| The forsythia was in full bloom everywhere |
We had our last breakfast at the
Ibis Styles - fairly basic but not bad. We packed and checked out of the hotel, our home for the last four nights. We drove to Hugh's. Jess was also there with her smart haircut! We had a coffee and then strolled round the
Kings Heath gardens, enjoying the spring daffodils and forsythia.
Then we drove to the
Red Lion nearby for lunch. I had a huge chicken salad sandwich - too big to finish! And a dry white wine and soda, or two. After dropping Hugh off at home, we set off to Birmingham Airport.

We had to drive around to find a petrol station that wasn't exorbitant and then took our hire car back. We checked in, went through security and then relaxed in Departures - maybe a bit too long as we got the final call for our flight to Zurich. In any case, it took off a bit late but we arrived on time at 21.40. We caught the train and bus home - temperature a chilly 2 degrees. I made a list of things to do next.
We had a very good trip to the English Midlands and it was fun to catch up with the Clixby Clan. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next joint family event.
