- Our egg hunt begins with WME Birmingham where the springtime blossoms of Calthorpe Park in Edgbaston take centre stage. Scenery of an altogether bleaker nature is represented by additions from Bordesley Junction (Grand Union Canal) and our good friend Bordesley Station (still as depressing as ever), whilst Bloomsbury Library is one of my favourite examples of Birmingham's Victorian architecture.
- With a skip and a hop we land ourselves on WME Dudley where the bunny has also been busy. There are new sets to investigate such as Baptist End (the Swan pub), Coombeswood (the Lighthouse) and Dudley Wood (Bush Road butchers) whilst there's also a bumper bundle for Coseley featuring Christ Church, the cricket club and the former swimming baths.
- Our next Easter destination is WME Sandwell which is now benefiting from the inclusion of Hill Top complete with two photos of the Cottage Spring down Balls Hill way. Bescot Stadium Station has summoned up a couple of extra platform shots and there is also a showing for the Marksman pub at Carters Green.
- Now then, what has the bunny hidden away on WME Shropshire? Well, I can exclusively reveal that Claverley village has made an appearance (the Crown pub being a particular favourite of mine). A bus stop in Broseley and a platform view from Bridgnorth's Severn Valley Railway Station complete the haul here.
- There are also goodies to be had by way of WME Staffordshire. Chasetown takes it's inaugural bow with two pictures of the Junction pub, there's a peek at Moatbrook Lane down in Codsall and Dimmingsdale Bridge squeaks once more into the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal cohort.
- Last but by no means least, our floppy-eared friend also dropped in on WME Wolverhampton (the Pilot pub at Blakeley Green and some books in Collingwood Library) followed by WME Walsall (the Morrison's supermarket at Bescot plus the former George pub in Bloxwich) to finish off his deliveries for this year.
- Judging by that little lot, the Easter Bunny has been quite generous this year and we now wait to see what photographic precipitation comes forth with the April showers...
Buses and beer, railways and recollections, pubs and photography, canals and cricket: The quest to discover and document the West Midlands and surrounding areas continues...
