Hi I'm not near Birmingham, but hope you have a good meet.

I'd just like to say that if you go to Pizza Express I can highly recommend the Caffe Reale as a desert to die for - Baby figs in a cinnamon and white wine spiced syrup with a dollop of mascarpone.

Hi all,

I finally managed to get in touch with the back-to-back houses and there has been a problem with the booking I had it pencilled in early December and the manager was meant to ring with the comfirmation. I spoke to them today they could not offer the whole group a tour together, but could offer tours for 6-8 people during the course of the day which we didn't want so ......................... onto plan b Birmingham has a wonderful tour bus which starts at around £10 per person they do a tour stop for a cuppa tour some more then lunch (not included in price) then they take you on to somewhere ie Aston Hall then bring you back to the city ~ perfect! except it doesn't start til April so maybe worth a summer meet!

The problem i have now is what do we do visit a museum ie thinktank or the art gallery, visit the records office or just find a nice pub when we can eat and have time for chatting ...................... any ideas at this point would be useful thanx Mel x
