Perhaps you have to be there but the London Olympics opening ceremony it is not. Stella and the Dreamers? Dear oh dear. Quite liked the Union flag made of locally-made cars.

I know of Ladywood fiorentina. My mum was born on Kings Heath in 1910 and Peaky Blinders started in the same place and time so I was really interested to see that series.

Not looking too steady on his feet though.

I went into the kitchen to wash up and nearly missed Ozzie! I’m so proud to be a Brummie tonight.

We turned over to another programme because of all the rapping then turned back in time to watch the flag being handed over, the Australian contributions and then surprise
- Ozzie!

DH asked who he was ?

I lived in Hockley. Back to back houses, bomb sites, factories,. Couldn’t wait to leave Brum when I was old enough but how I’ve come to love and appreciate it over the years. My dads family lived by The Garrison which was proper Peaky Blunders country and my local park was Black Patch Park where the gypsies lived and where Charlie Chaplin was supposedly born.
