      Meriden

      November 29, 2019 in England ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C

      We have moved to Birmingham where A dropped K off at the NEC Ibis hotel. It is the weekend of the Good Food show and K is joining her old school colleagues, Debi, Maria and Fran for a girlie weekend at the show. A set up on a site near Meriden and took the bus into Birmingham for a look at the city on Saturday.
      The city was buzzing and very busy with the Xmas market in full flow all along the main streets. The Bullring shopping centre was also rammed with people. I escaped the crowds and found the canal system and walked along the tow paths for a little while. - much more relaxing. The canals have been well maintained and in the centre of the city are surrounded by new housing developments, commercial buildings and offices, they are an integral part of the city centre.
      I liked the city centre which surprised me.
      K had an excellent time at the Good Food show. Lots of chatting, giggles and reminiscing and then a full day at the show sampling many different wines, gins etc and a huge variety of food! Great fun!!! The 4 of us have agreed that we will make this an annual event!
