By Lisa Rowley One of my favourite times of the year is fast approaching when young and old get the chance to shout and join in with a sing-song at the theatre. It’s behind you! Oh no it’s not! Yes, it’ll soon be panto season. I always look forward to what our theatres in Shropshire come up with to draw […]

Safe in the knowledge that my child is safe

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Kirsty Smallman My boys both love to travel in the car, especially if it’s a long journey as it usually means we are going somewhere exciting, such as camping or visiting a friend. As a mum to a two-year-old and four-year-old, I am always well prepared with a wide variety of toys, snacks, music and games to keep them […]

On the move with Wrekin Removals

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Rhea Alton I’m no stranger to moving, in fact in the last three years my husband and I have lived in four houses. We moved from a two-bed terrace to a three-bed house in the country, then packed the home into storage and moved in with family for a few months, unpacked into a three-bed semi in a village […]

Gadgets, gardens and gourmet – Grand Designs Live had it all

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Kirsty Smallman Toastie bags, mobile phone holder, hose pipe nozzle, photoframes, gourmet cheese grater, children’s books, stir-fry sauces, handmade chocolates and a gazebo – no not a list from the Generation Game but the contents of the carrier bags I arrived home with from Grand Designs Live at Birmingham’s NEC yesterday. And that didn’t include the endless list of […]

Breastfeeding in public….where to look?

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By J&PR director Rhea Alton Breastfeeding is in the news again after a mum was asked by a train conductor to feed her child in the toilet. And I can totally understand the mum being upset and her reasons for not wishing to feed her child in the tiny toilet compartment of a moving train. But I also understand the […]

Why learning to Tweet could help your business make new friends

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

Small businesses everywhere use Twitter to connect with existing and new customers. But it’s not just about increasing sales. It’s about fun, support, information sharing and making new friends. It’s a quick and easy way to tell people your news, receive customer feedback, market your product and interact with your customers. And it’s exciting. At J&PR, we know why Twitter […]

Welcoming a new member to the J&PR team

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

It’s not often that the whole J&PR team comes together face to face so we were all very excited about a working lunch organised by our managing director Rhea Alton. But, as Rhea was nine months pregnant, we decided to hijack the event and turn it into a surprise baby shower with her friends at SoFood! Diner, Maple House, Telford. […]

Panto time kicks off in Telford – Cinderella will go to the ball.

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

Christmas officially arrived for me today as the first panto performance of the season kicked off at The Place in Oakengates, Telford. As a family with a three-and-a-half-year-old and a 20-month-old, we joined hundreds of schoolchildren from across the county to watch Cinderella. With flamboyant costumes and a show packed full of quality singing and dancing including a special song […]

Kevin Bl*ody Wilson – hilarious, filthy, non-PC and I loved it! Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

I have a confession. Until last night I was a Kevin Bl*ody Wilson virgin. That’s right I’d never seen him on tour, watched his DVD or read his book. At Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury last night as the majority of the audience joined in with the singing (and they weren’t the conventional words I knew!) it was clear I was […]

Tick tock – time machine experience for toddler audience at Theatre Severn.

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

Taking a three year old and 18 month old to a theatre for a 90 minute show may sound like a nightmare to some parents but if you have read my previous blogs on Eddie and Archie’s experiences at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury then you’ll know what they do. They don’t talk, don’t move and simply nod when we check […]
