00:00So I do like the outdoors so when it's sunny like this you've got this behind
00:04you so you can enjoy anything around here there's nice cafes around there's
00:07restaurants there's nice bars so any of that I've got a dog I like dog walking
00:12so out with my dog all the time anywhere really. Lots of nice parks in
00:19Bourneville they're very nice Roheath Pavilion in particular they've got a bar
00:24they've got a cafe lots of things during the summer for the kids to do it's nice
00:29isn't it? Yeah. Cannon Hill Park. Yeah. And the cricket. Nature's like the Nature
00:36Centre we're being big kids I'm doing the bear hunt around the town centre. I
00:41think there's lots to do mate with all the different parks around here and we
00:46were at the cricket yesterday it was a unbelievable day to you know sit in the
00:50sun and watch the cricket and all the shopping down here it's just tons to
00:55walk I think so. Well I'm super pasty and don't like the sun so we're trying
01:02to avoid the sunshine today but I think Birmingham's a great place for that as
01:06well because we're gonna go for a walk on the canal which is really shady sit
01:10in a beer garden have some snacks so we'll be out of the sunshine but still
01:15enjoying Birmingham. So I would say Birmingham's got a canal network that's
01:19worth going along because we've got some lovely pubs and beautiful flowers and
01:25some quite historical bridges as well from the Industrial Revolution so they're
01:29really worth going to have a look because there's not a lot left from old
01:32Birmingham and I suppose the canal area embraces the new and the old and it's a
01:39fascinating city I would recommend you you visit it fully and also in Digberth
01:44there's a trail a street art trail three and a half kilometres of magnificent
01:50murals by local artists and that's a really nice thing to do in summer to
01:55walk around Digberth and the street art trail.
