Thanks folks I do my Disabled Don Blog and also Promote Thanet Blog. They keep me sane or rather sanish if there is such a word. I have just said good bye to Heather Aunt and Uncle they wanted us to both go with them to have a meal at the Hotel they are staying at but I was bushed so we stayed home. I blogged about the hotel on my Promote Thanet Blog. Its what I do.
Hey Don! You’re an Man of Kent! I’m a Kentish Man (from near Dartford) but I love East Kent lots. We moved away 32 years ago now, but still miss it, especially the sea. I met my wife at (what was then) UKC, we lived in Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham, and I did my teaching practices in Broadstairs and Ramsgate. I played football for the Royal Dragoon pub in Canterbury. Your blog brought it all back- plus of course it is a good read which I hope can raise awareness of the issues of living with disability. I’ll be bookmarking it! Cheers Kev
Thanks Kev I love the sea and go to see it most days, I have the theory you can always see ten ships off Margate so am often seen scouring the horizon for the last elusive one. Where snouts were you in Faversham? I originate from Faversham my wife’s a Margate girl and we have been in Thanet for 30 years or more now. Glad you like the blogs. Time for ZZZ’S
We lived in a tiny terraced house in Cyprus Road, opposite the park and very near the Market Inn. There was tin chapel on the corner. It was the first house we bought, and we had three great years in it. We could walk along our road to the Creek and look at the sprits’l barges. Crikey I miss the sea! We are as far as you can get from it here. We were planning to retire seawards. Not sure we can do it now. Kev
Mac it’s dependent on where you were born north or south of the river Medway I have no idea which is which. I was born in the South 58 years ago and have checked it out numerous times but can’t remember.
It is to do with the Medway, but that runs northwards from Maidstone to the Thames. So it’s Men of Kent to the East, and Kentish Men to the West. History of Kent - Wikipedia Kentish Kev
