Weekend with celebs

Got invited to a Stevie Wonder concert so took the train and spent the weekend in Birmingham. It's not that far...about 1.5 hrs by train from London.

Got there early saturday unforunately the weather wasn't good so spent most of the time indoors in the Bullring mall.

Just after lunch we discovered that Geri Halliwell was coming to Bullring mall's Selfridges. She was there for signing of her latest children's book series called "uGenia Lavander". Most of the people waited a long time to see her but not because of the book. There are hardly any children in the crowd. I was on level 2 looking down on level 1 where she was sitting. Geri was 45 minutes late and some people in the crowd got fed up with the waiting and left. I overheard one person even complained how rude Geri was for not acknowledging she is going to be late.









Anyway, the concert was due to start at 8pm so I quickly checked into the hotel late afternoon to freshen up then head off to get some food. The rain got worse and due to the concert, all the restaurants in the surrounding area were fully booked. In the end we opted for some fried chicken wings from one of the pretend KFC places - which turned out quite yummy.

Here are some shots from the concert:
