Thank you so much everyone. This has been an absolutely memorable birthday. We all went for a meal yesterday in the sunshine (sorry folks, yes it’s lovely and warm, a bit muggy but better than the bitter winds at home). After our meal we went to the Manatee Viewing Centre to stroke the Stingrays. Didn’t spot any manatees as it’s too warm.
And you don’t have to go far to meet Brummies - I met 4 there ! One worked for the Centre (and had previously worked for the energy works alongside it) He was from Weoley Castle. Also met a family there from Small Heath - visiting their Mum who now lives in Florida. Small world !
To all you Brummie Floridians, you’ve chosen a lovely place to live. My son who now lives in Florida says it’s the best.
Viv.
