Birmingham City Centre. Staying Put.

A few pictures from the centre to prove we are here.


Hows this for attitude?






The Birmingham Bullring Bull in all its bad looking mood.




This statue must be the most photographed item around here, I had to rush to take this before another swarm of kids and parents with cameras descended on it.
His tail feet and nose are very highly polished from so much attention.







This is part of the "Flower Trail" leading to the Bullring shopping centre, this trail has all sorts of unusual things such as this Mini planted up.





Birmingham even has Its own beach complete with deck chairs, water fountain, bar, disco and an unlimited amount of advertising from Monarch Airways as they run it.
When I took this it was of course raining hence all the coats but when the sun came out it was packed, the kids even bring their own buckets and spades for the sand castles.




One very gaily painted trip boat, this one is an ex BW work boat with a few additions. The chap who runs this never looks left or right for a quick smile and wave as he passes by.
A tad embarrassed maybe?

We have moved to some 48hr moorings giving us until Thursday afternoon before we will have to move again.


This is a really great place to stop for a few days, so much to see and do and the people love Narrowboats, we have been photographed and filmed so much since we arrived, people have even got on the boat to be snapped from the bank.

Good news on the jury front, D now doesn't have to attend as it would cost the courts too much money to get her there. Thank goodness for that!!!



Until tomorrow...............................
