@BalsallHeathLHS Thanks! It’s amazing how well #vintagesewing machines stand the test of time. Just a bit of oil and a lot of elbow grease and it was running smoothly again. Thanks so much for donating it to the @OldPrintWorks

A little parable on the importance of giving really good instructions

Thanks to all those that came to our #DailyThread #workshop on Saturday. Some lovely unique and #reusable white and red #poppies were made to remember the war dead and promote peace. Missed out? Come along this Thursday, for another chance to make a #poppy. #communitytextiles

Anyone considering lighting a Bon fire over the next few days please take a moment to consider 🦔. Don’t build your Bon fire until shortly before you light it & when you do only light one corner first to give these guys a chance to get up & escape. Have a safe weekend all 👍

@Helenmary77 How lovely! 🐔 They look like such characters. Are they from the #britishhenwelfaretrust? Can I come round to meet them soon? #freerange

[Selina Bamforth @SelinaBamforth]

I know that growing #cucurbits takes minimal skill or planning, but so proud of these amazing #bushmarrows. Prolific crops from one plant. Delicious and underrated. #growyourown

[Selina Bamforth @SelinaBamforth]

@OldPrintWorks @openstudiosbham A great event today at #theoldprintworks. And yes, the cakes in the #DailyThread #communitytextiles space were delicious!

[Selina Bamforth @SelinaBamforth]

Amazed by the vigour of our #kurisquash on #Springfieldallotments in #Birmingham. All that growth over a 5 week period! Can’t wait for the harvest. #growyourown

So enjoyed seeing my friend @beccysallen be installed and inducted as the #newpriest at St Columba’s Church in #BannersGate last night. And the #teaparty afterwards was excellent! Congratulations Beccy x

[Selina Bamforth @SelinaBamforth]

@beccysallen Good luck! Will your welcome service be on the 22nd July? Looking forward to see you at your ‘inauguration’ next week 😊

[Hannah Greenwood @onepersontrying]

Enjoying the serenity of the #terrace at @OPWTransfer #coworking space and the great mini-crops including these beautiful #purplepeas, thanks to hard work from @patrickwillcock & @SelinaBamforth and some seedlings last year from @MoseleyFarmMkt

[Hannah Greenwood @onepersontrying]

Really stressful cycle tonight, including @WMPolice officers' asking us to cycle single file on narrow stretch of Wake Green Road. Shocked and disappointed. Not the best way to encourage #cycling in Birmingham. #notpolicy #dangerous @CycleSouthBrum https://t.co/AAZBfjOQaD

[Selina Bamforth @SelinaBamforth]

@HannahGreenish @WMPolice @CycleSouthBrum Agree - @WMPolice should be encouraging #safecycling. Asking us to #cycle single file on a narrow road when they should be targeting drivers overtaking unsafely. 😡

Would you like us to run a #DrBike event in your community space this summer? PM us to discuss the idea! @stannespri @ascensioncofe @BalsallHeathCF @BOSFonline @down_at_the_Res @park_hollies @Colmore_Junior @KingHeathRanger @Umberslade_QAC @qb_sch @QuakerPeaceHub @DadsLaneAllo
