Theresa Peltier, Deputy Lieutenant Celebrating International “Women's Day”
Adversity and disadvantage shaped Theresa, overcoming unimaginable horrors in her early life. But just look at her now. Inspirational, darlings. We were spell bound, an excellent insight into her work and personal triumph.
Big Bus Adventure with Jane
“The wheels on the bus go round and round”, until our third bus journey, Number 52. Then, metaphorically, “they fell off”. A fracas erupted as we got on, voices became louder and more raucous, children were distressed, one in tears. Passengers were standing up and shouting advice, whilst accusations and denials echoed down the bus. “Call the Police” and “I'm calling the police” repeated with growing intensity. We sought sanctuary on the back seats. The bus set off and the animated protagonists had to sit down. The drama subsided until the next bus stop, when the rumbling row resumed. We never knew the cause or the outcome because we had to get off at Weston Park. If I'd been by myself I'd have stayed on the bus to find out. Into the McKee Exhibition, where old Sheffield memories came flooding back. Nostalgia for our youth, followed by a delicious Weston Park Shrove Tuesday pancake filled with blueberries and caramelised banana, smothered in syrup. I'm lunching there next Shrove Tuesday, February 17th 2026, no matter what the exhibition! I doubt I'll be alone.
Lunch Club at Chesters With Sue Priestnall
I took Lorna (our President) in my pickup truck. I love my truck but I'm not sure Lorna took to it. Discovering the seats were not heated, nor electrically adjustable, was a bit of a shock for her and I quickly discerned her anxiety with the absence of Sat Nav and, finally, her dismay discovering there were no cameras to use when reversing into Chesters car park! I think it was a valuable experience for her but I'm not sure she'd agree. We did agree that lunch was really good and a fun outing but she wants to go in her car next time!
