After visiting Hight St Digbeth yesterday, I was having a look around the area and I was very pleased to see The Anchor Pub on Rea Street. Any details? I'd love to learn about this building.

Great pics everyone. Just watering for me today. I did contemplate getting the jet wash out, but I changed my mind!

Another Edward VII post box today in Stirchley, Birmingham.

My bedding plants are still doing well. Hydrangea's are fading now. Pearl and Ruby are enjoying a spot of lunch, unfortunately no sunbathing as we haven't any sun!

I have varigated Holly this year, never had Holly before. It looks lovely tbh, looks good in its pot, mixed in with the bedding plant pots.

I try to keep lots of evergreens in the pots. Just the green in the winter looks good, better than nothing.

The winter jasmine looks nice. Yes the weather hasn't been great lately. Just watering and tidying for me today.

Yes, I just cut the worst off. I've moved it where it's got some shelter.

Hmmm, I've trimmed a few 'crispy' leaves from my acer today too. Watering and tidying, deadheading for me today. I'm finding there's not a lot to do now until I take out the bedding plants, which will hopefully be a little while yet.

You had said he's not your cat Jan.

Oh that's a shame Jan, but at least you are getting pleasure from the sunflower now it's in a vase. Nice pic of the cat, he seems to like keeping you company. Just watering for me today. I re-potted a house plant, rubber plant.

Goodness, you have all been busy!!!!! Lovely pics. I'm a little bit concerned about Jan 'teetering' on her tallest steps to tie up the sunflower. And hearing that Viv has fallen off the raised beds!!!! Just tidying and watering has been going on in my garden! The Bush magnolia has taken to its...

The weather was a bit hot to be standing looking at the stones. We did walk all the way round and we went into the church and left a donation. There were some very old stones there. Thanks for the Royston cave link. My partner is from Hertfordshire and he recognises the place names in the...

Alfred Payne, the rector, as the headstone, had a twin brother Arthur. The graduated from Oxford and played cricket. Kind of spooky as my partner's name is Payne, plus he has just become great grandfather to twin boys and he has a grandson called Alfie. I was hoping to find a pic of Alfred, but...

Visited St Mary's Church today. Very interesting.

Always loads of London programmes, great one on Covent garden. But I wish they'd make more programmes about Birmingham, it is the second city after all.

That's great, I'll have a look. Thank you.

There are some great programmes on TV, history wise, I wish there were more on Midlands history. Does anyone watch anything on you tube? I know some people watch you tube and some people make multiple video's.

It just makes a place feel so good to me when these old buildings survive, old meets new and it feels complete. Looking at Hight St, Digbeth last week was pleasing in the way that there were old buildings that are still there. The new footpaths and the plants in front of the Old Crown really...

That's so sad that it was demolished, hope you are not too sad Lyn.
