Ahhhh

It was a very successful day in Birmingham and the last minute refinements (over breakfast) went well and we were generally very satisfied as we left the offices and strolled back through the streets and made our way to the station for the journey south.

The Gorse Fox is becoming accustomed to the business of the trains but was lucky enough to find a seat. The traveller next to him was in a chatty mood and spent the whole journey talking about his Cash Converters franchise, Leeds United, cricket and goodness knows what else. It certainly made the journey whizz by.

It was thrashing down with rain as GF left Euston and headed to his hotel in Tottenham Court Road. At first things did not bode well as they were clearly struggling to find a room. After a few minutes, however, the duty manager managed to find a very nice room up near the top of the old building. Once GF had touched base with the Silver Vixen he headed back out into the rain to try and find a restaurant that specialised in fine Indian dining. After a bit of hunting about and walking some 30 minutes or so he found a nice restaurant behind the hotel. The food was excellent and it would certainly be worth a further visit in the future

Back in the hotel GF tried to use the free WiFi, but found it terribly slow - hence this blog entry being sent via Gmail rather than entered directly.
