West Midlands

Journeyed onto Stourbridge for our next night’s bed
Made up in a beautifully converted, Threshing Shed.
I caught up with my sister for a gluten free beer & pie
Such tasty simple pleasures causing a contented sigh.

The others visited a museum of Peaky Blinders fame
Gaining historic knowledge about the local iron chain.
Returning to enjoy what Sister Sue had just baked
A delicious, jammy and moist, Victoria sponge cake.

The area’s famous for it’s industrial iron & steel mills
Contrasting with the open expanse of the Clent Hills.
Miles of trails and even standing stones have a place
Happy to breathe in the air enjoying the green space.

Watched the cute funicular rail car in Bridgnorth
Then down steep cobblestone hills, we set forth.
Passing black & white homes covered in bight blooms
A rich cream tea devoured in a centuries old tea room.Read more
