Leaving Birmingham

We ended up staying more than a week in Birmingham. A long time for us to stay in one place. Managed to catch up with several friends we hadn't seen in a while. So lots of lunch with wine. Nothing better than good food with good company. On Tuesday Barry, Leyann and Matt came to Birmingham. They are friends we made at Yelvertoft back in 2012 when Falcon was still in the marina and we were sorting out. Must be about a year since we last saw them, so good to catch up.
Next day we got the train to Leicester where Dave and Joan picked us up and took us back to their place for lunch and a lovely relaxing day catching up and having a laugh. Back in time Paul and Dave were flying buddies in Plymouth.
Thursday was a quieter day with some administration chores, filling with water etc.
Friday Miggy and Dave, who we also met first at Yelvertoft, came to Birmingham, so another lovely lunch! Think this week is diet week.
We stayed put over the weekend to be sure of TV so Paul could watch the Six Nations.
We eventually left yesterday having to break ice along the way. Currently we are moored at Oldbury very near to Sainsburys so off shopping soon. As you can see below once again we were traveling under the M5. Strange to see the original brick bridge under all  that concrete.
