I arrived from the USA in 1993 when I got married; in 1994, Jo and I moved to Sheffield. We've lived in the same place most of the time since then. One thing that still seems strange to me, although I'm used to it, is the way people sometimes talk the city down --- they say things like ‘Why would you want to live here?’ I guess they don't notice all the things I appreciate here.

I've always enjoyed the parks, Henderson's Relish, the libraries and museums, and the ethnic grocery stores. I've also come to appreciate the great things for children to do since our son was born, the University of Sheffield (where I've been working for 10 years), the cathedral, and more recently the geocaching opportunities. One famous aspect of Sheffield that I don't really appreciate is football; I’ve come to enjoy cricket, though.
