A leisurely start is needed today but I get on the road before lunch. I am heading for Lichfield. After a break at the Warwick service (fruit toast; yum!) I notice a 'noise'. I put this down to paranoia and struggle through the heavy traffic on the M42 then narrowly avoid the M6 toll. Soon M is reviving me with a cup of tea.
It's unseasonably cold but we head off to town for a walk and to hunt for presents for the kids.
There are houses where the 'Vic' used to be. Memories of Wednesday evening 'Family Planning' clinics. We changed the name to 'Contraception and Sexual Health' but it took a while to catch on. Fortunately these words now slip off the tongues of my daughter and her friends.
Fortunately the Tudor Cafe is one thing that is still standing.
A Belgian bar has opened up next to The Whippet, the micro pub. A groovy corner of town.
I'm on the ginger tea as I need to take the car for a spin with R so he can diagnose the noise.
Here is M upstairs. It's a cosy place and I look forward to returning soon for beers.
