Hellfire Corner

by Elodie_Caroline

In the second world war '1939-1945', because of Dover's closeness to mailand Europe, it was nicknamed, 'Hellfire Corner'. It was named this was because of all the firepower from the hopeful incoming German invaders; which was met with the Britsh R.A.F fighting back with great force in, 'The battle of Britain' in 1940. The battle of Britain was led by, 'Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Fighter Command'.This is also where most of the tracking devices for oncoming war planes were detecting it from... Maybe this should have really gone under 'warnings and dangers' eh?

Green green green

by Jenniflower

Kent is not called 'the Garden of England' for nothing!It is green, lush and fertile. Sometimes, if we dont have much time to actually explore a little village or castle, we just go for a drive into Kent. Within an hour or so we are there, and merely driving along the narrow lanes and seeing the roadside charm is enjoyable enough!There are plenty of animals to see ~ horses, cows, sheep etc. There is quite a bit of farmland sue to the fertile soil.

Headcorn cemetary

by Jenniflower

I am not sure what it is, but I have always been fascinated with cemetaries.I generally get drawn to the cathedral or church that it is adjoined to, and then sidle on round to the cemetary before too long. I dont find them morbid or 'smelling of death', I find them quite alive with vegetation, little creatures and life! And the stories they tell!I enjoy reading the tombstones and picturing what that person might have looked like in that time. Often one gets an idea of how they died too. I imagine the pain and sorror felt. At the same time though I am aware of the cycle of life, and how death is as natural a part of life as life itself is.Okay, I will get off my philosophical pedestal now ;)Headcorn is one of many cemetaries that have an extra 'something'. It reeks of history and drama and community. I do believe I spent more time at the cemetary than at the local tea room. Oh well. What...

Cobbled ways

by Jenniflower

The cobbled stones lend a lot in the way of character and charm to the villages in England. In this case, to Biddenden.They are called Bethersden marble, because this is where the stone quarry was found. Coupled with the quaint and character-filled weaver cottages in Biddenden, it makes for a picturesque little village indeed! :)A caution though! These pathways are not level and can be a safety hazard, so watch your step. We found we battled to walk on some of the stone pathways in Rome, especially with a buggy!

Pooh land! :)

by Jenniflower

If you go to Kent, and you are a Pooh fan... you HAVE to go to this shop in Canterbury! :)My sister is a Pooh fan of note!So, when we came to Canterbury, we pooped in! It has a wide range of Winnie the Pooh toys, ranging from puzzles to crockery to pencil drawings to fridge magnets! Everything you could think of really.We bought a little Christening bowl for my niece and some other knicknacks. My sister has enough Pooh stuff to be honest, but never seems to have enough

Beach Huts

by nhcram

These beach huts are between Herne Bayand Whitstable are so quaint. People have to wait along time to acquire one of these and they normally pass them down through their families. They make a welcome sight to any beach

Open space and shingle beach.

by Roadrunnermike

Each of the wooden cottages by the edge of the road has something different and inspiring. Indian head and man made cacti just some of the many sculptures made from material gathered along the foreshore. The pictures I have here do not do Dungeness real justice but will give you some idea of the area and fascinating gardens among the shingle of Dungeness. When you visit, tread softly, for many choose to live here for the solitude and silence that once attracted Derek, and also me. The bleakness and old boats and huts on the beach

Sharrie's General Tip

by Sharrie

Roses, pinks, lavender, poppies and lupins are all on display in the gardens. Aren't they just great?

Sharrie's General Tip

by Sharrie

I've read that some of the original oaks planted between 1710 and 1740 still survive in the grounds!

Sharrie's General Tip

The colorful surroundings of the castle is delightful! I took quite a large number of photos especially those of the different types of flowers that one don't get to see in Asia :-)
