A few snaps from the evening...

Here's a few obligatory snaps of the current snowy conditions in Sheffield...

A few dodgy phone snaps of this morning's snow in town.

A few even dodgier ones from my neighbourhood at about 7am.

I'll try and get some later in the dark with the Christmas lights

...and we're back!

Due to unforseen circumstances (I've not been to jail!) I had to take another break from SDP, but I will endeavour to try and get it back on it track.

Here's a few shots from the Peace Gardens this morning...

Bollywood Brass Band

The band playing in the Peace Gardens this afternoon.

I stumbled upon a great little event in town as I was walking home today. As I walked past the Peace Gardens it was awash with colour and music. There was an alternative brass band playing called the Bollywood Brass Band (that were fantastic), dancing, art and more. It was all part of the In My Shoes roadshow, an event that is put together to bring together all different walks of life from the city and to share their stories.

Cllr Paul Scriven, Leader of Sheffield City Council and Chair of Sheffield First Partnership said:

The more we understand each other, the harder it is to be intolerant and the easier it is to work together on the things we all care about.

I think it's a great idea, and you can join in at any time via the website, but also check out the other roadshows this week.

Peace before the storm

The Town Hall eclipsed by the Peace Garden perimeter waterfalls.

As another scorcher of a day was starting in Sheffield I was thinking that I'd take a picture of the Peace Gardens, but later on on my way home at about half 5. This way I could capture the mass hysteria that is the fountains, and all who play in them, surrounded by all the afternoon sunbathers on the lawns. As I looked to see what time it was on the Town Hall clock, I saw this view and decided to snap this as well.
I did walk past later as all the kids were playing and the non-kids were lounging, but I just preferred the view in the morning. Even though I walk passed it everyday when it's not busy, it just seemed even more peaceful this morning, knowing how hectic it would be later on.
