Has Spring Sprung?
Most people start to get the impression that winter is on its way out in March. This year, the weather fairies seem to have flipped a switch on the 1st March and immediately cheered everyone up with a bit of sunshine. It’s interesting though, even when one would say the weather is improving, some people…

February Favourites
February is usually pretty much the crappiest month of the year. Christmas and new year, a distant memory, while spring and the eventual arrival of the summer are most definitely a hazy dream, burst by chuffin’ freezing(ish) temperatures and rubbish train services.

This part of Kent has a strange pull on the people who grow up here.…

Whitstable beach at Sunset

Bank Holiday Music
Another bank holiday has passed us by and I got the opportunity to give my camera a rare outing. A local band, “Kellys Heros” was playing in the East Kent Pub, just round the corner from where I am now living, So I figure this would be an ideal excuse to remind myself of just…
