September 8th – I had to take a short cut across Church Hill in Walsall on my way back and as I passed St Micheals Church in Caldmore, I remembered it had a curious feature: A football perfectly wedged in the wrought iron cross on the roof.
Legend has it it’s been there for years, and bounced into it’s trap off the opposite wall.
Glad to see it was never removed. You can find out more about this little oddity here.
April 16th – I rode into Lichfield to do some shopping and errands, and noticed how all the spring flowers were out. In Festival Gardens, the mascara or grape hyacinths were the deepest electric blue; by Minster Pool the tulips were a beautiful regiment of cream and St. Michael’s churchyard has a huge glade of wild garlic, bluebells and primroses.
Just that morning we’d had quite heavy snow showers.
This unusual but beautiful spring continues.
