As a boy, I grew up in a place called Broxbourne, Hertfordshire – UK! Yeah Baby!
Lovely part of Herftfordshire and if my memory serves me correctly, a few famous footballers live there too…

With country surrounds, broxbourne is truely a cool place to live!

I went to visit my parents a few weeks back, my Dad was doing the gardening and required another bag of compost – he was was laying the flower beds, ready for this summer…

I took a drive over to the Chime Centre – the garden centre had gone! Why was I not told!

In fact, there was a new garden centre – due to be open soon (i was told), but not open yet… Mmm.. Not good news for me

There are a few shops now in the place of the old Chime garden centre – a granite worktops supplier and factory, a dog grooming clinic, a flower shop and a fireplace showroom. Wow! How the place has changed eh!

The granite worktop supplier also supply stones for garden patios – it’s interesting what you find on your travels eh? I needed my garden patio resurfacing and they were willing to give me a good price (theres always a reason I go to places) And they did too!

Anyway, I did get my compost! I ended up getting it from the Van Hage garden centre – i did have to travel a little further, but hey I got what I needed in the end!

I say in the end – lol – my dad had packed up and gone in for tea by the time I returned with his mud

Just thought I’d share this thought with you all…

Ciao!
