This weekend we were back at Dads Lane Community Association - lured in part by the cookies Steve's wife Jo had baked for us that morning! The renovation of this community space in Stirchley is nearly finished, but that meant lots of rubbish in the back garden that needed to be shifted into a skip*.

Iain, Sofeen, James, Steve (a trustee for the association) and I all pitched in to move a huge pile of damp plasterboard, broken bricks and other rubble into the skip. In doing so we unearthed something of an ecosystem: worms, spiders, woodlice and even a frog*.

We're looking forward to seeing the next phase of the DLCA centre!

*Hence the pun
