RT @Bob_the_nurse If anyone lives in or near Folkestone go to Home Ground coffee shop. It's new on the highstreet. My friend Michelle has opened it.

So something new opening in Folkestone, that's positive then! Do we need more places for coffee though? I'd like more choice for places to sit down and eat, but realistically I suppose we need places we can go in the day with the baby, you can knock the big chains but Starbucks is always reliable for that... hope the coffee is good in this new place!

This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
