churches
http://www.saintpaulbrum.org
St Paul's Church in the centre of Birmingham, England. St Paul's is in the Jewellery Quarter, a busy area dedicated to jewellery making, and other arts and media industries. There is also a growing number of apartment blocks in renovated historic buildings. The church is set in a timeless Georgian square, with rolling lawns and tree-lined walks. Green spaces are rare in cities - we think St Paul's Square is one of the most beautiful. The church is a place for prayer, and of great historical interest.

music studios
http://www.madhouserehearsals.com
The Madhouse is a purpose built 12 room facility in the heart of Birmingham designed by musicians with fellow players in mind. For instance, all our rooms are on one level and feature foot operated locking mechanisms on each external door. All our rooms are fitted with exactly the same, brand new, backline. So, if you love the sound in room 2, but can't get it at the time slot you require, no problem! The sound in room 6 is (almost) identical. And even if you're new to all this, don't be put off! The Madhouse is a place for musicians of all abilities and genres, owned and run by Roy & Jaci Davis . Our friendly and experienced staff are always on hand to help you out setting up and getting started (some have spent years on the road doing exactly that for top artists, so it's unlikely you'll have a problem they can't help you with) We also stock a full range of spares, all the kind of things that have the habit of breaking during a rehearsal like strings and sticks. Your safety always comes first with us. Madhouse Rehearsal Studios has full public liability, and all of the correct health and safety regulations. All of our plug sockets have a built in circuit breaker, a device that will disconnect the ac supply if the current flow in the active (live) conductor is not exactly matched by that in the neutral, so you're always safe from an electric shock. We've already told you The Madhouse was designed by musicians with musicians in mind, but it's worth mentioning that this philosophy goes beyond the technical. It's the spirit of The Madhouse and the biggest difference between us and our competition. We actively encourage the musical community to use The Madhouse as a place to get together, plan gigs, and share things like ideas and all that useful information that we've picked up during our careers. We also encourage education, as we firmly believe that the best place to learn to be a true musician or performer is a place that is full of them. Where else would you find so many musicians in one place? Well, a Madhouse of course.....

Longing for more leisure time? Juggling too many tasks & chores? No time to relax? If you work long hours and have a busy life, it makes sense that you would want to make the most of what little leisure time you do have to relax and enjoy yourself. Wouldn’t it be great to offload the time consuming chores and make your life simpler and easier? Delegate your to do list and spend more time doing the things you enjoy Time Managers is a lifestyle management company that was founded by Anna Sands a former school teacher and Caroline Harris who worked previously as a Recruitment Manager. At work we both enjoyed successful careers and felt in control, however, outside of work we were juggling an ever-growing list of tasks we didn’t have the time or necessarily the inclination to do. Talking to colleagues, friends and family made us realise that we were not alone in our situation and it was at this point we decided to set up Time Managers. The concept behind Time Managers is simple; we do all the jobs that you don’t have the time to do yourself. We want our clients to enjoy what free time they have in the evenings and at weekends. Nobody likes coming home from a hard days work knowing that they have a pile of ironing and the cleaning to do before they’ve even checked to see if they have any food in the fridge. Using a lifestyle management company is one way that people can redress their work-life balance in their favour. Given the choice most people would prefer to be out socialising, enjoying time with the kids or on the golf course and not stuck doing the supermarket shop or spending hours looking for the ideal gift as a birthday present. Time Managers work on an hourly basis with no membership fees – you use us when you feel you need an extra pair of hands.

To die intestate (without Writing a Will) can produce untold problems for those left behind.
