Though the new year prompts fresh starts and opening a new chapter in our lives, we can be forgiven if we haven’t got around to it until now. After all, February and March are when the flowers start to come out and they seem to mark the end of our winter hibernation.

This issue we caught up with a wonderful Brummie, Hannah Molloy, who amoung her many accolades (as local dog whisperer and creator of Pawfect Dogsense) is an expert on Channel 4’s new show Puppy School. Hannah has given us an exciting insight into what we can expect on the show.

Our local reader and contributor, Emily Wilcox, has covered all the best days coming up over the next couple of months and has one resounding message for them all... to celebrate yourself, and find love for yourself, because you’re pretty great!

Happy reading

Puppy School;

How to train your

human!

Hannah Molloy is a canine behavioural therapist and dog trainer who runs a company in Birmingham called Pawfect Dogsense. Recently she was asked to be part of Channel 4’s new 3 part show, Puppy School. We caught up with Hannah to find out more about it...

You’ve got some exciting things coming up in March?

So yes, I am about to feature as one of the experts on Channel 4’s new show Puppy School!

Tell us more about the show...

So, Puppy School is a show that is gonna look at why people get puppies.

Everybody has a dog for different reasons and that’s something I see every day when I’m working. The Puppy School environment is a really unique place where people from lots of different backgrounds can come together and learn about dogs, so what we tried to do with Puppy School is teach people about positive training and really look into the stories of the contributors and the reasons why some of these people have got puppies. So yeah it’s going to be a really compassionate look at the ownership really.

Well that sounds like an interesting take on it, so what are some of the reasons people get dogs then?

There are lots of reasons that people get dogs, and I’m not going to give you any spoilers because people are looking forward to watching (the show) when it airs. But I mean, if you think about the ages and stages of people, there are loads of reasons. Maybe you are just retired and you want a new project and you’ve got a bit of an empty nest and

8

Hannah Molloy the kids have moved away and you’d like something to focus your energy on. Sometimes people will get them because they’ve had a really difficult situation happen in their life and having a puppy and raising a puppy is a really lovely way of getting back out into the world and just taking life with both hands again. So it’s been really beautiful to watch some of these stories develop.

I think you’re gonna laugh as much as you are gonna cry, and there’s some really beautiful and sometimes quite sad stories.

So the show is called Puppy School and it’s airing in March, but we don’t know the dates yet?

No, don’t know yet, so you’ve got to keep your ear to the ground and Channel Four will announce when the programme is ready to go out. You know I’m waiting just as much as you are to find out when it’s going to happen!

We’ve completely finished filming it now and people are working really hard to make a great show out of it which I don’t think is going to be difficult because we’ve had some really great people and some amazing stories, and we’ve got three experts. The beautiful thing about Puppy School is you’ve got me, you’ve got a lovely trainer called Oli Juste and another trainer called Katie Patmore, and between the three of us we’ve got a sort of smorgasbord of experience.

About 100 years worth of training experience, when you add it all up.

So did you completely agree on everything?

More or less! Yeah! Often. To be honest the fundamentals of what we believe in are the same. We all believe in positive training, we all believe in setting dogs up to succeed and reinforcing behaviour more than punishing it. Because the science shows that rewarding positive behaviour works. Punishment is a tricky one, if you punish a dog it might be a short fix to deal with a problem but long term you’ll probably find that the punishment will need to increase. Whereas if you keep reinforcing good behaviour that’s gonna stick because it’s worth it for the dog or for the person, so we all believe in positive reinforcement.

Because it gives them the motivation to do the right thing?

Exactly, yes. It’s finding what that individual dog wants to do or wants to work for - or the person. You know, people are trainable in just the same way by providing access to those rewards.

You say people are trainable in the same way, is it the people that you’re training rather than the puppies, in Puppy School?

Yeah! (laughs)

So Puppy School is really Puppy Owner School?

Exactly, 100%. You know, human beings have had dogs for like 20,000 years and I think sometimes we forget that a lot of these dogs had jobs originally that we’re not really giving them access to anymore. Being a pet is probably the hardest job a dog can do because they’re expected to sit at home, be petted and chatted to all day and so more often than not, teaching the owner how to set the dog up to succeed is actually what we do... it’s human training!

DAWN MARRIOTT This issue we are joined again by personal stylist and image consultant Dawn Marriot who is imparting more of her fashion wisdom in our pages. What better time than spring to have a proper declutter and find out about how to organise our wardrobes?

MY MOSELEY & KINGS HEATH, FEBRUARY / MARCH 2019

FASHION

Are you ready for a

wardrobe The 6 golden rules 1- Plan your wardrobe by season.

Ensuring you only have clothes suitable for the current season in your wardrobe ensures everything is wearable and saves on space. For Example, chunky knits and winter coats can be safely packed away for summer

If your wardrobe is busting at the seams yet you still hear yourself cry, “ I have nothing to wear?” it’s time for a Wardrobe Detox. This Edition I’m going to share with you my 6 golden rules to de-clutter and organise your wardrobe in time for spring.

A cluttered space of any kind can bring chaos, frustration and obstruction both physically and mentally to our lives and home.

Clutter can have a detrimental effect on our mental and physical health. In fact, some psychologists are starting to recognize that having a clean, organized home is an essential part of the wellness equation.

This applies to our wardrobes too.

Having clothes stuffed in drawers and crammed onto rails can have a negative effect on our energy and well-being.

Not being able to see what we have can slow down our thought process and push us into making the wrong outfit choices.

I’m going to share with you my golden rules on how to detox, de clutter and re-gain control of your wardrobe, helping you to save time and money, as well as feel less anxious and become more confident in what you wear.

detox?

6- Support sustainable shopping. By being clear about exactly what it is you need each season you can invest in key items that will last. Longer. No more impulse buys or throw away fashion, be kinder to the environment by buying less but better quality.

It’s time to free yourself and your wardrobe!

2- Try everything on. This can take some time but it is worth the effort.

Work through your entire wardrobe. If anything no longer fits or is ripped or stained don’t keep it. Sort into piles to sell, charity and re-work (a good tailor can help with broken zips or length shortening) All of your clothes should make you feel fantastic when you put them on.

3- Create new outfits. Try things

on together that you might not have considered before and have some fun!

If you like what you see snap a photo to remind yourself how to wear it.

A good capsule wardrobe consists of well fitting quality pieces that can be worn in various ways. Having less to work with is actually a better way to manage your wardrobe, ensuring you get wear out of each and every item.

4- Get Organised. Use good quality

hangers and ensure everything is hanging– what you can’t see you can’t wear. Hang by style type creating clear categories within your wardrobe. This makes outfit selection a whole lot easier.

Take it a step further and colour code within category (This is not for the faint hearted!) Garment care is also key.

Ensure jacket covers and dust bags are used to protect things from damage.

This will prolong the life of your favourite items.

If you would like some help managing your wardrobe and creating a new style for yourself please don’t hesitate to contact me.

DAWN MARRIOTT PERSONAL STYLIST & IMAGE CONSULTANT

5- Accessories and shoes. Don’t forget about these, a pair of shoes or handbag can be an outfit maker or breaker. Ensure accessories, scarves, belts, shoes and bags are grouped together and easily accessible. They are a vital part of outfit planning.

WORD ON THE

STREET HISTORY OF THE NUMBER 11 BUS

AMUSEMENT OVER DOUBLE YELLOW LINES LESS THAN A METRE LONG

KINGS HEATH HIGH STREET WELCOMES THE EARLY BIRD BAKERY! The Early Bird Bakery will be serving Brunch, Lunch, Coffee & Cake, all high quality produce made fresh onsite, daily.

Thanks to the generous crowdfunding donations (over £4300) of residents living in Kings Heath, Moseley and further afield, The Early Bird Bakery has opened its doors for locals to enjoy delicious freshly baked goods.

The Early Bird is already gaining a reputation for its delicious food with people travelling from all over Birmingham to sample their delicious creations, it’s definately worth a trip out!

20

Some Kings Heath residents have reacted on social media to an image of double yellow lines, which are “less than a metre long”, asking the council: “Is this really worth it?”.

Some users commented that the lines were needed to stop people parking unnecessarily, near to a zebra crossing.

The 11 is a 27 mile route around the suburbs of Birmingham and happens to be steeped in history. Indeed, Birmingham Corporation Tramways once – somewhat optimistically – tried to market the 11 as a tourist attraction (see their campaign above).

End-to-end (or rather, to and from whichever point within the circle you get on and off at), the 11A/11C takes around 3 hours to complete, and if you stay on all the way round, you’ll find yourself passing a seemingly endless procession of 233 educational establishments, 69 leisure and community centres, 40 pubs, 19 shopping centres, six hospitals, a prison…and even a chocolate factory. transportdesigned.com

Other users made light of the image, with one commenting “I used to park my

unicyle there”. www.itv.com

KINGS HEATH & MOSELEY CHARITY BEER FESTIVAL On the 8th and 9th March Kings Heath Cricket and Sports Club sees the return of the Kings Heath and Moseley Beer Charity Festival - 25 Beers, 15 Ciders, Normal full bar, Food, Live Music, Six Nations Rugby on the big screen.

This chariry event is organised by your local Round Table, 41Club, Ladies Circle and Tangent - who are all unpaid volunteers. Every single penny of profit from the event will go to local charities and worthy causes in the community.

Kings Heath Cricket Club are appealing to local businesses who might be interested in sponsoring the event and have several sponsorship options to offer.

Contact Mr Gavin Allbutt for more info on becoming a sponsor on 07815 619405

The submission features impressive new visuals of the much-anticipated New Garden Square scheme, showing how it will occupy the 10.70-acre site, west of the city centre along the Hagley Road (A456), a main arterial route into Birmingham.

The development brings together a partnership between the progressive property and development company, Calthorpe Estates, and U+I, specialists in major mixed-use regeneration projects across the UK and Ireland, while the scheme design was created

by Glenn Howells Architects.

Ralph Minott, Director of Development at Calthorpe Estates explained “Alongside the significant office space, New Garden Square will provide up to 400 residential apartments, and up to 2,400 sq m of retail space to accommodate bars, restaurants and convenience stores, along with the potential for a 100 bed-hotel, and 900 car parking spaces. It’s an exciting and truly transformational development that will see the regeneration of a first generation 1960s commercial offices site into a new, mixed use scheme.”

The development will be set around a magnificent 180m x 30m high quality garden square public realm, formed from a series of eclectic gardens and mature trees, fronted by the retained existing classic Grade II listed buildings along the Hagley Road.

New Garden Square will benefit from plans which will see the metro extend up the Hagley Road, with a terminus stop opposite the scheme outside 54 Hagley Road. The new SPRINT network will also run in parallel with the metro and continue along Hagley Road to Quinton.

Guess who’s back at Spice Merchant...

Abid Hussain Maybe it’s his 25 years experience in cheffing, or maybe it’s his charm, all I know is that fantastic flavour and athmosphere is back at Spice Merchant just as Abid has returned, and that’s no coincidence!

Anyone who frequented Spice Merchant before Abid’s 1 year hiatus will know how well he maintains the delicate balance between wonderful quality food, affordability, and creating a lovely memory for people. So you’ll be pleased to know he and his team have proudly returned, to bring you more of those great experiences you rememeber.

Abid described to us affectionately how Spice Merchant regulars were sad about

his absence, the texts and calls asking where he had gone and when he’d return.

W

e’re already a couple of months into 2019.

Since Christmas and New Year, the sun has risen a few dozen times and the entire world hasn’t stopped bustling about. We whizz straight through the calendar, but there are a few days - the ones tucked delicately into February and March - that are quite important. And they’re all connected in a way you might not have noticed. But it’s something that they each contain wholeheartedly, something that should fill every single day, whether that’s a national holiday or a standard Tuesday.

Love.

Valentine’s Day is the obvious choice.

Dedicating a full twenty-four hours to reminding those you love just how much they mean to you. Each Milk-Tray chocolate tastes a little sweeter. Every red rose blooms a little brighter. It’s a day that honours the little things done for the largest, most important souls in your life.

Mother’s Day. A day for potentially the very first love of your life. To all you mamas out there, you’re smashing it.

(Psst, to all you papas, you are too.

And you brothers and sisters, aunties and uncles, friends and co-workers. To everybody. Smashing it). (31st March) Pancake Day. Perhaps a little less obvious. Otherwise and originally known as Shrove Tuesday – dedicated solely to stuffing your face before fasting throughout Lent. This is an innate type of love.

The love of filling up your bellies until you pass out on the sofa. And whether or not you’re giving up something for Lent, you have every right to enjoy this day. The day of the Pancake. A global treasure. (5th March)

power we hold within us. To strive for happiness and nothing less. To love each and every little part of ourselves.

Our fingertips, our home, our affinity for Dairy Milk, our obsession with Peaky Blinders. To cherish every particle of stardust that is woven together to make us. (17th Feb) Because every single person wandering this planet, no matter what day of the year it is, is brimming with love.

For somebody. Or something. Or somewhere. Or all of the above.

And above all, I hope you’re madly in love with yourself.

You should be. You’re pretty great.

St Patrick’s Day. An Irish love overflowing onto these West Midlands streets.

Wherever you venture off to celebrate; whether it’s for a pint at Solihull’s traditional Irish pub, O’Neill’s or a simple Wagamamas beside the Bullring, there will be a patriotic green haze in the air.

(17th March) World Human Spirit Day. It is essentially the ultimate act of self-love. This day is a reminder to take care of not just our bodies – which we should adore every day of the year – but our souls, too.

Our very essence and core. To allow ourselves a moment to remember the

Broken Promises and Property Rights – Where Do You Stand?

As private client solicitors, we have seen a steady rise in the number of proprietary estoppel claims brought in recent years.

What Is ‘Proprietary Estoppel’?

An Example

Broadly, this principle enables the courts to decide whether an individual has acquired a right to property because of promises made to them in the past, which they have relied upon to their detriment, in the absence of a written agreement.

Michael has two adult children, Jane and Mary. Michael becomes seriously ill and promises Jane that if she moves in with him and becomes his fulltime carer, she will inherit the family home on his death.

Jane quits her job and moves in with her father to care for him. When Michael passes away years later, his will leaves the family home to Jane’s sister, Mary.

Jane may be successful in bringing a proprietary estoppel claim, against her late father’s Estate.

In order to succeed in such a claim, three essential criteria must be met: • a representation, assurance or promise made to them • reliance upon it • detriment suffered as a result of reasonably relying upon it

A Recent Case The case of Habberfied v Habberfield was heard in Bristol earlier this year and involved a family farm and, as is often the case, a breakdown in family relationships.

MY MOSELEY & KINGS HEATH, FEBRUARY / MARCH 2019

LEGAL & FINANCIAL

WWW.VWV.COM Lucy, one of four siblings, began working full time on the farm in 1983 at the age of 16. She worked up to 87.5 hours per week and received very low pay, based on her parents’ assurances that she would eventually inherit the farm.

In 2013, following a fight with her sister, Lucy left the farm. When her father died in 2014, he left the whole of his interest in the farm to Lucy’s mother.

What Should You Do if You Find Yourself in a Similar Situation?

Lucy successfully brought a proprietary estoppel claim against her mother. The court found that various representations had been made to Lucy over an extended period. These assurances were ‘an operative cause’ of Lucy working long hours for low pay and holiday, and not pursuing her own dairy farming business. The farm was valued at approximately £2.5 million and Lucy was awarded a lump sum payment of £1.17 million as compensation rather than awarding her the whole farm to fulfil the promise.

If you find yourself in this situation our advice is that you should try to achieve a legally drafted agreement setting out the arrangement, however difficult, rather than have to rely on bringing hugely expensive court proceedings later down the line, with an uncertain outcome.

In a family relationship based on trust, it is often very hard for an adult child to demand their parent to commit a promise into a legally binding written agreement.

As a result, proprietary estoppel is a notoriously complex area of law and outcomes can be difficult to predict.

IDEAS FOR CREATING YOUR GARDEN’S VIBE...

Vibrations are the sensations we feel when our bodies are experiencing our surroundings. The vibrations of music, of conversation and on a much more subtle level, the vibe of a setting. Our favourite places to spend time give us pleasing feelings often for reasons we can’t exactly put our finger on, so we have rounded up 3 top tips for creating a wonderful vibe in your garden.

Written By Ruby Prosser

1. Contrast

2. Invitation

3. Focal point

Contrast gives your garden a burst of life and creates a beautiful setting that needs to be lived in. A great way to achieve this is to paint your wall or fence and to introduce a climbing plant with vibrant contrasting flowers that seem to jump out at you.

Aside from the occasional impulse to frolic through the flowers, there’s nothing more inviting in a garden than a comfy seat. Keeping a few pretty cushions especially for outdoor use will make it impossible to refuse even in the chilly winter months.

Having something attractive to gaze at is always an appealing proposition. This can be achieved in many ways, a water feature, a large piece of garden art, something mesmerising or thought-provoking to keep you ruminating for hours.

Have you got creative with

Smart Lighting?

Y

ou step into the bathroom after a long exhausting day, ready for a shower. You say ‘rainforest setting’, and the lighting turns to a gorgeous tropical green. Through the calming hum of running water you hear the distant sounds of toucans, macaws and capuchin monkeys echoing through the air. This is the house of the future. The very close future.

As in, you could go out and make it happen later today.

Smart lighting is any lighting that can be connected to and controlled by a smartphone or smart device.

Smart lighting has opened up so many exciting opportunities for us in the home, from offering better security measures, being more eco-friendly with tighter control of our energy consumption, to creating ambiances so beautiful you feel like you’re living in a romcom or your favourite snapchat filter.

with changes in the weather, triggering outdoor lights when it gets dark, giving you choices of thousands of colours to make your house parties extra special and so much more. Gives a whole new meaning to the words ‘living room’, right?

Imagine an ambiance setting for each household activity making it all the more enjoyable. How about a romantic low light for dinner? A mystical pink light for storytime?

With smart lighting, you can create your own bespoke light settings, and decide to change them whenever by voice command or set them to change automatically at certain times of the day.

There are so many more creative uses to be discovered, it’s still such a new technology. It seems as though the only limitation is your own imagination!
