I'm sorely tempted to risk a day out to Sarehole...I wonder if it's on a bus route into Brum city centre - it's feasible to bring ye Childe for a couple of hours if I can get him onto a train. Course, he'll have to be able to crawl around once he gets there...

I am torn for there are special exhibition matched at Wimbledon that day to try out the centrecourt cover and I am sore tempted for the sake fo seeing Agassi play again... However this does sound fun (despite Morris Dancers). This site gives some transport links

And I think Birmingham public transport was quite efficiet as I recall....

I'd have to bring the Childe because extracting babysitting from his grandparents is nigh on impossible. We only managed to extract a few hours for our first cinema trip since he was born this last Sunday!

What's up with Morris Dancers?

Mithalwen · 03-10-2009, 03:35 PM

Actually can't believe how it is little more than an hour by train. And he will be 18 months+ by then and will love a train trip I bet . Will probably take me as long to get from Rugby if I visit the hobbit folk

. Actually can't believe that I have never been since it is close to where my Dad's family lived... but they aren't interested...

Oh Morris Dancers are scary - though possibly not as scary as the other entertainment if Oxonmoot is a guide...

And Ye Childe cannot stay home with Genitor Familias and let Mum have a weekend off with some friends? Or is davem wanting along on the trip?

Shh Bethberry, getting to meet the nipper 4 months earlier than thought remotely possible might just win over the attractions of SW19

Hey Lal, bring Ye Childe and don't worry about the babe crawling in the mud and maybe eating worms, after nine pints I do the same, and I'm perfectly OK, .......................................can I have my medicine now nurse.

I'm working out the logistics of it - it gives me an excuse to look at bus timetables at least, which is something I find strangely satisfying
