It looks like a nice little town, quite picturesque

Sounds like a good idea 🙂

I hear lots about Booth's. It's about time they ventured down south a bit - as far as the Midlands at any rate.

Yes, I love the dub version.

I've had Armagideon Time by The Clash rattling round my brain for the last week. Seems appropriate for the time we live in.

You've reminded me that I need to go to Waitrose,the only place I know that stocks Seville oranges. I thought in a city like Birmingham there'd be many places that did but strangely the small greengrocers in the village where I used to live had a better selection of fruit & veg than I can find here.

And, of course, it will take at least 5 years at a cost of millions.

June 2009, it was reported that Rosindell "claimed more than £125,000 in second home expenses for a flat in London, while designating his childhood home 17 miles away – where his mother lived – as his main address", and between "2006 and 2008 claimed the maximum £400 a month for food".

It's so interesting how the brain works - the instant I saw your photographs I smelt roses. Just for a millisecond, or even a nanosecond, but I definitely smelt roses.
