Barking Up The Wrong TreeWe got to Sheffield on Friday afternoon, via the St. Pancras champagne bar, and checked in to the the Ibis [cheap!] before heading out for a walk to excellent Nonna's.

Prosecco, bread and olives, pancetta and potato ravioli with baked cabbage in poppy seed butter, cauliflower soup and garlic pesto, Italian sausage rigatoni, risotto with watercress, spinach, nutmeg and mascarpone with a bottle of red. Followed by 5 cheeses [with excellent parmesan crisps] and three ports. All brilliant and only £75.00!

The centre of Sheffield looks like a huge building site at the moment but I suspect it's going to be a top place to visit in a few years time if the area around the Station, Hallam University, the Millennium Galleries and the Peace Garden.

The Millennium Galleries is where the On The Map exhibit is on. Disappointingly, what I'd already seen online was all that was there and we were round the whole thing in 15 minutes. I was hoping there would be a lot more. I liked what I saw but it was a bit of a way to go for such a small exhibit... although seeing the Stefanie Posavec works in the "flesh" was worth the journey, even if they were only pinned to the wall, necessitating a rope to keep you from touching them and consequently not being able to read the small print. I really hope she gets those Rhythm Textures published soon. Still, I had a little look around the Metalwork Gallery next door which was interesting and I found out a bit about Ookl.
