Stephen O'Neil, an artist based in Mount Florida, is going to take part in his first exhibition at Montgomery's Cafe in Radnor Street in the Westend.

In my last post I said one of the perks of being a community journalist is covering community councils. This is one of the lows - I have to correct my previous post as I've spoken with Cllr Coleshill, who gave me a reason for his absence at the Mount Florida Community Council meeting.

Once upon a time, there was a traditional Mongolian Yurt set up inside Trinity Church, Govanhill for a week of stories from different faiths and cultures, which school kids flocked to from all over the land. Well, from all over G42, really.

I've been covering a few stories in two parts of G42 recently: one in Mount Florida and one in Govanhill.
