SHE SAID:

We headed back to Birmingham today, the Third Ashes Test starts tomorrow.

The journey was fine with the usual English road bedlam...no journey is complete without a jam, accident or diversion!

Once we dropped our stuff off at the BnB we continued on to Wolverhampton, where we were meeting up with Steve Tabner later in the day & going to a Wolverhampton Wanderers V Aston Villa football friendly at the Wolves ground. We had a couple of hours at a National Trust house called Wightwyck Manor before they knocked off work, which is close to Steve & Jo's place.

The Wolves game was good & ended up being a 2-2 draw. Geoff & I caught the train back to Birmingham & then a taxi as we couldn't find the right bus to the BnB.

Wightwyck Manor -Wolverhampton


A "fake" Tudor house, but lovely non the less


YES...That is sunshine, rare & brief!


HE SAID:

It was quite a long day for us, with a 9am departure from Horsham, a four hour drive to Birmingham, a few hours touring the old house, then the Wolves match. We were in bed by midnight, tired but happy.
