Compost’s Corner

Welcome to Henri Compost’s Blog

Assorted oddments, articles, features, short stories, plays, off-the-beaten-track reviews, personal stories and anecdotes, travel diaries, the occasional poem or just an idea to be toyed with… it’s all to be found here, feel free to browse!

Question is, will the scraps thrown onto this ever-growing heap start to germinate and take root or will they end up simply being left to rot?

Henri works as an IT consultant. Born up north and raised in the UK but now living in continental Europe, he considers himself Multi-European. He’s not overly political. Nor particularly religious. He just likes to write stuff.

Please leave a comment if you find yourself enjoying his (com)posts and would like to see more.

Oh, and by the way, it’s not his real name. But you knew that already.
