Evie had a day's photographic work in Birmingham and asked me if I'd like to accompany her. While she went to the Home for Good conference, I had the day to myself in the city centre.
First on the list was to take some photos for Malcolm:

This is the Oratory in Hagley Road.
When I went in, and sat down, I was quite amazed by the wave of emotion that swept over me. I knelt and prayed for quite a while. I gave thanks for all the good that has come from Catholicism, prayed about the divisions through the centuries, and prayed too for the victims of different aspects. |

| This is Perrott's Folly - quite near the Oratory. Its thought it may have been the inspiration for The Two Towers ( sorry Malc, I didn't see the second tower !) |
 |
And this is 37 Duchess Rd . . .
The point of these photos is that these places all had some connection to JRRTolkien. |
