Well, perhaps not quite 'the Midlands', although we spent a lot of time in that region due to Tracy researching her family tree, and visiting our old haunts from when we used to live in Coventry.
We rented a self-catered cabin for two weeks at a small town - Ledbury in Herefordshire, and struck out from there.  An old friend from Adelaide, Trog (then  living in Birmingham) came and stayed with us for a few days too. 
Some of the places not covered by photos that we visited were Hay-on-Wye,  Stratford-on-Avon, National Bird-of-Prey Centre, Lichfield and the Severn Bridge.
Plus a few pictures from when we returned to Sussex.
