July - the birthday month...

July is basically a month of birthdays for me and my friends...the first of which was Mark's on the 7th. We caught the train into Birmingham, something we should do more often actually as its pretty convenient, and met the others in Brum. We started off in the Joint Stock. Not been in there before but it was a nice place. Apparently it was a bank prior to being the pub it is now. It also has a theatre within it which I couldn't quite get my head around but still....

After Joint Stock we went for a meal at Bella Italia, I think this used to be called Bella Pasta but for whatever reason its now called Bella Italia. I had pizza...surprise, surprise. It was really , really nice and I would go their again. After here, we went to Bachus, a bar underneath The Burlington Hotel. Again...very, very nice...
