Welcome to J’AIME<br />
As the coronavirus crisis continues to affect daily<br />
life for us all, we bring you J’AIME’s ‘lockdown<br />
special’ - an issue packed with inspirational<br />
stories and ideas to enjoy during these most<br />
strange of times.<br />
One of the most striking positives to come out<br />
of the pandemic has definitely been the sense<br />
of community togetherness, and we’ve been<br />
hearing so many stories of ordinary people<br />
doing extraordinary things to help and support<br />
others - a handful of which are highlighted on<br />
our pages.<br />
We also chat to the Birmingham REP’s new<br />
artistic director, Oliver Award-winning writer,<br />
director and actor Sean Foley, about the affect<br />
the pandemic has had on the theatre industry<br />
and how they are working through the crisis,<br />
while personal trainer Raul Romero takes a<br />
look at virtual workouts where you can workout<br />
together, at home.<br />
If you’re missing dining out and craving a bit of<br />
lockdown luxury - and after all, who isn’t?! - then<br />
we’ve got the perfect competition for you. We’ve<br />
teamed up with local fine dining specialists Sauce<br />
Supper Club and top chef Tom Shepherd to<br />
bring you an ‘at home’ fine dining experience for<br />
two worth £75, as well as a bottle of handpicked<br />
Worth Brothers wine to complete the ultimate<br />
lockdown foodie experience.<br />
And if you’re not lucky enough to scoop this<br />
fantastic prize, then you can console yourself<br />
with an indulgent pud courtesy of MasterChef:<br />
The Professionals winner Laurence Henry,<br />
which you can whip up at home.<br />
Remember, with this online version you can click<br />
directly through to all websites mentioned from<br />
our pages and adverts - while many physical<br />
shops and showrooms are currently closed, you<br />
can still browse our advertisers’ wares online, so<br />
why not take a look?<br />
We hope to be back printing and delivering<br />
J’AIME soon, but in the meantime follow us on<br />
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for the latest<br />
updates. Stay home, and stay safe!<br />
