I walked through the maze of streets and alleyways, trying to remember how to reach the town square. Seagulls circled above me, swooping low over my head and crying out like I was a scrap of food to be snaffled in their beaks.

Paul pawed at me and whimpered. I guessed he wanted a walk and was hungry. I fed him the custard creams left by housekeeping on the tray on the table with the teas and coffees.

Enjoyed this, Jane. Was chatting about Brum to my partner the other day. I used to have to go there quite a bit for work and never felt a love for the place, but she thinks it's great. Interesting to read your take on it.
