Chinese New Year Celebrations

Chinese New Year celebrations took place in London last weekend and I'm sharing some of my daughter's photos as well as some others of my own from last Sunday when I was in Sheffield city centre for a morning church service and happened on a Chinese group parading through the streets on our way back to the car park.








As well as the parades, street dancing, music and stalls selling food there were special stage performances around the Trafalgar Square area.


Below Sunday morning in Sheffield.



The group had passed before I could get out my camera to take photos so I only got some back views. 'The Lion' was extremely lively and nimbly climbed up and down steps and along the edge of one of the raised pools outside the City Hall in the piazza called Barker's Pool!

Other entertainment was going on in Barker's Pool!  It wasn't my 'cup of tea' .........


so I'll leave you with some of the plants and flowers in the Winter Garden when I was in the city yesterday doing some shopping.  I was glad to spend some time in there on a very cold day.
