November 7th – I’m really getting into Acocks Green in Birmingham. I love the suburban, Metroland architecture, broad tree-lined streets and air of urban dignity. What’s really interesting me, particularly now I’ve spotted Hay Hall, is that there are clearly buildings of an earlier period dotted throughout the district. Some are quite well hidden, but this suggests a long history. This is fascinating and I must read up.
July 10th – First good run out for a while, and some time since I’d cycled into the Tame floodplains north of Tamworth. Heading through Lichfield and Croxall, I cruised through the delightfull little village of Edingale, on the Stafordshire-Derbyshire border.
Endingale and it’s near neighbours – Harlaston, Lullington, Clifton Campville, Rosliston and Coton in the Elms typify the quiet, rural idyll of the English village. Sleepy main streets, secluded closes of old houses and lovely old churches and pubs. How I adore Staffordshire.
