A Brief Look at March 2022

March 2022

March 3rd A birthday treat at my favourite hotel Lucknam Park, Colerne near Bath

Fruit, flowers, chocs & Fizz! What more could I ask for?

Our first trip of the tear in Henry was to visit the Birmingham canal system – a trip down memory lane for Tony

Black Sabbath Bridge

The famous Gas Street Basin below

Who could resist such cakes? Fantastic icing work!

A very nice memorial to the last Harbour Master of Birmingham

Traffic island!

A smarter area close to the Lego shop!

More recent development

The Black Country Museum is well worth a visit but allow all day and visit the chip shop!

Tony was actively involved in canal restoration and worked on this tunnel, so we just had to take a trip

You can see the other end

A novel way to explain the ages of the rock layers

Lots of other Industrial bits & pieces to see

I loved this coach! Read the wording!

Lovely old kitchen

Note the price of wine & cake and schoolroom below

We visited the Thinktank museum

and an artist impression of the new HS2 Station

And then a visit to Wightwick Manor – a real gem!

A wonderful family portrait

The right to roam was supported by Sir Geoffrey Mander

The Manders made their money from varnish & paint

Exquisite rooms

Amusing bathroom!

And then there was the 147th birthday party on Sabrina

Exterior closed up and interior below

The Aldridges tuck in at lunchtime!

The cakes – one each!

The day included a tour of the cathedral and a trip on Jack’s electric boat

And the evening finished with dinner and drinks aboard Matilda
