00:10opened up on local communities for example near Longbridge Way there's the
00:14River Ray Trail that's just opened up that's been done by the community and
00:18it's maintained by the community it's absolutely gorgeous walk down there.
00:22We only come to Birmingham for college or for work so nothing much but whenever we
00:27do it's like you know at the end of the ball ring they've got like that summer
00:31thing like it's like all the drinks and stuff we go to that sometimes so yeah
