I studied English and Modern Languages to understand the words of my favourite artists and ended up in Sheffield as part of my university studies. South Yorkshire was a wonderful shock to the system: the "You alright love?", "Ay up sweetheart", the amazing countryside, the freedom to be who you are without being judged and most importantly - the people. Nowhere else have I come across such welcoming and kind people. My bus journeys are always full of nattering, I never feel like I am bothering someone by asking for the time or smiling!
If you are lost, do not be surprised if people not only explain in great detail how to get to your destination but often they will offer you a lift! People often ask me, why have you left France, the food, the climate, and the glamour for Sheffield? Well come and spend time here and you too will feel part of it.
