The post you are reporting:
There was on the lovely spring day walking from Canterbury to Sandwich just left Fordwich (which is a lovely little place) heading for Stodmarsh when 2 young ladies riding horses came up behind me,I let them pass mainly because of the traffic,although the view got better,then out of the blue 2 walkers appeared walking towards me.They spoke to the 2 young ladies on the horses who pointed in the direction I was walking too.The 2 walkers then came upto me and as I had my map out they said 'Which way to Stodmarsh Nature reserve'.
Now i recognised the man although I didn't know his name and told the couple they were walking the wrong way(they had been told this already) and I offered to show them the way as I was going thru the marshes to Grove Ferry and Plucks Gutter.Naturally they recognised me and asked me where I was going.They had been visiting their daughter in Preston near by but where from River.
The lady then started to give me a hard time why Dover was in such a state and asked me why we had wasted so much money on Town Centre Management,and I was trying to defend the Council.Me an opposition Cllr,and Town Centre Management,and it is no secret thet Mr Webb and I didn't see eye to eye then,although we are better now.
There I was out practise walking on my day off and getting it in the neck,I was quite please to get to Stodmarsh,although the man never said a word it was his wife,So I took them to the entrance wished them well and they did say thank you,and I must admit my walking got a lot faster...to get away from them...would you believe it.
