OH WE DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE!
OUR DECISION TO MOVE TO FOLKESTONE WAS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BU THE DRAW OF THE CREATIVE COMMUNITY. I AM CONTINUALLY AMAZED AND INSPIRED BY THE SHEER VOLUME, DIVERSITY AND QUALITY OF WORK COMING OUT OF THE CREATIVE QUARTER. ALTHOUGH AT TIMES IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP WITH THE EVERYTHING GOING ON HERE, I LOVE GETTING INVOLVED IN LOCAL GROUPS AND EVENTS SUCH AS: THREADS TOUCHBASE NORMAL?FESTIVAL OF THE BRAIN TAKE UP SPACE |
