    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Oh dear, Whittlebury use to be easy driving there and back for me. Brum is a pain to get to and back in one day - doable but exhausting. Probably train it.

    Brum's about 1/2 the distance Whittlebury is for me. Looks interesting.

    What's parking like? - is that even a sensible option?
