I love the Christmas lights in Sheffield this year.

Especially the trees at the top of Fargate and in Leah’s Yard.

A picture from my run pitstop in Sheffield General Cemetery yesterday.

I think that’s the Royal Hallamshire Hospital peeking out from the foliage.

What a day at the Sheffield Half Marathon!
Our Concerteenies charity team has raised Β£6K+ so far.

Amazing support all the way round and it definitely felt extra busy this year.

Hillsborough Park looking glorious this afternoon.

You could feel the mood of the nation lifting by about 80 points.

Jet-setting great-great-grandmother Joyce Eileen Slater celebrates 100th birthday She’s travelled all over the world and loves a good social, but great-great grandmother Joyce Eileen Slater, 100, has only ever had eyes for Sheffield.

What a lovely 100th story - happy birthday to jet-setting Sheffielder Joyce!

I wonder how long 100th birthdays will still be news?

Very small! When I was diagnosed, there was also a BBC reporter who’d had an AC so much more common than you might think.

I also had an acoustic neuroma, which was removed at the Hallamshire, and have been deaf in one ear since.

What an amazing neurology department they have there - we are so lucky in Sheffield to have it.
