At the weekend I visited Birmingham, less than half an hour by train from Coventry and less than £3 return ticket. Birmingham is the second biggest city in the UK and whilst this wasn't the first time I had been, the last time was for the National Student Apprentice and I didn't have that much time to explore.
The city, on a sunny blue sky day, is actually quite beautiful (even if the locals of Birmingham are not so beautiful).
Here are the gorgeous regal buildings that I was in for the Apprentice Challenge, they look even better with the blue sky back drop:
I believe they are the Town hall (first photo) and the Council House (second photo). When we were looking up things we could do in Birmingham one of the options google found us was a 'Council House Tour'. I was confused as to why anyone would want a tour of council housing, but now I realise it meant this beautiful building and it makes a lot more sense!
Contrast these old buildings with those more new and architecturally interesting like this one below and Birmingham makes for a visually really exciting city.
Here's my OOTD for this hot and sunny day, something of a rarity here in England, as you can tell by my lack of tan...
