parkrun: it's good to be back

Bears of Sheffield: #57 Beartanical

#57 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Vanessa Scott and is located in Graves Park. Beartantical was inspired by the artist's many adventures and relaxing days spent exploring the hills and woodland surrounding the city, and the afternoons she has spent gazing at the beautiful star shaped plants at the botanical gardens.

Brexit Bonus, Sainsbury's, Archer Road, Sheffield

Sainsbury's are doing their best to make it look as though the shelves aren't empty, but crisps and other potato products have been especially badly hit by supply chain problems in 2021. Apparently, a lot of our crisps come from Ireland. Yes, really, we can't even get crisps from Ireland when we were promised that everything would be better after Brexit.
