Day out!

It was -2°C at 8+am this morning and look at the ice capped cars!! Temp later rose to 1°C and more later in the day.

Iced leaves!

Took bus 10H and stopped nearer to New St station. Anyway, the station was very crowded and finally found SK..haha..then we went to find customers lockers in Bullring cos I read about it..and found it. Too bad the small lockers were all in use else it'll be only £2..medium is £3 and large is £4. Still cheaper than the luggage storage service in the station itself which goes according to time.

And so we went to Birmingham Cathedral then Jewellery Quarter and then Christmas markets and then Brindley Place (where there's a canal) and then Chinatown and back to Bullring. SK commented there are more red-brick buildings here..and she doesn't think there's such big shopping malls in London like Bullring here..hah! Some photos to share..more uploaded to Photobucket.

Birmingham Cathedral - personally like this pic with tree branches and pretty sky!

Oh..looks like I'm having the apple pie all by myself cos C&L really not fans of it..so didn't eat. I had them for breakfast today.
