hi I'm Laura and i live in Wolverhampton west midlands in England I've lived here my whole life i had a up and down childhood i used to play in my street with my friends most of the time we played games like whats the time Mr wolf and stuck in the mud or play skipping games we had some really good fun memories there isn't that much to do because its in a city there isn't that much green we could play on except the parks and they were usually full with teenagers so we made games up we were creative that way we have markets and shopping centers more than anything else not much stuff for kids you will have to have a car if you wanted to go somewhere fun like Dayton manor or Dudley zoo

    I see you wish you could fly away... But more easily, you could cycle to Ironbridge, through the countryside, and take a friend. You could stay here

    Or at the youth hostel. (I haven't tested this lot myself, just got tempted to look on Google. It directs you mostly along the canal towpath and says it takes 2 hours to cycle. )

      I live in Telford and Ironbridge is just fab. Only 5mins from my house. So many things to see and do.

      So have you been to The Malthouse, then?

      I've only just noticed your Q sorry ... Yeah, I've been to the Malthouse on many occasions. My friends play in bands so been to see them there. The food is great too. Love sitting outside on a hot sunny day and taking it all in, then to The Swan and back up the street. There's plenty of boozers, all with their own unique character so an afternoon strolling around with good company is fun!!

      Wolverhampton takes its name from a monastry established by Lady Wulfruna in 985 AD and means 'the high town or town on the hill'. and no problem
