Booking in...

Here is Wilson getting ready to check in at our hotel. We're sharing a room, so I hope W is not too restless... or flatulent!

I think the hotel's WiFi is expensive at £12 for 24 hours, but W insists he needs it to research Adam Ant. 

CityBreak!

Here we are on our CityBreak to… Birmingham! 

Wilson is very excited (although, naturally, he slept for most of the journey). As we approached Brum he woke and saw a roadside hoarding advertising a concert by none other than Adam Ant! 

I spent the rest of the journey telling him about Adam Ant, his band, the 80s, New Romanticism,  Malcolm McClaren and Bow Wow Wow, 'Prince Charming', 'Stand and Deliver', the two drummers… Ah, they were heady days!

I was enjoying my reminiscing when I noticed Wilson had nodded off again!

Fifth of November firework fun!

Bonfire Night! Sparklers, toasted marshmallows, hot soup with ant garnish, story-telling and singing round a roaring bonfire… 

No fur was singed and Wilson had a brilliant time!

To ease any sense of anticlimax, I've planned a short CityBreak holiday for the coming week -- I think Wilson will love it!
