It features Doreen Thomas reminiscing on her life here interspersed with footage of the local area.   Once you select his on Utube you will find 2 or 3 more short clips.

'They' seem to overlook the fact that the nuclear power stations were conceived when the airport was one of the busiest in the country and they are worried a 747 might crash or at worst be hijacked and crashed into afore mentioned power stations.   I personally fear more for those living under the flight paths of Heathrow and Gatwick.   Further they fear the act of hi jacking and subsequent demolition of the 'A' or 'B' structures.   Any right thinking terrorist would hire a little Cessna and take it 60 miles up the road and crash it into the patio on the Thames of the House of Commons – far more world wide publicity in that action and far easier to organise.

 I have said before I do not think any airline will, in the long term, find operating out of Lydd a viable proposition but if someone is prepared to inject £40 odd million into the local area then they should be given every assistance – not stopped by a pack of outsiders who have openly admitted they moved to the area to retire to the peace and quiet!  

There has always been an airport here and any jobs created through the expansion should be welcomed..

It has just been noticed that four previous articles have been languishing in the ‘draft’ box – dating back to February of last year, April November and December – all a little out of date now!

One article was a mention that a local resident, Jean Couperthwaite had passed away. 41 years on the beach Jean, whose husband died 6 months earlier, ran the local railway cafe for many years. She leaves behind six children.

unusual for Dungeness but we have had reports of a few house break-ins. Probably local persons involved as they clearly knew the properties were not permanently lived in. I have suggested using bear traps around the perimeter of houses but evidently that goes against the European human rights of burglars. Alright to castrate the morons if we can catch them at it though!

The main characters are played by MyAnna Buring and Ophelia Lovibond with the allegedly handsome Rex Goode making up the trio involved in Erin Kelly’s ‘dark, bewitching psychological thriller’.

Definately one to watch – even with the sound off!

We hope to have a few photographs and details of what is on offer shortly and when we do an article will be placed in the ‘Where to Stay’ section.

Well not actually in Dungeness but off the High Street in New Romney.   German artist Elizabeth Wecks has a display of paintings entitled ’Flowers of Dungeness’ and on the opposite wall are scenes from the Romney Marsh, including a couple of atmospheric pieces depicting Dungeness by Ryan Kai Orme.
