Sadly this will be my final Spring and Summer at the University of Birmingham. It kind of feels over before it began, even though it has been 2 and a half years since I joined UoB.
It leaves me with a few months to get around to all the things I should have got around to years ago – e.g., visiting the famed Winterbourne Gardens and Barber Institute of Fine Arts.
I hope to enjoy every second of my remaining time at Birmingham. It’s been a period of incredible growth – more has happened than I will ever have time to list – and I will look back on this period as a great leap forward. Before that though I will “smell the flowers while I can.”
