That's five half and half scarves I can spot just in this small section of the Man City supporters. The state of top flight football these days 🤦‍♂️ #MCILIV

There is this one road, hidden away between Grindleford and Hathersage in the #PeakDistrict, that I have to visit at least once each autumn, to see the colours. It was looking beautiful at lunchtime today 🍂

At noon on Wednesday, The Fargate opens its doors to the people of #Sheffield and visitors to the city. Sitting proud at the top of Fargate in one of the city's most iconic buildings, we cannot wait until our newest @thornbridge.bsky.social & Co site is open.

The camera does lie.

There were at least another 100 people at the summit of Helvellyn when we reached it on today's hike.

In such amazing weather, who can blame any of us.

It doesn't get much better (or warmer) than this, even in the summer!

A perfect day's hike up Helvellyn from Grasmere today.

When brewed, cellared, and dispensed properly, this is why cask beer is the best beer 👌

Up close and personal with Tim Booth tonight during a brilliant @wearejames.bsky.social set at Rock n Roll Circus at Don Valley Bowl in #Sheffield.

Interesting beer price list (I believe from a wholesaler of the time) dating back almost 50 years to 1976.

It's good to see some familiar names!

A little bit of Belgium coming back to the UK with me (via France), at a fraction of the price I'd have had to pay at home.

Just €2 at the E.Leclerc hypermarket for this classic Belgian beer.

Brewdog Wingman is more expensive 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody expects....to see Sir Michael Palin twice in two days!
July 5, 2025 at 11:17 AM
What a privilege it was to spend an hour and a half listening to one of my all-time heroes, Michael Palin, being interviewed by Greg James at Crossed Wires Festival at #Sheffield City Hall last night. Wonderful 😊
July 5, 2025 at 8:33 AM
@beesononbooze.bsky.social good interview on 5 Live just now, James. Well done getting your point across against Rachel's very one-sided viewpoint!

A perfect evening for a trail run along the Peak District's 'Dragon's Back'.

Dear @bbcmotd.bsky.social, I think David Moyes is happy enough managing Everton.
