New Blog!

The time has come to move on from dear old Pumpkin and start blogging under a different title. It is surprisingly hard to come up with a new blog title and after much hilarity while Phil perused the dictionary I settled on a title which pays homage to the county of my birth!

According to tradition,the first Men of Kent were  who settled in the east of the county some 1500 years ago,whilst Kentish Men were of Saxon origin and settled in the west of the county.In 1066 the Men of Kent showed their spirit by resisting William the Conqueror  and obtained an honourable peace settlement which gave them certain rights, whilst the Kentish Men surrendered. 

I was born in Margate so that makes me a Maid of Kent!
