Welcome to Sheffield

A busy Friday morning in Fargate and a trip, for me, to M&S to buy lunch and then take it back to the hospital where I'd left Ann waiting for her treatment.  I'd dropped her off just before 10am when the queue to get into the car-park was spilling out onto the main road.  At the moment the road outside the hospital seems constantly to be streaming with cars and the pavements streaming with all the new students that are starting their courses at the University.  The town centre was also full of new students finding their way around the city.  I had quite a productive morning photography wise - I was attracted by the white building here shining in the sunshine, then at Barker's Pool there was one of the big yellow US school buses parked up that was advertising Sheffield University as `The Mobile University' and then down in Devonshire Green there were bright orange deckchairs arranged in a semi-circle, which picked up the orange autumn colour in the trees and the colour on the student flats beautifully.

By the time I got back to the hospital with the sandwiches the traffic queue was still spilling outside onto the road, so I parked in a council car-park a little further up the road and walked back down.  Our M&S lunch was the envy of the staff and our neighbours in the chemo ward.  (The hospital sandwiches are pretty dire!)
