Here’s a question I get asked a lot:
“What on earth are you doing here?”.
I wasn’t born here, in Birmingham, but here I am now: a grown man, a wife, a house, kids and a cat. A responsible job even. Birmingham has me, has me locked in tight.
“But why Birmingham, of all places?”
I didn’t grow up here, in Brum, but here I stand, here and now. I’m part of this place, it’s part of me.
“How did you end up here?”
