We were in plenty time and despite getting booked into seats several seats apart, we found seats together that were available. Shane had a bit of anxiety over planning the possible routes and we sprinted across Birmingham to try to get an earlier connection, missed it, but were advised, by a helpful member of staff, to get one to Leamington Spa from there we could change into the next train from Birmingham New Street and save ourselves from running back to that station to catch it. We had time to get our breath back. At Leamington I had time to pick up some shopping since the marina is not near shops, and visited Spa oriental supermarket, and saw a vegetable I have not ever seen before, and a halal butchers and many baklava but it didn’t have bread I wanted. I bought a loaf of bread and some rolls in Wisla Delikatesy and got milk in a convenience store and off licence that advertised itself as a specialist in Indian groceries. It was a shame I only wanted milk there and had not a lot of space, anyway I had had a samosa on the train. I was short of space and time to do the shops justice. Once back at the station we went to the platform and saw another decorated piano – this has been the month for them – this one had a multinational theme. I am sure I have been here before and not seen the piano and again this one was decorated by a local artist.
