6.30. I'm having my tea with my parents. Mobile goes. It's Marion - "What are you doing ringing me on a Saturday?" "What are you doing tonight? I've got free tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys at the Leadmill. Do you want to come?" Do I ever. Watch Doctor Who: "Daleks in Manhatten". Possibly…

As of today I’ve got two weeks to get my sorry backside into gear and sort out pretty much everything for going away. I finished work last Friday; a strange feeling after three and a half years of seeing the same people for 7 hours a day.  We went out after work - it went a bit like…

So woke up really uncomfortably and both my arms had pins and needles as I was squished against the wall. We got to properly meet Craig’s mom and she was sooo nice!! And we had a few laughs about the night before and what not. Craig’s parents then made breakfast for everyone and we had a proper…

After we were freezing on the coach for 4 hours, we finally arrived at Sheffield Meadowhall Interchange. Nora sent us a txt, that they (she and her boyfriend, Guram) are running late, coz the road conditions suck. I was looking forward to see her again and i was happy that we can spend more time to…

Got into Sheffield, and our Canadian tourist started snapping, as it’s the third UK city she’d now been to. Haha!   We then went to The Globe for drinks and to watch the Man U match. We ended up playing pool through the whole match. And it was here that everyone decided they would start …

A final morning spent shopping was about all we could muster up on the last day.   The weather wasn't too bad so we wandered about the town centre looking for a few souvenirs.  Having taken a bit of a shine to the lad Strewwelpeter I was hoping to get some postcards of him and his …

They're finally getting hitched all the way over in Eltville which is just outside Frankfurt where Rebecca and Lloyd live.  This means that most of the family is going on one big massive group holiday to take in the event.  I can almost hear the arguments starting already.... We've been …

And so back to Sheffield.   The train journey wasn't quite as good as the one up, mainly because it was quite a bit busier which is never a good thing.   Also it seemed to take half an hour longer to make the return trip than it did the outbound journey for some reason.  Ok there…

So it’s the morning after the night before.  As usual I seem to be the only one who can handle my booze and I’m up bright and early (well before ten o’clock at least) and leaving everyone else to battle with their hang-overs I popped round to the café for a major fry up, despite it’s …

Manchester Airport. Immigration. Baggage reclaim. Station. Long stay carpark. Drive home. Sheffield. Home.

TBer Kat_Mac27 comes to spend some time in Chesterfield and London (where we should have set off for by now!)

Ok, so it's not 'technically' a travel blog but I thought I'd upload some pictures taken recently around my home county of Yorkshire.

A few pictures from around Sheffield

No matter what anyone says or which movies you watch, Sheffield isn't nearly as bad as they claim! I found it to be quite pretty with rolling green hills in the distance and a really nice city center, with lots of fabulous shops, which being a girl I really appreciated! My first afternoon in Shef…

We set off earliy after packing up the car. Five of us in a regular sized car which would have seated five comfotablely if there was not a baby seat in the car as well. We rounded the M25 well and stopped at the service station on the M1 for a pit stop. A few hours later we rolled into Sheffield to…
