I actually lost count of the actual times I was up at 4 getting to this location to photograph this Barn Owl. Pitch black, Cold and attacked by brambles I sat for a couple of hours waiting for it to appear, it avoided my chosen spot more often than not...

@BeatriceCloake @FolkestoneGrand @HistoricEngland @EnglishHeritage @HeritageChat @heritagehoover @SAVEtoReuse @HE_SouthEast @kentlivenews @Kent_cc @lovefolkestone @petertheteacher destroyed the Grand to line his own pockets, and bullied an elderly woman. He is the lowest of the low. Thoughts and prayers to his new neighbours.

@FolkestoneGrand @HistoricEngland @EnglishHeritage @HeritageChat @heritagehoover @SAVEtoReuse @HE_SouthEast @kentlivenews @Kent_cc @lovefolkestone This is very sad. If the work had been done by the ex owners, it would not be in such state. It should not be allowed to be left unpunished

@FolkestoneGrand Ding Dong the useless thieves are gone! A GREAT day for the Grand, a poor day for @petertheteacher new neighbours in Dover. A pair of vile grifters, but fair play to Miri for forgiving Pete. Good riddance.

FINALLY habitual Grand service charge DEBTORS Peter & Miriam Cobrin, confidence tricksters who cost THOUSANDS in service charge for their own enrichment (money that could have been spent on the building) have FINALLY left the Chilham Suite at The Grand. THIS IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE

Does anyone know what's happened to that weird little blog "Shepwayvox"? Not withstanding how pointless and boring it's gotten, by it's own low standards, it's been silent for near 2 months. Has its intemperate "journalism" finally ended?

You should have done more for the Grand, rather than let an elderly con man called Peter line his own pockets off the backs of his neighbours, whilst the building crumbled
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me during my 14 years as MP for Folkestone and Hythe, and those who worked so hard during the recent election campaign. I will always do what I can, in whatever position I hold, to advance the interests of our community.

Politicians aren't the only ones with a 'Battle Bus' Their election campaign runs for 6 weeks; the NLC campaign has been fighting for 8 YEARS ‼️ The Leasehold & Freehold Act barely touches the sides of what is needed DO NOT FORGET US ‼️ @AngelaRayner @RishiSunak @EdwardJDavey
