Apologies, Liz
for the inaccuracies of my references in that previous.
First thing on a Sunday morning can be a vague place to be.
But to be 'reared' above a chippy, c'est magnifique.
And as for the Stratford Rd, the Warwick Rd, the Alcester Rd, the Coventry
Rd, their arterial presence, like a spread fan, reverberates in my memory
like song.
I might dare to go back to that canalsite later this year.
