Tuesday Blue Challenge, and the Meet.

Having failed miserably to get out to take one shot for the one shot challenge last week, I was determined to take some Blue pictures this week. I went for a walk on Thursday during my lunch break and wandered through my old college, where I stumbled across this view with some stunning blue sky:










On to Saturday, when Sam and I headed to Birmingham to meet with some chatroom chums. We had spent Friday night in a Holiday Inn Express in Northamptonshire so didn't have too far to drive on Saturday morning. We parked at a station outside Birmingham and got the train in to New Street, then had a little mooch around the shops.
We found the Bull outside the Bullring:













and then pausing at Primark to buy some stripey socks we headed off to the pub. It was a glorious day so we sat outside. In the very lengthy wait for our food, we chatted about one-hit wonders, songs with numbers in the title, songs where artist and title are the same, and the new design on British coins:













we've finally collected one of each.

A good time was had by all, even though our food took forever to arrive and wasn't the most inspiring cuisine. Hutters made a friend in the manuel-esque waiter who cleared our table. Then we went geocaching, and then Max showed us the way back to New Street so we could head home.
