Tasty changes
A flat-capped Glynn Purnell was at last night's launch of the countdown to this July's Taste of Birmingham festival.
And it's good to hear that now the event is being managed by Marketing Birmingham rather than a London organisation, he's agreed to take part.
He took to the stage with Simpson's executive chef Luke Tipping to say a few words.
It was a pleasant event at University College Birmingham and attracted the great and good from this city's culinary scene, including the guys from Lasan, David Colcombe from Opus, representatives from Asha's and others.
There'll be a lot of changes at this summer's ToB, including free entry for youngsters.
Taste's an event I've always enjoyed and with the buzz going around last night, it promises to be better than ever.
And after three years during which the heavens have opened, my money is on 2009's event being celebrated in scorching weather.
But, then, as a Bluenose I'm prone to wild bouts of optimism....
