Today I get to say my three favourite words: I Was Right! I got whisked away for a very romantic weekend in the Brindleyplace canal area of B'ham. And, wow, what an amazing weekend I had. Saturday night I was treated to a (very late) dinner at the gorgeous Bank restaurant near, followed by a walk to the bridge overlooking the canal. But yin and yang, I broke my camera, which I've only had 2 months, so these pics are taken using my blackberry. A combination of that and too much wine, and hello blurry-ness...
The next day was Chinese New Year. We walked along the canal into the city in the morning, had a few hours shopping before heading to see the celebrations in the early afternoon. I'd been looking forward to the 2pm Dragon Dance on Poles and Kung Fu Demonstrations, but it was so packed we could hardly get near it. The atmosphere was amazing - there were stalls, children dancing, acrobatic performances, people on stilts. But we left after an hour to carry on shopping, and I bought myself an amazing pair of knee-high boots, perfect for a miserable day like today.
