Brum

Tuesday, 3rd October

Took over an hour to get to the City centre owing to roadworks and an accident along the Bristol Road. In the end we had to change buses twice and turn off onto a different route (thank goodness I've brought a book).

Met my Mom and Auntie Irene, my late Grandmother's only remaining sister in the cafe at Debenhams and had coffee.Mom showed me how to get to the Central Library and left me to my research of the Lickey Hills at the turn of the century.

Got back to hotel before dark and did a quick climb up Rednal Hill before returning to pub for meal.
