Sustainable Life

A fabulous time yesterday making rosehip syrup with such good company at dad's lane community centre. 😀 next up is winter lip balm making next Wednesday so book now if you haven't already!

Absolutely LOVED our willow weaving class, everyone was a blast and every basket was beautiful and unique. Massive thank you to @ampersand_projects who made it all happen! <3 #willow #weaving #courses #basketry #birmingham #stirchley

This month's special is indeed very special to us. This is a Sloe Gin and Hibiscus cocktail made with sloe gin crafted and matured since 2012. It was the highlight gin of our wedding in fact! Just in time for Valentines day ❤❤❤ #stirchley #sloes #foraged #foraging #cocktails

A glorious day in the sunshine but chilly weather yesterday with Ranger Jan in the copse cut through between cartland and riverbrook in #tenacresstirchley thankyou to everyone who came! It all got sorted in no time at all thanks to hardworking volunteers 👍

kingpet.co.uk/dog/7004881014… #KingPet Luna is in her first competition... Is she pretty enough to be a show dog?? Help us out and vote for Luna! 📷

Another great time with volunteers in Highbury clearing and tidying around the beautiful pond. Join us every Monday 10 to 2 starting at the highbury orchard

@lauracreaven @fruitnutvillage Sorry due to manic work lately I'm a bit behind on everything 😅 can you dm me some info's?

Apparently there are applications are in for Stirchley Baths, Stirchley Library, Hazelwell Allotments. Nothing for either parks. Also not sure about Rea Valley. @SusLifeUK / @fruitnutvillage anything you’ve done?

It’s the second Monday of the month and therefore it’s time for @stirchley_forum. Not to spoiler or anything but BIG NEWS that the slabs on the corner of Pershore Rd & Fordhouse Lane has been fixed (this has been noted several times).

@marylockelabour @lauracreaven @Channel4 @stirchley_forum Gorillas would have been entertaining 😂

@lauracreaven @SusLifeUK @Channel4 @stirchley_forum Change from gorilla

Look at these amazing volunteers! 👏 YOU TOO could be an amazing volunteer like this one day. All you gotta do is turn up to highbury orchard at 10am on Monday. You got this! #highburypark

Weirdest thing about being on #AloneUK is how you fall so in love with your axe that even 13 months later you get angry when people look at it funny.

The saddest thing about the edit of #ALONEUK is that they left out every single one of my #Drag Race references, and every single one of my #Taylor Swift. My son and I are massive fans of both and I promised him I’d squeeze some in. - Alan

Today volunteers cleared the gutters in highbury, which took quite some digging in places! Much better now dont you think?

Another day messing about in the bushes our volunteers make light work of this over growth. Join us every Monday between 10 and 2 starting from Highbury orchard #volunteering #highburypark

@Conor815 Alan has been asked if he'd do it again. 100% yes. he had a blast out there.

How great did Alan do on #AloneUk? If i had been completely lost in the woods like he was i would have lost my shit!

@Conor815 I was thinking they'd go out and get Tom like in the US one. I felt a bit gutted for him like @desertislandtom

"We wanted to let you know you won" #AloneUk How unceremonious 😂

@borisboboba @Conor815 All the girls were actually really cool 🥲Alan got a great edit though, and he's not complaining.

@Conor815 Best person on a really bad show. They could’ve had much better contestants than this. Snobby girls from London seem to be in vogue #AloneUK

@Crag92 We think Naomi did fantastically and showed how strong she is. It is not weakness to care about your kid more than a tv show.

Naomi should have won #Aloneuk but turns out she’s just fucking weak. Everyone has been a perpetual disappointment in this show.
