Great Service, Excellent Product!
After giving up on queueing for compost at the Warehouse, I suddenly remembered we had a local supplier in Shannon. So a quick search on Neighbourly tracked him down.
The supplier's name is Gareth Parlato. A couple of text messages later and the product was delivered the same day. Unlike the Warehouse compost which usually stinks to high heaven and is not totally composted, this product is gold. It is beautiful to work with, has no smell, and the texture is beyond compare. You could easily use it for seed raising. The bags are much heavier and are 40L. If you are a keen gardener like me, check him out. You will be impressed! I was.

Cameron House (0896-1) the view from the front:
Last week I referred to this house as owned originally by a Capt. Cameron. However, when Joanna Baylis described the decades of personal experiences in the house, I've left the Captain's name out of the title. Joanna wrote:
"This is my grandparents old house from Wanganui. It was built at Wicksteed St and they lived there for decades. We spent many years visiting for holidays, weekends and Christmas. Their name was Cameron and they were school teachers. When they sold, it was purchased for a commercial office and called Cameron House. Then years later it was relocated. Not sure who Captain Cameron is but I'm sure my grandfather would be chuffed and amused. This is a beautiful old home."
Thank you Joanna!
