In a neat example of symmetry last time we interviewed Bromie chef Glynn Purnell he was heading up a new restaurant, Jessica's, and excited about a future that would shortly deliver a Michelin star and had already granted AA Newcomer of the Year and promotion for his beloved Birmingham City.
Well speaking to him this week and coming full circle, Purnell was talking once again about an exciting new restaurant - this time his own called Purnell's, which is due to open in July - and looking forward to a season of top flight football after Birmingham's promotion back into the Premiership.
Not a bad time to be in Birmingham I suspect and of course wish both parties success in their endeavours.
It'll be interesting to see if Steve Bruce and his boys can match the ambition and ability of Purnell but at least the manager and ex Manchester United star will have a new venue to celebrate/commiserate in as the football season unfolds from August.
