A quickie

We've arrived in Birmingham; a 7.30 start, stop at Bridge 20 to visit Wedges, then steady plod into the centre. The Stratford got very shallow, enough to cause problems on a couple of tight bends, and the wind became quite gusty, especially as we were trying to make the turn at Kings Norton Junction.

We've tied just into the Oozells Street Loop, where Adam and Adrian tied Briar Rose the other day, and got in a shopping trip to Tesco. It's a very strange Tesco, but more of that another time.

After a cup of tea, we went and had a long natter with Nigel and Elizabeth, who have tied Kala (Braidbar 107) near the Mailbox. We've only just got back to the boat (6 pm) hence this quick posting, as I've yet to shower and cook tea.

More tomorrow, hopefully.

My brother in law and his family live in Birmingham. I rather like the city centre, but they don't half talk funny.
