There is no place like home

Its great to be back home in beautiful Tunbridge Wells. My wife and I have just spent a while in The Gambia on a bit of a birdwatching binge.
We missed being home quite a lot, me especially whilst laid up in bed ill for most of the holiday with gastric poisoning and pulling muscles in my back.
It just goes to prove that holidays aren't all they are cracked up to be and there is definitely no place like home.
I notice that Disgusted has updated his blog a bit since I was away and there is some interesting new scaffolding next to Costa. Anything else happen whilst I was away?

Welcome back :-)

You missed some great snow, new stealth cuts by TWBC, lots of hot air press releases to help grease the audit, frightening news that the hospital trusts could be in real trouble and we could lose the new PFI one and the town is to become a super retail park as we are only '65th' in the country.

Glad you are back, Welcome to proper English weather!

. . . thought you were under the radar . . . which is obviously what happened :)

So here is the report from the local front:

- None of the town’s 'Grot Spots' has been tackled yet (probably to cold for that)

- TWBC’s Planning Director promised in last week’s Courier to come up with a Master Plan for the town and revamp big style.

- “Habitat” site has found a new tenant (retailer) – do not know who yet.

- The owners of the Cinema say they want to demolish soon and submit new plans.

- The Opera House’s “The revenge of the Bat” was really something to write home about.

- Friends of Woodbury Park Cemetery are on their way to make that area more known. (website coming up soon)
They have a pilot being willing to fly low level over town and they look for a photographer to take shots of aerial views.
So if you are not afraid of heights and wish to relive ‘Red Baron’s’ adventures please let me know.
