We all have our regular routes we take to get to work, shopping, friends, etc. and I don't think we're conscious of all the little details that we notice as we walk. Your town has some lovely buildings, and a great variety of eating spots. I love the street art featuring the girl with the camera and her kitties.<br /><br />I think that you and Lloyd are certainly best pals now!

Excellent look, and on you especially.<br />I'm always envious of your part of the world, and I love to see the pictures you send. I'm always sad that we have so little in the way of ethnic diversity, especially the cuisines ... but tomorrow I get to go to a new Indian restaurant in the Big City ( and like you say, " in Town" ). We have one other that I know of but it's complete crap. I've heard the right things about this one, though, and am all enthused! <br />I'll let you know how it goes.<br />The children remain adorable.

I love the look of The White Lion and the old train station, in fact, I really fancy exploring Sheffield, I've heard so much about it and you've highlighted so many of its beauty spots with your thoughtful, inspiring photos.

Having said that, i think i bought my bed in that antiques centre that was a bank. Q's brother and sister in law used to live on Glen Rd, just off Abbeydale, and it was just round the corner from them. It's good to be happy where you are and you chose a good spot. Fancy being able to walk into town in 15 minutes, that's perfect. So Simon can walk to work every day! Great planning. Look at all those restaurants and look at you and Nina. What a pair of beauties. Love that fab frock on you. Hope to see you in real life soon for a bit of mooching!

Thank you for taking us on such a lovely walk. This could be one of my most favorite posts ever! I adore Sheffield from your eyes, it seems to have a bit of everything. The Victorian buildings are erie and enticing and the wildlife connecting it all so many sights to see. <br />I'm terribly envious that you can walk to all of this. We live out in the suburbs so the only thing we can walk to our unappealing chains....for both food and clothes. I hope our next neighborhood will have bars and restaurants I like and a farmers market all within walking distance but for now I am happy with my space, privacy and kick ass view of the moon:)<br />Love this dress on you, I think the colors are so fresh, but the smug look on your face is by far my fav.

That is such a great quality to have and we really cannot bare people for whom the glass is permanently half empty.<br /><br />We enjoyed our trip down London Road and think we should love to be lost in the aisles of Ozman for an hour or so. We sometimes miss the diversity offered by cities such as Sheffield, something we appreciated in London, since it really does spice up life in so many different ways.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-75715996123030613722014-08-11T00:13:54.261-07:002014-08-11T00:13:54.261-07:00love your pucci style frock!!!!
