00:00Thank you, it's Alistair from Sheffield Star and we're out here today asking people what's the best thing to do with a hot day in Sheffield, like this one, it's currently 27 degrees out.
00:08What are your plans for the day?
00:09We're going to Cosmos, and we're going to probably go and sit in a beer garden and have a cocktail.
00:18Maybe like Leopold Square, you know like all the pretty bars and all the nice flowers and stuff.
00:23If they've got any music on it's very nice, we just want to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
00:29Pelham Island is really good as well, there's like a place there that I know.
00:35Church Temple comes really nice, it's a vegan restaurant and they do amazing stuff there.
00:42When a hot day comes along is it easy to make a plan or do you just head out the door and see what happens?
00:47I mean we're pretty spontaneous.
00:50Last night we started making a plan, we were going to go to the outdoor pool and then we couldn't get in.
00:54So we were like, oh we'll just go to Sheffield and have some cocktails and so.
00:58We don't know where the sun's at the moment but hopefully it'll come back out.
01:02It's still really warm though, it's boiling.
01:05Yeah it's boiling, I mean off the back of last week when it was cold,
01:08no one was complaining about that, we just flipped 180 degrees, so good times.
01:12Stay cool, I mean we're sat in the peace gardens right now, the fountains are around and we're just enjoying some food and a cold drink.
01:20This is probably the perfect place to be.
01:23Great place to be, I come down here for these videos each week, it's always bustling like that, especially summer time.
01:28Come a weekend I suppose, would you go any further away or any other parks in town?
01:32Sometimes, go to the food district if it's not so far away, go on a nice walk.
01:37Northwick Heritage Park as well, more Sherbrooke Valleys are nice.
01:41Yeah.
01:42Ooh, and Damplatz.
01:44Damplatz, that's a lovely walk.
01:46Always places to be.
01:49Yeah.
