    Hello all. I live in Essex-on-sea. I am an old bird and have been gardening forever. Looking forward to some gardening chat and advice. (never too old to learn)

                            My old 'stomping' ground. Reared in Benfleet. :)

                            I heard the Kursaal was going to be reinstated, has that happened @Emaggie ?

                            No Sheal. I can’t see it happening anytime soon. It’s wasteland now, although the Kursaal itself still stands and is used.
                            We do have Adventure Island next to the pier if it’s thrilling rides you’re after...:hapydancsmil:
