We're lucky in Birmingham that planners throughout the city's history have sought to neutralise its manufacturing industry with green spaces, making for an extremely verdant city. While in Chile, Carlos and I both missed Birmingham's tree-lined streets and the dose of naturaleza they provide.
Oozells Square, Birmingham |
Springtime at St. Paul's |
Elsewhere, however urban a route you take through the city, you're accompanied by happy yellow heads of daffodils, delicate blossom falling and green buds sprouting overhead. A truly happy time.
Oozells Square is located just off Broad Street; turn down Oozells Street (next to Flares...) and/or follow signs to the Ikon gallery. While you're there, make sure you take in the brilliant Ikon and its even more brilliant tapas restaurant (Cafe Ikon) for some seriously good food. The cherry blossom is best viewed in March.
