If you ventured into Folkestone today, between showers, you would have found it difficult to miss the gleaming Vintage Green Bus and other vintage motors standing right in the middle of the pedestrian area outside Debenhams. These Vintage Motors were on display to support the continuing !890 Leas Lift Stepped Carriage refurbishment appeal.  Local Re-enacters were also there showing their colours in support.

Local men Bob Mouland and Jack Gill have, over the last few years, raised more than £25k for the refurbishment appeal - and the Stepped Carriage is now in Dover being worked on. A final push is needed to pay for the special plinth which is needed to stand the Stepped Carriage on when it goes on static display in the Lower Leas Area.

The robin was taken through a glass window hence the slight aberration. The snow shot was taken outside of my next door neighbours place - looking east with the sun about 45 degree above right.

Camera is Nikon D80, 18-135mm lens used for these with remote shutter. Photography is one of my main hobbies as well as Ham radio. Pictures taken by Dick Pascoe - SDC Councillor and resident of Crete Road East. More pictures at: www.kent-photo.com

Hawkinge resident David Godfrey took some pictures of the area during the recent snow - Feb 2010. It was impossible to drive on most side roads, many drivers returning from work having to abandon their cars at the side of the road and then dig their cars out to get to work next day. Once on M20 (which is close) drivers were able to travel unhindered.
