Yardley Wood - Canals

The sun was shining so I took a short walk around the local area to get some fresh air, we'd lived here for over 5 years before I explored around the canal and nature reserves in Yardley Wood, I feel like I wasted so much time.

It made me wonder how closed off we are to our surroundings, are we too busy with our daily routines to care? Or am I the exception?
