Birmingham cyclists - whats the condition of the towpath from Brandwood to The Blue Bell cider house? I've got a training event in a few months and might ride out to it ( I drove today ) . It's been a few years since I've ridden that way.

After last years celeriac got ravaged by slugs this years harvest isn’t looking too bad. The question is when should we look to harvest them? 🤔

In the 6 years I’ve been using the @a38cycleway.bsky.social I saw a road sweeper on it for the first time this morning, if I ride that way tomorrow I’m hoping all the gravel and leaf debris will have been swept away!

Todays tayberry harvest from the allotment, with plenty more ripening. We can normally harvest this amount every day for a few weeks. I’ll pop most of them in the freezer to make jam with autumn raspberries.

I don't think the independants of Stirchley have much to worry about from a McDonalds arriving but I imagine it will make the traffic a complete nightmare if people queuing up for it back up onto the Pershore Rd.
