I spent the weekend in Birmingham at Lib Dem Spring Conference. My partner’s originally from Moseley, so no opportunity is ever missed to take a trip up to England’s second city (more trees than Paris, more canals than Venice, I’m reliably informed). However, lovely as the canals and trees are, the highlight of the weekend was Nick Clegg’s speech. See for yourself:

Hmm, the Worcester & Birmingham canal and the Tardebigge Flight. I spent many a childhood holiday wondering why my parents couldn’t just go on a package holiday to Malaga or smthg, rather than canal boat holidays to Gloucester, Sharpness, Birmingham or similar exotic locations, and taking a week to get there! Would probably appreciate it more now I guess . . .
