The Whitstable Dream

Saw this whilst in sunny Whitstable today... The Whitstable Dream... hmm haven't got £675,000 to buy it really :-(

Good news on the Tax Form front - I found one of the important bits of paper I thought I'd lost - I think I might have a fighting chance to fill it in now!

    That's a wee bit pricey.
    What's so great about Whitstable?

      It has become one of the "trendy" places to be. There are some celebs live there and plenty of rich people from London have moved there to - or own second homes there.

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me.
