With the news that Moseley In Bloom has once again won gold in the Urban Village With An M In The Name category (we really don’t know what the category is) it looks like we’ll be looking for a new challenge. This is the seventh time that Moseley in Bloom have scooped the award due to the bold use of hanging baskets and possibly the tidiest car park this side of Bath.
Moseley in Bloom have now posed a challenge to Birmingham alchemists to produce a new base metal, more valuable than gold, by which they can be judged. They told us “We’re bored of gold, it has literally no value to us any more. We want to win something more valuable than gold, we want to win something that is not even possible in nature, something so light that it floats but so dense that it weighs more than a City. But it must be valuable, it must be very valuable. Then we’ll win that and all the other Urban Villages, whether they’ve got an M in their name or not, will know that we have the prettiest flowers.”
Many commentators believe that Moseley in Bloom’s attempts to defy both nature and the will of God is reckless.
Something worth more than Gold would be greater support from the businesses in Moselley. We are not bored with Gold but exasperated that Moseley continues to be plagued with litter and dumped rubbish. We are in fact wondering whether we can continue in our efforts.
It’s a good job that one of our Councillors is the Minister for bins then.
Kings Heath is better than Moseley for floral displays. Here is a picture of a guitar-based floral display in Kings Heath outside the old Cash Convertor. That one that burned down, you will recall. U2 and Elvis both played there, you know.

Tell that to the judges.
But we don’t have that sort of money. Displays like that are very expensive
That’s interesting Carol. Maybe we could have clean-up moseley day? There was a worldwide event recently doing just that , that maybe it could be tied in to?
Yes, clean up Moseley would be good, but not just once a year. Every two weeks, volunteers clean up in the Car Park and around the village . The next date will be 9 November. Perhaps we will see you there. 10am in the Car Park
