More celebrations

My last post, Just the Start, was about the first day of celebrating my 75th birthday with a visit to Coventry.

The next day, my actual birthday, Roger took me to see the musical Hamilton.

The stage, Birmingham Hippodrome

We went on the train into Birmingham to have dinner before the show.  We went to The Malaya Classic where we had the set meal for two which included the unlikely Honey Marmite Chicken.

In a moment of madness in the theatre we took a selfie - is there another name for a selfie that has two people in it?

 We enjoyed Hamilton although I was somewhat befuddled by the 3 wedding scenes.

Part 3 of my birthday celebrations was having coffee with two friends yesterday.  One had her birthday recently and the other has her birthday on Friday.

Actually when I say having coffee - they had tea and I had hot chocolate.  But we were in a coffee shop!

The birthday celebrations are on hold now until a birthday party in three weeks time.  One of the problems of having an August birthday is that so many people are away on holiday.

Just the start

of my birthday celebrations.

Yesterday we went to Coventry to see a quilt exhibition at Coventry Cathedral.  But first we had lunch at The Golden Cross.  I had Seabass with crushed potatoes, wilted spinach and cauliflower puree.  And a large glass of Merlot.

Then a short stroll to the Cathedral to see the exhibition of Alexandra Kingswell's absolutely beautiful Seeking the Light exhibtion.  It's on until the end of August so you have a couple of weeks to go and see it.

It wasn't the easiest of spaces to take photos.  I did manage some and some close ups.

After this, we wandered up to the Coventry Canal Basin to see if it had changed since the last time we were there.  It had been improved.

A statue of James Brindley.

Sneak peek

Here's a sneak peek at my latest textile piece

 And here's another part of it

It doesn't look much in these photos and I haven't shown you all of it.  There's a lot more machining to do.  And hand stitching!  And cords!

I've set a 2-3 week finished deadline so you will get to see the whole thing by the end of August.

Hopefully!
