Our friends from Australia, the Lee family, are visiting their English relatives up in Birmingham for a few weeks over Christmas. While Michael was hard at work, Sarah took the children up to visit. The Lees are staying with Deb's Mum who didn't quite have room for another five, so Sarah and the kids stayed at a local bed and breakfast run by Deb's family friend, Celia. The place was called the Rectory Cottage and was very everything you'd expect of a typical English Bed and Breakfast. However, something got lost in translation with the kids as they were very disappointed not to get their breakfast in bed. They thought they were going to a 'Bed in Breakfast' place. They reluctantly trooped down to have their breakfast in the breakfast room with the two stuffed dead robins. While we were there we went to visit another castle, Warwick Castle, which was very impressive and included a cheesy swordfight display.
