We moved from Cambrian Wharf in Birmingham to the top end of the Stratford Canal today. On the way, in the Selly Oak/Bournville area, we passed what looked like a load of rubbish dumped in the cut.

Went for a fab curry at the Sweet Chillies this evening - our favourite curry house.

Just caught up with your festival posts, Halfie. It sounds as if you had a great, if noisy, time!So colourful!

Could do it as a supplement to the Church Directory!
