Mayor of Canterbury, Pat Todd, with Folkestone Mayor Tom McNeice

Mayor and Mayoress of Canterbury fundraising picnic and outing to the theatre

At the Mayoral outing today there were Mayors and Mayoresses present that I have not met before who had travelled from Tunbridge Wells, Bromley, Medway, Gravesend and the more usual Cinque Ports. We drove to the venue ourselves this time as Canterbury is outside our area and not a Cinque Port and parking amongst the rather smart Mayoral Cars was a bit daunting. However, seeing the stunning venue of Tower House and it's gardens and grounds was an uplifting experience.

Step Short 2010

The day started on the Leas where I had a photo taken with two soldiers dressed in Middlesex Regiment Uniform from the WW1 period. We quietly processed from The Grand Hotel along Leas to the top of the Road of Remembrance, formerly called 'The Slope Road' and the long column walked down the road followed by the many spectators. The destination was the harbour where ten million men had departed for France almost a hundred years ago.

Search Engine Optimisation - by an expert

Search Engine Optimisation is part of my day-job: making websites perform as well as possible in search engines for sites I'm working on is a key part of the job. There is little point helping some build the perfect shop that no-one comes into, right?
