Marvelous Midlands

You may have noticed that I've been absent for a few days. We returned yesterday from a sojourn to the Midlands. The above picture is of the Bull Ring Selfridges Building in Birmingham - not mid century but pretty cool all the same.

We also popped into Worcester, which was a surprise hit - a very lovely city filled with Tudor buildings and friendly people. We weren't so impressed with our planned destination, Stratford-upon-Avon (of Shakespeare fame) but I found the area around Anne Hathaway's cottage quite picturesque:

And I did think this plaque outside the Shakespeare Centre Library (just up from Shakespeare's house) was quite cool:

It was a great little break and at the end of it all, my generous mother-in-law gave me this Jersey Pottery piece after I mentioned that I liked the pattern. It's a posy holder or pomander but seems to be quite rare in this green colour.
