








Harland Works, Stag Works and Portand Works all open for the day.






So, its Portland Works first stop, where the first stainless steel knives were made 100 years ago, for their fascinating tour:
 and up onto the roof
with a peek at the other Blades
 and I got a bit of a thing for the amazing brickwork

Over the wall to Stag Works


then the march of the mods

















before a final coffee at Nicols cafe on the way home - sun still shining and warm at last!

And more to come in June - the legendary Sheffield Doc Fest at our wonderful Showroom Cinema and the Sheffield Poetry Festival and the colourful Children's Festival - at which point I have to include:





Blast from the past!!
