Thanks dd - love 'em :)  We live near to Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne and when we took our grandson there some years ago we saw the meerkats.  They had to build a tall hill in their enclosure so that they could use it as a lookout.

Hi Marianne - we live about 7 miles from the park actually - between St. Albans and Potters Bar.  We have some friends who own a kitchen shop up on a small shopping parade in Ware.

I am trying to rake my brains as to the whereabouts of this kitchen shop ??  Will have to have a good look and will report back !  :D ;)

Actually Marianne, my husband tells me that our friends may have stopped selling kitchens now.  Apparently the shop itself is a wallpaper/paint shop at the front with a DIY part at the back. They used to sell kitchens but may not now.  The shop is actually just through the town to a large roundabout then turn right up a steep hill and the shop is on the left in a small parade of shops.  Hope this helps you to identify the position.  Sorry to have misled you - hope this saves your sanity in trying to locate the shop ;) :)

I know where you mean now !!!  It's on the hill. 

I used to go and buy fish and chips from the chippy next door many years ago!  The shop was on a corner and I purchased quite a bit from there.

Have not been there for years !  I will have to check it out !

That has brought back so many memories !  :D ;D
