Andrew they can't start any of the project until they sign off the legal agreements relating to the planning permission decision. These tend to take time because lawyers are involved.

Probably been removed because they've been applied so badly, that's shocking.

Back to the original thread....bumped into the Western Heights stand at the War and Peace show today. Had a little chat to them, nice bunch and very knowledgable. Who would have thought they walked a tiger on a lead in Dover town centre?!

one of the great pleasures of a stroll around the heights is creeping up on our wildlife and scaring the living daylights out of it.

I'll hazard a guess that this is one of KathH's Essex Skippers, the moth, that is.

i doubt there is any town that has so much natural beauty just walking distance from a heavily populated area as dover.
walking down from st martin's battery after taking in the wonderful sea views including another stunning cruise liner i took these in the space of no more than 3 minutes of each other.

3 new arrivals up at st martin's battery and not shy either, usually when moved somewhere new they tend to keep out of sight until they familiarise themselves with their surroundings.

The new arrivals look fairly young maybe they are used to human company, certainly nice looking animals.
Has the original Sea News thread now been closed, I certainly hope not.

that was my impression jan people were patting them on the head and they were comfortable with it.
the new sea thread is separate from the rest of the forum and is below barry's blog.

#35, ocean-going version of the Gateway, a cruise on that doesn't appeal to me one bit.
