Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life…
On a misty Sunday morning we travelled to Birmingham to visit the Staffordshire Hoard now that the museum is fully open again after refurbishment.
We found the archaeology theme interesting but were underwhelmed by what was on display. I think part of the problem is that the special items are not ’showcased’ and the lighting is quite dim casting the exhibits in shadows.
I did however enjoy the architecture of the building as seen from the upper floor.

Storm Goretti paints the garden white and in the process causes a couple of short power cuts. Just long enough to stop the daft film that Mr C had put on, as it reached its culmination. The film was logged in through Mr C’s account and he had fallen asleep so I couldn’t log back in to see the end of the film…

January is the ideal time to set those new boundaries for a sense of peace and well-being.
