FOLKESTONE, KENT UK

SUNNY SANDS I thought I would give you a little insight into the coastal town where I live, we are down on the southeast coast and the closest point to France. Many ferries go from Dover to Calais or Boulogne, we also have the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone where you drive onto a train and that takes you under the water to France.  The Euro-Star did stop at Ashford which is 20 minutes up the M20.

HELLO FEBRUARY 2021

A nice short month so we are getting closer to spring. Are you filling in a diary this year?  A friend told me that she has written down every day since corona started about how she felt, the main headlines, and what she did. What a brilliant idea as this will all go down in history for our grandchildren. Got some great book reviews coming this month also some products that I have tested. We also have Valentine’s Day, I always wish for a card but being single it rarely comes true, and to be honest, I don’t want all…
