Guardian Unlimited | Weekend | Let's move to ... Folkestone, Kent

The feature I've been waiting for for ages, it's a bit light though. They do say property in the town is "fantastic", and mention the regeneration, though they recognise it's a way of still. They messed up a bit called Cheriton "villagey" though I feel... "the restaurant at the hotel" get a special mention too, that's Sandgate, but would that be the up-for-grabs Sandgate Hotel?

This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a useful reference for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today 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 something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
