#Birmgreengham

This is how my grandmother would call the city where I live, while trying to explain to any other Spanish grandmother where her granddaughter is. I must say, for old people Birmingham is a hard word to pronounce!
Hi everybody! I'm back after a month of travelling and nice holidays with my family and friends. I charged all the batteries to bring you some nice pics and more information about the city :) This time, I want to show you that this city is not only about industries and awful and dark places. You have lots of green places to relax when you feel bored of all the city life, when you feel stressed or just want to breath some fresh air. Or -also- taking some green and colourful pictures!
Every area or suburb has its own green space: a big park, a small lake, a piece of the canals... Whatever! But there's always some nature around!
I haven't been in all the areas around Birmingham, but today I'm bringing you some pictures of the parks, canals or lakes I've already been to. You will see that, even in the heart of the city, or on your way to work, you could find green spaces to scape from the rush.
This pictures have been taken in Harborne, Cannon Hill Park, Northfield, city centre and Edgbaston. Although I've heard really nice things about Sutton Park or Lickey Hills -I hope I could visit them soon!

So please don't underestimate your area. I'm sure you'll find very lovely places to spend a relaxing afternoon or to have a funny picnic with your friends or family. Now that the sun has set and it's quite cold to go outside, take a cup of tea and chill out checking this photos :)

See you soon and good night!
