Dover to Folkestone train line reopens 5th September

House hunt

Two houses today in Canterbury, different parts of town, but with things in common. For starters, both too expensive really at 250k each. If the market really is tumbling we might be able to make a cheeky offer on just about anything we see now thoug...

Dover???

Damn, missed that show, it was all about buy to let / second homes anyway wasn't it?Folkestone has risen in price too much over the past four years to make it a bargainous buy to let - the rental value of my place would not cover my mortgage, though ...

Ah Dover was thrown in as a bit of a gamble

A High Risk says the Where Best To Invest website:3000 new jobs could be created by a �100 million expansion of the White Cliffs Business Park, but it all rests on whether a certain DIY store decides to relocate. Even without the investment, house pr...

Kirstie and Phil tip DOVER!

No not "tipped over", they recommend Dover as a good place to invest, they say it's a high risk investment though... indeed, buy in Folkestone instead!...

RE: Kirstie and Phil tip DOVER!

Hello PaulyI'm another Manchester bod who wants to come and live in Folkestone. Whilst I get myself sorted, I'm thinking of buy-to-letting, but I'm unsure whether there is any demand for rental property in Folkestone yet. Lettings agents won't really...

Oh no, that's good for Dover

but with Dover being so much cheaper everyone who might have bought in Folkestone will buy there instead, and our property values won't go up as much!Actually the leaflet we picked up on the train this week indicated the high speed link will be servi...

Gig guide from this week in 1981!

so it wasn't all big name indie bands playing the Metronome every night as I've been led to believe... here's a fascinating republication of gig listings from 1981, from the good people at kentgigs.com. Don't forget my Folkestone gig guide though.We ...

Worth a trip to Dover for

Went to Blakes yesterday, what an amazing place! Really looking forward to going back next week to eat there, just drank very fine beer this time.There's not much on their website, but if you look here looks like there's meant to be more to it......

Westmount burns

BBC has details of this derelict building on Folkestone Road burning. No news yet as to whether it was arson or not, but it's the second major fire in Dover his week, after St Martin's church also burned....

Kent TV vs Your Kent TV

Now some confusion has been cleared up for me, there are two of these youtube.com copyist sites around at the moment, both just launched at the same time, kenttv.com launched by the council and run in some way by Bob Geldof, and also yourkenttv.co.uk...

Beer and rugby

Got a good weekend lined up I think, not going to Canterbury this week, though I will be in a Canterbury frame of mind as I'm seeing a mortgage advisor Saturday morning to see what we can do. Then, it's Dover beer festival, either going there at lunc...

Beer festival on today in Dover

Mmmm, beer festival, at the town hall, starts today but is also on tomorrow, hope there's some beer left.The Easter Ales Festival is back in Chambers in a few weeks too, over the, uh, Easter weekend. See you there....

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

Apologies, I was drunk when I posted that

It's fairly local, that's the exciting thing. The likes of Ricky Gervais, visiting our humble county, whoever would have imagined such a thing....

Rocket man lands in Dover today

Swiss jet pack flyer Yves Rossy had to postpone yesterday's attempted personal jet crossing of the channel, but with any luck he'll be landing in Dover today, so look out for him, keep your heads down! The Guardian has more, or (sorry I'm in a hurry)...

My family History

Hi I am intereted in genealogy and have recently found out from my brother that he used to dance at Leas Cliff Hall in the 50s when he was stationed at Dover while serving in the York and Lancs reg, coincidentally my father told him he did the same t...

Not Dover beer festival

Tried to go to the winter ales festival in Dover last night, but failed. Couldn't get there early enough, so we had to queue, and didn't fancy that much. We waited about half an hour, but it was one in one out. Didn't think many people would be leavi...

Allotment: very good!

Went to Allotment in Dover last night and it was great! We booked a week in advance and gave notice that there was a vegan on the way and they were very accomodating. I had onion soup as a starter, and a spicy bean casserole for my main, both good. B...

The rest of the weekend

As mentioend we went to Allotment and it was very good, we say we're going back there again as soon as possible, but then we do tend to say that about places, and we only go out about once a year, so we'll see just how soon it is that we get there.Th...

Saw a GREAT house at the weekend

But boo, it was too small! I've decided this is my ideal location in Canterbury though, just off Old Dover Road, everything just looks nice. This was actually on between Old Dover Road and New Dover Road. This house is under budget, three bedrooms, n...

Woohoo booked into The Allotment for Friday night

I think I deserve it... will obviously report back with another review!

Someone just tried to add this "dover to st pancras"

we are getting off a ship in Dover at 5:30 am we catch the Chunnel to Paris at 10:35. Can we make it. How do we make it. Is there a train. Is there a fast train,Guess that means this site is confusing to use. Odd sort of journey though, can you not g...

#uksnow CT20 4/10

Snow on the car this morning, not actually much in Folkestone, but there was plenty nearby. We were on our way to water babies in Ashford here, though got a call on the way to say it was cancelled because of the weather. So we went for a drive anyway...
