The magic of autumnI love autumn. Walks in the countryside, crunching through leaves, crisp sunny days, and the perfect excuse for new clothes and boots.

And if like me you are on a budget then do the smart thing and use the cash in your wardrobe to refresh your wardrobe (and this goes for you blokes out there too).

Firstly, pull out those good quality designer and high street items you are really never going to wear again. Make sure they are clean and in perfect condition and take them along to Encore in Moseley village.Encore will review the items, price them and sell them in the shop. Then you get 50% of the sale price.

For you, it’s an opportunity to clear out the wardrobe and make some cash - at the same time as picking up something gorgeous for yourself.

Dolce & Gabbana, Karen Millen, Prada, Ghost, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Boss, Juicy Couture and Missoni are just some of the designer labels available, but you’ll also find high street labels. Prices start from as little as £10.00 for a Ralph Lauren jumper.

Half the thrill of shopping at Encore is finding beautiful clothes, but I really get my kicks out of finding a good bargain and can be found browsing the rails there at least twice a month to see what’s new.

Encore is on Alcester Rd close to the main crossroads in Moseley, next door to the Junction pub. There is ample parking in the car park just a little further along.

St Dunstan’s Open DaySt Dunstan’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery is a wonderful place for children aged 3 to 11.

St Dunstan’s is one of three parish schools in Kings Heath; St Dunstan’s, St Albans’s and Bishop Challoner Catholic College.

As St Dunstan’s School is on the same campus as Bishop Challoner Catholic College and St Dunstan’s Church children regularly take part in shared activities, masses and church celebrations.

St Dunstan’s School is a primary feeder school to Bishop Challoner Catholic College. Children benefit from a programme which provides specialist teaching in subject areas such as PE, Science and Maths.

Academic

All children thrive when they feel happy, safe and secure which is highly valued by all staff and Governors at St Dunstan’s School. Children have achieved brilliant results in the recent SATs examinations – 100% level 4 and above Maths 100% level 4 and above in Science96% level 4 and above in English.

Residential Visits

Children in Year 5 and Year 6 have the opportunity to take part in residential visits to education centres like Stansfeld and Bockleton Study Centre enabling them to experience many outdoor activities such as pond dipping, orienteering, visits to Christchurch in Oxford where Harry Potter was filmed, hill walking etc.

For the last two years a group of children have been taken skiing. Earlier this year a group Year 5 and Year 6 children went to France for a week skiing trip – next year it will be Switzerland!


PE and Sports

The school proudly holds the Activemark 2008 award for exceptional delivery of the National School Sport Strategy. Children also have regular opportunities to be taught by PE specialists and use the exceptional sports facilities of Bishop Challoner Catholic College.

Extra Curricular Clubs

St Dunstan’s has many different clubs and activities running throughout the year some including football, netball, cheerleading, multi skills, Gaelic football, dance and drama and radio club.

In June the school held a ‘ Clubs’ week where many community clubs came into school to carry out taster workshops with the children to introduce them to the many clubs and organisations within our community that they many be interested in joining. These included a street dance club, brownies, a karate club and Moseley Rugby Club as well as many others.

Music

Children are given the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument – guitar, brass, accordion and woodwind. In the summer term the parents are invited to a recital to give the children the opportunity to celebrate their achievements. The school also has a flourishing school choir who join in with many celebrations.

End of Year Production

The end of year production this year was Cinderella Rockerfella

Before and After School Club

The Orchard Club @ St Dunstan’s is on site and cares for children from 4 years of age. The club is open during the summer holidays when the children enjoy a varied programme of activities and outings.

Parent Teacher Association

The school has a thriving PTA who organise many family events such as race nights, quiz nights and discos. The most recent event was the Summer Fun in July which included go-karts, a merry-go-round, bouncy castle, stalls and barbecue. This event raised over £1000.

Your garden needs you..Just because the leaves are falling and the flowers are fading does not mean you should abandon all attention to your garden – or spring will arrive before you know it and you will kick yourself.

Autumn is the perfect time of year to start planning if you are thinking of anything from a simple garden makeover to a complete transformation.

If you need any help with design, planning or project management and you want to talk to someone local, reliable and good then Sandilands is your man (and woman).

Sandilands Gardens, a local landscape company run by Jonathan and Tina Sandilands has been renovating and transforming gardens all over the South Birmingham area since 1998.

Jonathan, has developed the company by combining his love for plants with a real talent for design and hard landscaping. Along with his wife Tina and two other staff members the Sandilands team thrive on adding life to tired gardens, working along with their clients to provide a sustainable garden for all the family to enjoy.

Below shows a lovely garden at 155 Russell Road in Moseley that Sandilands has redesigned and built over the last two summers. For the owner Lyn Field, it has been

quite a life changing adventure. “I was so bored with my garden, but I just didn’t know where to start. Jonathan has an amazing eye and his design has literally changed my life.”

“I am out everyday tending to my raised beds, feeding my Chickens, and enjoying the endless run of colour in the borders. The stunning lighting he has had fitted brings the garden to life at night too, which is great for entertaining, especially now with so many options for where to go..like the new terraces, woodland path and my favourite bit which has to be the quiet arbour Jonathan built, where I can read a book and overlook my lovely new garden! We are so glad we had it all done”

Jonathan and Tina and their team are based in King’s Heath but work all over South Birmingham in Edgbaston, Harborne, Moseley and Solihull.

Moseley in Bloom wins Gold againMoseley was given a gold award for the fourth time at The Heart of England in Bloom Awards Ceremony on 15 September and was also named Best in the Urban Communities category, thanks to the tireless hard work of an army of local volunteers.

Moseley was also presented with a silver award at the national finals held in September and Jan Millar was given an RHS Britain in Bloom Community Champion Award.

Throughout the summer Moseley Village has put on stunning floral displays to be enjoyed by all. But there is much more to Moseley in Bloom than first meets the eye.

Moseley in Bloom began in 2004 with a small group of people aiming to make Moseley cleaner and greener. Since then it has grown and developed and so far, Moseley in Bloom has won four Gold Awards in the RHS Heart of England in Bloom campaign and two Silver Gilts in the National Britain in Bloom awards.

Moseley in Bloom was also awarded a Certificate of Merit in 2009 for the makeover at the old Meteor car showrooms. Moseley residents picked runner beans from the crops growing on the security fencing round this site, a few yards from the high street. That project is now over as the developers will soon move in. One of the highlights of the year, now

well established in Moseley’s social calendar, was the Open Gardens Weekend in June.

Fifteen private gardens opened as well as Moseley’s historic Dovecote, the gardens at Headway in Moseley Hall Hospital and the garden at the Grange, sheltered housing. Billesley Lane and Moor Green allotments at Cannon Hill Park were also open. There were plant sales, teas and musicians.

Residents and visitors to Moseley have said they believe Moseley in Bloom makes Moseley a more pleasant place to live.
