Door to a subterranean reservoir  by Ringinglow Road Frequently, my walks involve jumping into Clint's cockpit and driving north, south, east or west before the walk can commence. I am always seeking the thrill of new territory and new photo opportunities. However, today was different. I left Clint in his resting place by our front bay window and set off from home. Along Gisborne Road to Dobbin Hill and then along Greystones Drive to Greystones Road before dropping down into The Porter Valley. Previously unnoticed house on Greystones Road Sheffield has five rivers which in past centuries were all important to the development of metal-related industries. They provided water power. The River Porter is really just a stream and it runs for little more than five miles into the city centre. Walking by The Porter up to the cafe at Forge Dam has become a required route for ramblers, families, cyclists and dog walkers. Everyone who lives in the S11 postal district is familiar...

Sam’s father (Paul Dano) is benign and...

 “ He has been with me for all of my life, so far, I’ve had no one as loyal or as long-standing in my life “  So did a patient describe her brother to me the other day.  It was a quote that lingered in my mind like a YouTube song  And is one that has a resonance for I got  the quote as soon as it left the patient’s mouth. I’ve mentioned it here on Going Gently a few times, that my childhood wasn’t a particularly happy one. Like many sixties and seventies kids , we were a product of our age…..emotionally absent parents but well looked after children, we had siblings and grandparents to nurture us, so we were the lucky ones. But inside our own four walls things were often somewhat sad. My patient shared a memory of her brother with me and told me of it’s significance. And over sixty years I  thought of what one memory I could share that summed up my sisters’ and me. I found one easily,  perched happily in a cerebral cul de sac of childhood mem...
