Thanks Jennyann. it is the memories of how it was that fires me up to record just a little of Birmingham. :)

Aston, I can't paint landscape. I have just looked at your latest one and it's winter at the top of our lane. I can walk through it. O0

Ann Poppitt is probaby related somewhere to Brian, my husband. There were very few Poppitts in Birmingham, and mainly from gt grandfather Charles family of eight sons and a daughter, but we don't know her. Although Brian was born very close to Marsh Lane. :)
 
Di you really have a great talent with watercolours! They are lovely.
 
What a lovely picture and it's just how I remember the building looking when we used to pass it on the way to visit my daughter in London.
