Well we are home after a long day travelling and a very busy weekend. Two very tired bunnies, and the thought of going to work tomorrow is making me very flat along with coping with the emotions of watching my partner go back to her home town etc.

Any way the main  reason why we went to Birmingham ( apart from seeing each other) was to attend gay pride

The parade it self was amazing, and was really worth the visit, and is much better than Newcastle's March. But after the parade it self, I found that the rest of the pride event was a let down. It cost me £45 to get LC and I in to the event. In my honest opinion it was a waste of time and money. It certainly wasn't family friendly or disabled friendly in the least.very very crowded with very little space to sit down, the women only tent allowed men in it. ( I don't dislike men in the least), but if they say that they are going to create a women only space, then they should follow through on that.  I won't be attending that part of Birmingham Pride again. Newcastle has a much better layout at Exhibition park.

Sunday was a lovely pleasant day, along with being DC's birthday, the weather was beautiful and we spent four hours in http://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/bmag/whats-on. It was an absolute joy watching LC wandering around, being very inspired by lots of different peices of art, which is making her itching to get started on her arts award at the Baltic.  Inspired throughout the journey home on the train. LC came up with a list of questions to ask artists and she also created her very first mind mapping plan.
In the evening we decided to go out for a meal in a Tapas / Spanish restaurant. DC and I had paella marinara, it was delicious and very filling, accompanied very nicely by two jugs of Sangria. http://www.opentable.co.uk/amantia?ref=4220&sp=ppc_g_UK_Restaurants&reengagement=1&publisher_id=169194&my_campaign=Kenshoo1&ref_id=44737918-9e48-4b11-938b-88e77c9055e0&utm_source=K_UTM_SOURCE&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=K_UTM_TERM&utm_content=K_UTM_CONTENT&utm_campaign=Birmingham_X_Restaurants-BMM%5E211136.
