Hi Gayle

Just got back from a two week cruise to Norway's north cape.

Yes we are very rural here down on the marsh, potatoes, winter wheat and spring rape are the main crops plus sheep and a few high end beef cattle.

We are about seven miles to either Herne Bay or Canterbury, not far in your terms but a long way for us.

In geographical terms the extreme east of Kent is a long way from the rest of England, many local jobs are dependent on transport and trade with the continent and voted to stay in Europe.

My husband is N.Irish and we spend all our holiday time in Europe so we know the Pas de Calais and Flanders very well, where abouts did your family originally come from?

The best words in the English language are "welcome to the Channel Tunnel!
