The Thornton Heath Community Action Team aka THCAT, held the annual ‘In Bloom’ Garden competition, which basically judges the best looking garden in different categories of Business, Concrete Space, Front Garden and Children in the Thornton Heath area…something which I may have dismissed before, but actually really appreciate since noticing more and more flower activity popping up in random places during my daily boppage around the area.…
