Friday 31st July 2015

SHE SAID:

Geoff came into the city today, he kept checking the cricket score in hopes of a huge Aussie upset, but it was he that ended up being upset I think!

We had a look around the Birmingham Library, quite a building, with an outside garden terrace, one of the largest collections of Shakespeare works in the world & a café.

Then we spent a quiet hour on the Birmingham canals. Larger than the Venice canal system apparently, though not nearly as scenic!

Back at the BnB we relaxed the rest of the day away.

WT.....!?!

Centenary Square, the War Memorial & the Library

Like Port Macquaire & it's Koalas, Birmingham has brightly coloured owls all over the place,
painted by well known people, raising money for charity

The Secret Garden in the Birmingham Library

Cruising one of Birmingham's canals - a
quiet way to travel

One of the many canal-side pubs



Owl-Talk
HE SAID:

The Birmingham canal cruise was not very scenic, giving me many opportunities to check the cricket scores. I had my hopes up until we were all out just before lunch. After that it was just a question of when England would win; we did not have enough runs to defend.
