Birmingham

A lovely wander around Brum... after a lovely full English at the Merchant.  We did an awful lot of walking - to the point we almost lost Rob (cardiac!), but we did see an awful lot of the city.

The highlight for most of us, simply because we hadn't been there before, was the Library of Birmingham.  A magnificent building, with great work & social spaces, but most specially with a couple of gardens in the sky, offering fantastic views over the city skyline.

 

And, of course, no wander around Birmingham would be complete without a trot along the towpath to Gas Street Basin.
