Oh the unbridled excitement of living in Kent - Page 2

Nice

What year was that? I always remember the deep snows we used to get in Kent with fondness, lucky if a few inches fall in a year on the Suffolk coastline here.

That would have been either 1984 or 1985. We got married August '86 at nearby Shipbourne Church.

Showed this to my friend that lives in Deal, Kent.
She was not surprised

I'll bet that made you laff, didn't it? Different if it had been yours, though...

NAH! With my cholesterol and anti-messiah complex...I'd have seen it as a sign from Wakan Tanka

Tonbridge Castle: long in the memory for me.

I took this photo of the gatehouse about eight years ago; the little squirrel fella on the left was snapped in the grounds on the same day.

Always enjoyed a trip to Bodiam castle, and Hever was quite lovely too, the fish in the moat were very impressive and had to have been worth a few grand.

Meanwhile, getting a bit back to the OPs intentions, feast your eyes upon this journalistic masterpiece:

Including such awe-inspiring journalism as:

"Kent did suffer some damage from the volcano..."

Ashford high street...

A favourite place to visit for me too: most people's idea of what a medieval castle should be. The castle featured in the 1954 film "Men of Sherwood Forest" with Don Taylor, described by one reviewer as "humdrum", but which is in fact one of my favourites.

It's very eerie now to move around within the walls and see, for instance, the place where Robin Hood dropped down and made his dramatic escape after dark along with Friar Tuck.

Now, incongruosly in the bright sunshine of a warm Summer afternoon, an old lady sits on the same spot, nibbling on her sandwich, while nearby stands a little boy, my son, picking his nose...
