With Junes comes our annual Ladies’ Day at the polo; a day of hats, high fashion, champagne, great polo and much more. Our VIP luncheon is almost sold out and this year we can expect faster action on the polo field and according to some of the ladies attending…bigger hats! If you haven’t got your tickets yet, please do email me for details.

I was mesmerised by Cillian Murphy’s blue eyes when I interviewed him on the red carpet at the Peaky Blinders series 3 premiere for my Midlands Life weekly TV show on Irish TV. It was good to see all the stars turn out and The Mailbox looking so busy – the sun even came out for the occasion too! My short interview with him is in this issue, try reading it with his lovely Irish lilt in the back of your mind…it will make a world of difference (…crush).
Paul Thandi (NEC Group) and Paul Keogh (Birmingham Airport) join Lord Digby Jones in sharing their thoughts on what makes Birmingham great this month in our feature ‘The Best of Birmingham’. From shops to restaurants, some of area’s finest are included in this feature, which should equip you with enough inspiration to pay a visit this month, if it isn’t your regular haunt. There’s also a super feature on Friar Street that touches on what this coveted address has to offer – it really is boutique shopping at its finest and all within a wonderful setting, making a perfect day out.
Sharon and Tina have been busy this month; Sharon reviewed the fine dining offering at Wood Norton, whilst Tina dropped the hood on the MINI convertible to put that through its paces and fifties’ furniture is all in fashion according to our antiques and collectables expert Will Farmer.
