I stayed in this airbnb in Sheffield as I was checking out the city university. The lady who was renting it out was possibly the most interesting middle aged woman I’ve ever met.I complimented her french press one morning, and she drove me into the countryside to the artists studio where she bought it. (She was wearing an apron that she’d sewn for herself the day before). On the way home she insisted we stop to hike on some cliffs where she named every plant we passed and pointed out different engravings in the rocks that were left from 100s of thousands of years ago. She told me a story about how Leonardo DiCaprio visited a specialty shoe shop in Northampton and ordered a custom made pair of shoes, that ended up being to small for him, and she has them now. (His names still etched inside them).In the mornings she made pancakes with an assortment of homemade jams, and later on in the day she would always offer me some of her homemade beer. -- source link
