South Midlands (if there is such a term) has some nice areas but as for the 'actual' midlands I am with you.

Morning all 
Tis Fish Friday
Going to pick some stuff up from the local garden centre first, then lunching in the Aggi.
My next move is likely to be onto Exmoor.

My Webbs petrol mower tackled it OK, but I had to do four cuts at lowering heights. It wouldn't have done it in one go.
Another escapee here. On our round England trip we just did, we spent some time near a couple of large towns. Enough to make me never want to live anywhere busy again.Hell no. It took me decades to get away from the god awful place. I have no wish to go back thank you very much

I don't have a hat.
Walk done and it mostly stayed dry apart from a few spells of drizzle. Very mild though. I hate damp, humid weather. Makes me feel lethargic.

I went on one 7 or 8 years ago thinking it would be a waste of time.
However, I learnt a few things and, more importantly, it made me stop and think about how I drove.
On the other hand I was shocked at what some attendees didn't know.
Like what?

Simple observational stuff re parked cars where mothers and children were grouped nearby, change of road conditions eg dry to puddly, dark tunnels man-made and tree-lined, road signs for eg sharp bends - stuff like that.

Done a lot today painted some parts on my trike that looked flakey, did some sewing and made 36 mince pies.
Got up this morning at 06:00 to put the old black bag out and the bloody binmen failed to pick them up, no doubt the foxes will rip them apart tonight.
