Pop-up Italian – the perfect night out.

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lorna McCann I don’t get the chance to go out much these days as I’m sure is the case with most parents who have young children. So, when Sofood! announced they were going to host a pop-up Italian night on February 28th it seemed like the perfect excuse to draft in the babysitters and join the rest of the […]

Cuando la gente visita el Reino Unido muchos extranjeros van directos a la capital antes de viajar a otros lugares de interés turístico del país.

My new and amazing diet – Baby-Led-Weaning (BLW)

19 Feb 2014

by Rhea Alton

There is no new mum who will wander into the kitchen, babe in arms, wearing PJs despite the fact it is 2pm, covered in suspicious stains and think ‘right, I’ll just whip myself together a prawn and avocado salad and a fresh fruit smoothie and I will be fit, healthy and back to my old self (or a new yummy […]

Just call me Julia…

19 Feb 2014

by Rhea Alton

Well, my first visit to the opera was a success. I really enjoyed it and Katherine Jenkins can be safe in the knowledge that people of all shapes and sizes were alongside me in the seats at Theatre Severn so Shrewsbury is sharing the opera with all genders and all ages. I went in with a mind full of Julia […]

A passion for photography

05 Feb 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley I got my first proper camera – a Nikon 301 SLR – for my 18th birthday but it was a surprise present that did not get much use. To me f-numbers and exposure was all too complicated, another language, and no-one was really there to explain how it worked. It was not until nearly 20 years later […]

Swapping four wheels for two

01 Feb 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley It’s been nearly 18 months since I gave up my company car after leaving my job of nearly 20 years. Instead of buying another vehicle, which I didn’t necessarily need, I swapped four wheels for two – and I haven’t looked back. I’ve always had a cycle since I was young but it wasn’t until it was […]
