Happy Valentineā€™s Day! Looking beyond the commercial side, Valentines Day is a day for celebrating love in all its forms. Whether thatā€™s love for a partner, or a family member, a close friend, or even a beloved pet, everyone has someone or something they love (I hope), and it should be celebrated šŸ’•

Love is in the air! šŸ’– So itā€™s only fitting we carry on our #ValentinesDayĀ tradition sharing Sheffieldā€™s iconic mural ā€˜The Snogā€™ by artist Pete Mckee on the side of Faganā€™s pub.šŸ’‹šŸ«¶ Great shot showing a recently repainted Frank & Joy, by @steelcitysnapper.bsky.social

Yesterday brought the amazing news that @streetartcities.bsky.social had undertaken a vote recount and had reclassified @peachzz.bsky.socialā€™s Sheffield mural ā€œReverieā€ in second place in their Best of 2024 global street art awards! šŸ† An incredible achievement for Peachzz & brilliant for Sheff too!

Congratulations to @peachzz.bsky.social, thatā€™s an amazing achievement šŸ‘

Sheffield, can I ask for your help please?! My good friend #Peachzz is nominated for a major global street art award and it would be wonderful if you could support her and vote for her please at the link below before the weekend šŸ™ streetartcities.com/awards/2024

Sheffield earlier this evening, cold but beautiful šŸ˜

So the @tramlines.bsky.social 2025 lineup has been officially revealed! It was teased on Saturday when these ten gorgeous bottles of Hendos were given out in selected businesses (including Annie Judeā€™s, pictured!), and posted to some lucky recipients! #Tramlines #Sheffield

Itā€™s been a really miserable day today, but there was a bit of brightness late morning as LNER Thompson Class B1 No. 61306 ā€œMayflowerā€ came through Sheffield with the Saphos Trains ā€œChristmas White Roseā€ train travelling from Barrow-In-Furness to York! #Sheffield

I got my very limited edition @tramlines.bsky.social bottle of Hendos this morning! And what a headliner it is šŸ¤© Thank you so much to my wonderful friend Faith for opening up Annie Judeā€™s a bit early so early-birds didnā€™t have to stand in the rain šŸ™Œ #Sheffield #Tramlines

Obligatory snow photos from my walk to work this morning ā›„ļø #Sheffield

Now that everyoneā€™s deserting X it seems I should put more effort in over here! Iā€™m going to keep my X account going for now as I still have a lot of followers interested in whatā€™s going on in Sheffield, but hopefully one day this account can replace it šŸ¤ž

Down at Fargate some old tram tracks, unused since 8th October 1960 when the tram network officially closed, have become exposed with the building work thatā€™s going on down there! Itā€™s great to see this bit of Sheffield history (temporarily) revealed again šŸ¤©

I love this new Sheffield Supertram rainbow livery that is ā€œbringing people togetherā€ šŸ™ŒšŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆšŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø It was looking gorgeous outside the Cutlers Hall yesterday šŸ˜

Sheffield station earlier this morning šŸ˜
