There's been talk in the D.T. about the pot hole situation.

The R.A.C. says Chesterfield is not solving the pot hole problem fast enough {or well enough} Chesterfield Council are hitting back saying they are doing a good job, I know which one I believe!!

Apparently Chesterfield now has the dearest parking charges in Derbyshire, even some of the counties well known tourist spots charge less {and in some cases parking is free}.

Our garden is mainly lawn these days with trees around all sides.
I use planters for my flowers and herbs, it's easy maintenance.

During the winter I lost what I'll call a Broom bush when the wind actually uprooted it, despite efforts to settle it back into the ground it's obviously dead!

I've bought another to replace and it will go with the other bushes I have which give good ground cover in that top corner of the garden, and so cut down on garden work, I've bought few bedding plants as well.

I also have an old tin bath which I use for flowers, this is my youngest brothers corner who died in 2014.
The blue bells and other spring flowers are out now giving a smattering of colour.

I'm looking forward to a decent summer!

There's NOWT there  -

Yes rare rocks and mineral type stuff like blue john stone and stuff like that, I used to look in the window at some of the prices, no wonder they closed, besides I never saw a customer in there.
Also the shop opposite that used to be Greenwoods is obviously planning to re open. I don't know what it's going to open as they've put shutter up on the inside, who knows it may open as a gents outfitters {again}

My guess is another barbers!

Ahhh yes I know the one you mean now - I was thinking of  something with Chesterfield Ghost town running through it!!

I'll stick to petrol, although i may lose my licence as I have cataracts which 'may' be ready for  taking off next year - now that will be interesting
