Sheffield

Jen and I spent a few days in Sheffield in November, travelling there by train. We enjoyed a top Italian meal with local in-laws on Bonfire Night, followed by sparklers outside the Crucible theatre; visited museums and art galleries; took a long walk out to the Antiques Quarter; bought and abandoned undrinkable cups of tea in the Winter Gardens; had our first ever Ethiopian meal at the Cambridge Street Collective; admired more knives and cutlery than we could shake sticks at; paid our respects at a cholera memorial (what’s not to like?); and witnessed the biggest working steam engine in Europe strutting its stuff.

Sheffield is a cool city. UTB!
