Sunday 2nd June.
We woke to a dull and overcast day.
While having breakfast the weather changed yet again and it started to rain but it just looked like showers.
We had arranged to spend the day with Ray so having picked him up from Halesowen we drove back
into Edgebaston to visit the botanic garden of the University of Birmingham, Winterbourne Botanic Garden. It was quiet when we arrived so we decided to take advantage of the lull and start the day with coffee's and pastries.
The house was originally owned by the Nettlefold family, the founder of the GKN group of companies that specialized in the manufacture of screws, nuts and bolts etc.
After a while the rain came back so we retreated to the cafe for a spot of lunch.
Unfortunately so did everyone else. finally found a window table and enjoyed a very nice meal.
Later we went back to Rays flat and enjoyed a cup of tea and the inevitable reminiscing.
A great day out.
