We have had a busy week-end in Birmingham with the annual Artsfest festival taking place, with nearly 600 different events and performances.
From ballet to bhangra, dub poetry to indie rock, comedy to classical music and everything in between, around 110,000 people
came on Saturday alone, to enjoy the free entertainment.
We were lucky to have lots of visitors to our recycling trailer wanting information on what they can recycle, how they can compost and of course real nappies. Parents are often pleasantly surprised to find out that Birmingham City Council wants to reward parents with a £30 cash back on their purchase of real nappies. In today’s climate every penny helps!
We can also boast some special visitors, the Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress and Sharon Lea, Strategic Director of Environment & Culture (Acting) The Lord Mayor and Sharon Lea, seen here by our lovely recycling bins!
I have just got back from an information session at Birmingham Central Library where mums and dads brought their little ones to a play and story time event. It is always so nice when parents listen to a short demonstration and then ask loads of questions – even better if I can answer the questions! I am hoping this will be a regular event, the staff were certainly very keen.
I am having a short week this week as I have to go University hunting with my daughter, Hannah, oh joy. Actually, it’s not too scary as I have already done it once before with Alex. We are going to Glamorgan Uni this week, another trip to Wales, having already done Swansea and Cardiff. It might seem a long way off, but believe me, time flies so quickly when your children are small and you have 101 things to do!
