More hats – showing the variety of styles and prices on show this week, from the flowers of Caroline Morris, to the felt of Victoria Hansen, and the rosettes by Milly Spaven. I’ve looked up ‘Hat Shops’ and ‘Millinery Shops’ in Tunbridge Wells, and I can’t see that we have any other shops completely full … Continue reading »
‘Hats Matter’ are at Art Pull!
It’s the third week that ‘Art Pull’ in Camden Road has been open, and this week sees ‘Hats Matter’ – and yes, I think hats can be art. We had a lovely chat with Sarah McIvor (top photo) whose hat making is her hobby, often making hats for her work colleagues. They get to visit … Continue reading »
Tankerton Fun Day
Sunday 16th June – My sister in law had a jewellery stall at Tankerton Fun Day, on top of Tankerton slopes; we decided to stop by for some lunch and a look around. Took several photos, but tried to find three (my allowance on this blog lay out) that summed up a Fun Day on … Continue reading »
Violet Jive, Jazz on the Pantiles
Thursday summer evenings have, for a few years, seen ‘Jazz on the Pantiles’ held on the bandstand; I however, for many different reasons, hadn’t visited until yesterday. Two reasons for finally going yesterday were: I was out already at a meeting and, I liked ‘The Violet Jive’ when I heard them last year. Arranging to … Continue reading »
Demolition of Gas Holders
The footpath alongside the High Brooms gas holders is supposed to be closed while demolition takes place, but was still open yesterday afternoon. An incredible amount of noise made by the taking down of these Victorian holders; the gas works was open here from 1880 until 1967, originally gas was made from coal delivered from … Continue reading »

For the first time I’ve managed to co-ordinate myself to the opening times of a South East Open Studio. Every June a variety of artists and makers in the South East open their doors, and you can pop round their studio (or house) and see them, talk to them, and maybe buy something. A short … Continue reading »
Darwin
Sorting through some £10.00 notes last night, and I found this. Now: debate away: Darwin, was he wrong? Also: Is it a good idea to write things on currency? Before now I’ve found phone numbers, messages, and promotional ink-stamping. What’s the best thing you have found on some paper-money? Back to Darwin, I don’t … Continue reading »
Monday Club
The main reason I remember to make an effort to write something for Monday Club, is because I get an email notification from Lovely2CU via wordpress about HIS Monday Club. Most Mondays it’s my day to work, which for most people who wouldn’t know, is in our business, which is running a ‘burger van’ on … Continue reading »
Music in the Park
First time for Sunday afternoon Busking in the Park and we have grey skies and quite chilly weather! Not really what we hoped for when first planning the idea of Three Summer Events! We are very grateful for the people who did turn up and do what we expected – bring chairs and rugs and … Continue reading »
Cross Keys, Blues and Groove
Some times it’s the most unexpected things that turn out the best. Somehow this morning I ended up on The Cross Keys facebook page, and saw David Migden was performing tonight as part of The Big Easy Quartet, on the regular Friday night ‘Blues and Groove’. I drive past The Cross Keys taking my daughter … Continue reading »
