A friend and I are in Birmingham for the weekend. Today, we set off from the city centre after spending some time in the library’s Secret Garden and walked all the way to the Kenrick Park tram stop. Our route took us through a mix of residential, industrial, and rural areas, offering a real variety of scenery—all under a shining sun. Along the way, we spotted some local wildlife, including squirrels, a curious robin, and a couple of beautiful herons near the water.
