New Romney Visit

Forgot the normal morning gif - on well. I decided to do the last remaining charity shop in the Romney Marsh area, which i could not do when i did Hythe due to lack of time. This was at New Romney ,which i have just completed,and then had a pint of Gadds No.5 (4.4 % ABV) at another new micro pub,The Smugglers Alehouse. The name is redolent of days of yore when smuggling from the continent was big business. I wonder if it still is?

Romney itself is in the sticks,in the wild so to speak.A few miles from Dungeness and the nuclear power station. This is also the area where the cancelled RSPB shop job visit i was going to do last week.The reserve is easy to get to via the 11 bus from Ashford or the 102 bus from Folkestone.

Anyway,i bought three paperbacks for £4.50. Details later.

I am now travelling on the Stagecoach 101 bus to Folkestone (the route is known as the Wave).This bus has the latest tech on them such as UDB charging points for your mobile phone and free on board WiFi.

I have some pics to load up and will do in my next post when i reach Folkestone or Canterbury.

Graffiti Art in Sittingbourne

Yesterday, whilst strolling through Sittingbourne making the mist of a rare moment of sunny spells,i stumbled on some graffiti art - and as i use to snap much of it in Brighton - it was quite consoling to know that the art is alive here in this sleepy hollow of Kent.

Sending Good Thoughts to Phoenixdragon

Man, i just listened to Mandy's latest vidpost (a_phoenixdragon and i just really feel for her and their situation, and it pisses off so much that in the so called rich nation of the USA cannot do more for her, as she is part of the deserving poor,the ordinary workers, that Trump supposedly won his election on to make the "US great again".

Once again,the ugly side of capitalism works against the ordinary worker just wanting a decent living wage.

Birthday Party Bash

What was the best present you've ever received?

What kind of cake did you usually have at your party?

Did you have 2 separate parties: one for family, one for friends?

Do you still have birthday parties?
