Just found your blog, it's nice to see someone else who enthuses about Folkestone. We bought a place down here in September andalso spend most of the week looking forward the Friday night dash down to Folkestone. We live near the harbour and spend the weekends trying out the pubs and restaurants. We bought our house in the belief that Folkestone is on the up, not to make a profit but because we want a slightly saner lifestyle. Hoping that at sometime in the not too distant future we will be able to find work here as well but that may take a while (we both work in music/TV biz, not much scope for that in Folkestone - yet).
Oh yes, Roger de Haan rocks!

💬 RE: Folkestone enthusiast - 8573
This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues and things, + I know it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
