Tonbridge Park is now an ice rink.

Kids skating, younger kids smashing up the ice.

Well the Tonbridge flood plain did its job (protecting Kent's administrative centre (Maidstone) from going under!) and threw up some interesting reflections at the same time.

Snaps from Acton Town Hall about 100 yrs ago - my young son said 'lets see if punk rock stars still let fans into their dressing rooms!'

Not only did they but Mick Jones opened the door and thrust 2 bottles into our hands!

My orange fixation >>>

Seeing this badge on FB brought me right back to us planning our honeymoon in Lewisham's Chiesmans Travel Agents in mid-84.
In late Sep 84, we popped back into their massive department store to purchase this Le Creuset Volcanic Orange Vintage Cast Iron 5 saucepan set & stand.

(chocolate) roll up.

Can you help families in need by picking up an extra can and dropping it into our collection boxes spread around the Tonbridge town?

Failing that 99% of supermarkets now have a drop off point after their tills.

Keep being excellent to each other this Winter.

Friends in Tonbridge near the station - we collect food for families in need on the first Friday of each month.
7 front gardens will have drop off boxes - if you could add one of these items to your shop and pop it in the box you'll be doing a wonderful thing.

IF the 4,000,000 Reform Party voters want to end veterans homelessness they could campaign to

Open up 2,000+ of the 700,000 empty homes.

Their 45,000 members could offer a sofa to one of homeless vets

Their MPs could campaign for better mental health care for veterans

OR

just blame immigrants!
