Halcyon
As we get older we remember the halcyon days of our carefree childhood, especially summer holidays, when it never rained, and the sun always shone.

Lissom
As I’ve got older I have become less lissom although I do wonder if I was ever agile and supple!

Resplendent
In all the formal processions for the Queen’s funeral the military all looked resplendent in their uniforms.

16. Redolent

17. Serendipitous

Still more words

We're over half way through our challenge.  Yeah!

Let's start with last week's sentences

Luxuriant
Television adverts for shampoo and for colourants always offer the promise of luxuriant hair.

Compelling
I found the television coverage of the Queen’s death and funeral quite compelling. Britain does ceremony so well

Evocative
The smell of lavender is so evocative, bringing back memories of picking lavender stems and weaving ribbon to make them into lavender wands.

And now on to this week's words:

13. Halcyon

14. Lissom

15. Resplendent

Along the canal

After the PoliNations garden and the not-so-raging bull we strolled along the canal to the Roundhouse, where there was a lovely cafe. Hot choclate all round!

I had thought the Roundhouse was for stabling horses that worked on the canal.  It turns out that it was where Birmingham Corporation stabled their working horses in the early 20th century.

After we had watched lots of archive film of Birmingham we strolled along the canal back towards Snow Hill Station.

Who knew that a landlocked city had need a Harbour Master?

We wandered off the canal to a fabulous Italian restaurant on Ludgate Hill for lunch.  Then walked through St Paul's Square to the station arriving with 3 minutes to spare for a train home.

 

It was lovely to be out and about again.  Looking forward to sharing more adventures with you soon.

Thanks for joining me today
