Just arrived at Birmingham Hilton Hotel for the Starfury Highlanders 4 convention. I think I’m the only Kiwi/Aussie rep so far.

Awoke this morning in Ludlow to a glistening morning after heavy rain.

We toasted, tea-d, showered and headed off for Birmingham mid-morning. At one point passed this splendid vista of three counties:

Raining on and off in Birmingham but as we are ensconced in the hotel it won’t matter.

Met up with lots of new faces, and many familiar ones from past visits. The Outlandish UK ones and I enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea and I have returned to await the evening programme.

More tomorrow!
