Keeping in touch - urgent
An urgent message, first, to all readers who may have been experiencing difficulties getting in touch with the Kent Life editorial and sales team via our Maidstone office. BT, in their infinite widsom, managed to sever our connection earlier this week, so we have been unable to receive, or make, any calls. So if you need myself, Michael, Angela, Martin or Adam, please click onto 'Contact Us' in the top bar for our individual mobile numbers and email addresses. Huge apologies for the inconvenience.
I am officially on holiday today, about to leave for what I hope will be a sunny weekend in Devon - it's pretty warm here in Kent at 8am, at least - scooping up my daughter at a service station somewhere along the A303, if all goes according to plan. At least the long drive south-westwards will be full of chat, music and laughter for nearly half the journey!
It's potentially the last time I will see Laura and her boyfriend in their Plymouth home before they move much closer to this neck of the woods when Laura starts her postgraduate course in London this September. Rumour has it I may have to get involved in helping decorate the place before the keys are handed back, ready for the next tenants, but I think I will just quietly remind my daughter just how rubbish I am with a paintbrush and volunteer for cooking duties instead!
We're hoping to get to the beach, and to the Plymouth lido, which is sunk into the cliff face and rather magnificent, and I am apparently joining all her mates in a late rum drinking session tonight, at their particular request Glad I still retain Cool Mum status, then.
Have a great weekend.
Sarah
