Style Africa

As we have just had a four day weekend, Mr Jones and I thought that we should go on a day out. Mr Jones has been wanting to go to the museum in Birmingham and hasn't had the opportunity so we made a day of it on Monday. The weather had perked up from Sunday's horrible rain and we even managed a picnic outside while watching a live band in the square. There were a lot of events on for the Diamond Jubilee but it didn't seem excessively busy.

The museum had a Style Africa exhibition on which showed different fabrics from around Africa. The patterns were amazing and I have put some photos below:
