Let the train take............

you into Brum - £3.75 return with a Railcard and at the fantastic new station in 14 minutes
We went in this morning on the 8.32 from Coleshill.
Hardly a soul about anywhere.
We breakfasted at Pret at Grand Central aka New Street Station then followed up the research into wheeled holdalls aka gwips, in John Lewis, Debenhams and Selfridges.
JL won the day, even giving a 10% discount, when asked, so we now have  red Eastpak luggage X 2 with a 30 year guarantee.
That's an incentive to keep travelling into my 90s.
Home by noon having beaten the crowds and delighted with the buys.

WHSmith have Thorntons Russian caramels which are just like the ones we ate as students.
2 bags for £1.60.
Scrummy.

Jobs all done and relaxing in the lounge with a small sherry and a mince pie.
No Xmas cake available!
