The Nottingham Goose Fair! It was my first ever visit to a fair (pasar malams do not count) and it was just like what I had imagined it would be like: Food! Crowd! Rides! Toys! Geese! And lots of fun :D
We made a day trip out but not before we stop by The Grind Cafe (in Sheffield) for breakfast. I love their Belgian Waffles with Fruits, Honey and Yoghurt I had it for two consecutive days.
Shuffling back and forth between proper sunny Spring day and light hail, when the weather decided to turn up on the former option we went out to Weston Park to meet the ducks!
You remember Sheffield. I mentioned it previously where the city celebrated Easter with a cool rubber duck race on a lovely Spring day.
I guess I picked the right day to go for a stroll down to the City Centre. Sun was out. Look at those cherry blossoms against that blue background. Lovely sight here at Peace Gardens. I swear I didn't make it any more blue than it really was. It really was a beautiful day. I am glad I was around to witness Spring arriving. Just a week or so ago everyday was cold and even hailed lightly on some evenings.
Happy Easter Monday! Back home, Easter is a public holiday on a Friday but over here, the public holiday is on a Monday.
I was looking through Sheffield Culture Guide yesterday and came across The Great Sheffield Duck Race. Apparently it is an annual racing event. I had to witness it for myself! We arrived at Encliffe Park just before 2pm today and each spent £1 on a rubber duck. I didn't know how the race works and was expecting to be handed a duck and I can put it down Porter Brook myself but we were just told our duck numbers. We just settled at a spot near the finishing line and waited.
