Rest and "rest" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about rest. If you have something to contribute concerning rest that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubbing or other places it will only return rest pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try rest on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...
