We've just had some work done in our garden by Al, [email protected]


He replaced part of our fence, built a retaining wall for the garden, laid foundation and new paving all over. The finish was far better than we could have expected. Amazing attention to detail and a real pleasure to watch someone take so much pride over their work to make sure its perfect. He was very tidy and kept everything clean, pretty difficult considering half the garden had to be carried through the house. Would definitely recommend AL to anyone that needs a great job done, I have already passed on his details to 4 friends/family. And, the real bonus, the price is so much more competitive than other local firms - by a considerable margin - get a quote and see! Really friendly guy, top work AL.

Al (Vavabloom Gardens) has also just recently finished a landscaping job for me too. He stripped the entire garden, laid a brick-edged path, new turf, flower beds and, best of all, created some beautiful steps and raised vegetable beds out of railway sleepers. As with the post above, Al had to take all the materials through the house which included significant amounts of soil, gravel, bricks, bark chippings, railway sleepers, and turf - not to mention a cement mixer! Despite this, there was minimum disruption and he managed to keep it all very tidy.


I would definitely recommend Al - very professional, friendly, conscientious and with competitive prices.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
