Jewellery Quarter on a wet Sunday

I had a visit to the Jewellery Quarter today to see friends, and meet some nice people about photographing their wedding later this year.

Was a bit early so wandered round looking at the buildings in the Quarter. So many lovely old places, some more melancholic than others, but all seem to have stories to tell. Must go down there one day with my proper camera equipment; today was just a brief visit in the grey rain.

Now trying to figure out how to go to work without any heating or hot water for a second morning running. British Gas "Homecare" - what a joke that has turned out to be. Any suggestions for better cover?
