Brit Floyd at Symphony Hall - Video 3

What about a bit more "Keep Talking"?
I will try to restrict myself to just one more video after this, as I believe that amazingly, not everyone particularly likes Pink/Brit Floyd!

Apologies for the delay! Blogger has been refusing to allow video uploads.
Here's part of "Keep Talking" - worth waiting for!

Brit Floyd at Birmngham Symphony Hall

While we were moored in Birmingham we were lucky enough to catch Brit Floyd at The Symphony Hall.
Excellent - or what?
Here are a few stills of the concert.
Would you like some video?
I think you're going to get some anyway!
Look out for the next few posts with video clips...

Narrowboat Stella In Birmingham

Here we are moored at Holiday Wharf in Birmingham
 
Right at the foot of "The Cube"
 
At the top is Marco Pierre White's restaurant
 
Nice place for a glass or two of something with great views over Birmingham

Baddesley Clinton

On our way to our last week this year on board narrowboat "Stella" we stopped at Baddesley Clinton which is owned by the National Trust.
 
This is the maid's parlour
 
Kitchen - obviously!
 
Dining room
 
Chapel on the first floor
 
Luckily they had some stained glass for me to photograph so I didn't have to go in search of a church!
Very nice place to visit with good cafe, shop and very friendly enthusiastic staff and volunteers

Bosworth Battlefield

We've just been to Bosworth Battlefield with a view to taking a museum group on a visit next year.
The battlefield!
 
 
 
Shenton station on the Battlefield Line.
Perhaps another option for our visit?

Greenwich Pub Walk 3

We then walked across Greenwich Park and got these nice photos...
 
 
Then to the 'Richard 1' and the 'Greenwich Union' next door!
 
And finally to the 'Ashburnham Arms' before returning to the Docklands Light Railway to start our journey home
