Tomorrow I will be handing over the Created in Birmingham reigns to a new editor, Adrienne Frances. I have loved every minute of getting my hands on CiB and hope you have enjoyed reading my posts, and have forgiven any typos. Over the last five months I have played my small part in not only a thriving creative and cultural sector in Birmingham, but have got to know some of the most dedicated people in the region who are innovating the way we communicate online and off.
I will let Adrienne introduce herself properly in due course, but just to say that she was chosen as editor for her wealth of experience with the arts, her wit and for her hunger to ask the questions that need answering. You can follow Adrienne on Twitter and give her a personal welcome.
I will be going back to write about music on the Colour blog this month, organising live music events in Birmingham, and I will be popping back to CiB to post when I get the itch to write about something relevant. I will also get round to starting my own blog sometime soon as somewhere to put down my wandering thought.
Their are many CiB readers who have helped and inspired me over the last few months but to mention a few: Chris, Pete, Helga, Lyle, Katie Parry, Kay Stanley, Kasper Sorensen, Abby Corfan, Nicky Getgood, Rob at BCMG, everyone who bought tees and totes, but most of all Matthew. Thanks everyone, and so long for now!
Well, I think you’ve been a fab editor – engaging, interesting, enthusiastic … I could go on ;) I’m looking forward to carrying on reading your stuff on Colour and your own blog too (hint, hint!) – and perhaps we’ll actually meet in real life one day!
Thanks for making CiB yours during your stint as editor – can’t wait to see how it morphs again under Adrienne’s editorship.
PS It’s Parry with an ‘a’!
Sad news our kid, you’ve contributed a helluva lot to CiB – least of all the new funky format and design, and the ultracool merchandise…
Welcome Adrienne :)
Thanks for your kind words guys, much appreciated. I would have liked to have gone on a little longer but I am trying to organise my wedding for August and it is really stressful! Sorry for that Katie, I did know and I still wrote it by mistake.
Awh I’m touched you’ve mentioned me in that post Kate, thanks! I agree with the others, I’ve really enjoyed CiB under your editorship- you’ve done a great job and brought your own style and passion to the blog. Well done and good luck with the wedding planning!
VERY touched you found me ‘inspirational’ – cheers doll! Best of luck with the wedding planning, be sure to publish pics of you looking gorgeous on your big day!
Thanks for all you’ve contributed to CiB.
