Wishing my Dad every success for his book launch at the mighty Shababs tonight. Dad might just have been the original Birmingham food blogger- he’s blogged about Balti for over 35yrs. The new book charts it all to today where he continues to blog and campaign for its recognition.

If you're a #leaseholder affected by the #BuildingSafetyCrisis, pls do consider listening to the radio on 4 Sept & calling in to phone-in shows to tell your story. The country will be listening tomorrow. Do not suffer in silence, let's shout about this injustice till govt acts.
