It just keeps snowing, and snowing, and snowing!

Snow!

 
In front of the Sheffield Train Station--got a good inch or so of snow all around. Today, a high of minus 4 Celsius!

Sheffield Hallam University Graduation

 
Here I am with Provost Johnson at the recent Sheffield Hallam University graduation ceremony. It was really a thrill to be part of the processional, sit on the platform and observe the graduates and the audience.

University of Bradford

 

Here is the university where I facilitated two workshops. Our room was in an adjascent Victorian-era mansion, a UK version of Tara with an amazing sweeping staircase, stained glass windows, cove ceilings with Roccoco details.

Leeds' Christmas Market

 


German-style Christmas market in Leeds' city centre. I bought roasted chestnuts.

The Mexican Entry

 

The street fair had this cart to represent a little bit of home flavour!

LOL--Churros are French, now?

Just a few bikes

 

Yes, many people use bicycles to get around--the other bike lot was just as full!

Cambridge Street

 

The Round Church

 

Cambridge is lovely.

No takers in the rain!

King Edward VII school

 

I went to give a professional development seminar at this secondary school--it is undergoing some construction at the moment.

Wilem and Me

 

Here we are--my son Wilem will be 15 in just a few days. He is so thrilled to be here, LOL. Seriously, he has made some friends, and he has been enjoying some good food.

Manchester Piccadilly Station

 

Manchester Train Station

 

Here is the train station in Manchester. It is near the airport also. It is possible to live in the UK and not have a car since the public transportation system is easy to use and fairly reliable. Petrol-gas--is sold by the liter and it is expensive.
