*****UNDER CONSTRUCTION**********

This is the county in which I live, grew up, and have so far spent most of my adult life.

I think that when you live somewhere, you do tend to take it for granted, I know that I do! And I diddnt appreciate the beauty in which I am surrounded by everyday until I saw it through different eyes...When I was living in Ireland I came home for a weekend...I appreciated and took in my surroundings more in that weekend that I had in 20 years!

Now, Ive been back here living for 3 years, and that feeling of taking everything around me for granted is creeping back again.....so now I walk around places and act like I have never been there before! I spend time looking at things that usually I just rush past in everyday life......we all do it.....sometimes we just need to stand still...just for a few minutes....and take it all in...

*******UNDER CONSTRUCTION***********

It will take me awhile to build this page, but I am going to start!

My biggest page, that you may have already found if you are planning on visiting Kent is my Canterbury page.
This is where I grew up, and I work there still, I will obviously duplicate some of that page here, but for specific detailed information on Canterbury...you will find more on my Canterbury page.

I live on the coast at the moment, surrounded by some beautiful countryside and great beaches, I am going to take the time to get out to these places more and take piccies to share....due to too many hours at work! This may take some time....so please bear with me!

********UNDER CONSTRUCTION************

I am likely to focus mainly on the area of East Kent as this is the area that I know well, in time as I build this page it will include brief information and piccies on the folowing places -

Whitstable
Herne Bay
Birchington On Sea
Westgate On Sea
Margate
Broadstairs
Ramsgate
Sandwich
Canterbury
Faversham
Ashford

if you have any questions regarding Kent as all...please feel free to mail me and I will help you!

    Nice page on a bit of England I need to see more of! I've been to Herne Bay a few times on business, but I had never even heard of Saare before - it looks lovely!
