A Day Out in Birmingham

So from Worcester the nearest major city would be Birmingham (home of Aston Villa and Birmingham City for the football fans amongst you).

It's about a 40 minute train journey and to start ourselves off for a long day out...of course we must have the Full English Breakfast!

This is for you HB!

Full English Breakfast

Then off down to Worcester Foregate Street to catch the train...in the rain of course, with grey skies - typical UK weather.

British Rail Tickets

The train are nice and smart though with plenty of room and are almost always on time!

I hardly took any pictures in Birmingham as it's not a very attractive city and it was raining and there's loads of dodgy people around....honestly I don't particularly like Birmingham.

Church in Birmingham

The New Bullring is quite a fantastic building though...especially on the sunny days with blue skies, which is what? Twice a year! Ha!

New Bullring

The outside is covered in 15,000 spun aluminium discs.

We wondered around, did some shopping, got some bargains at Primark of course and then headed back to Worcester when the shops started to close (5.30pm for the lose).

It's odd being a place where everything is not open to 10pm, oh well! More coming soon.
