Going back to my roots

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Anything connected to Birmingham-the UK’s second city makes me feel nostalgic.

We had such a lively music scene, ‘ town’ was vibrant day and night. I still feel fortunate to have been around to witness and be part of that era.

Hearing a Brummie accent on the radio makes me smile. It gets me every time. Not everyone can hack it, but that’s not my problem.

I love the dry sense of humour unique to the area. They are good people to be around.

The ‘Flower of Birmingham’ is the Foxglove

The motto of the city is Forward

    • 👋 Hey, yes. I imagine most of those are before your time. Foxgloves are lovely. Especially when a bee disappears inside one of the little cups 🐝
