Hello Sarah from Kent. Can you please tell us what makes a "Man of Kent"  and what makes a "Kentish Man" ? I bet you cant tell us without using the word MEDWAY Laughing

Thank you for the welcome gentlemen!

Mick - ;)

The River M' divides the county. To the west, a local male is called a Kentish Man; to the east, he is a Man of Kent. The difference originates from the fact that the Saxons settled in the west of the county, and the Angles in the east. I'm an imposter I'm afraid - moved from the West Country a few years ago.

I Love King Charles Spaniels. I guess that is why I loved his face. Does he like to sit in your lap and sleep in your bed? They are the best dogs, besides labs. I wish I could have a dog like Kevin.

Sarah, do you have any pets?

Hello, Sarah.  Welcome from me too.  Your photos are truly lovely.  It's fun here at POE and it's also great being part of a mad lot. 

Mick, do you live in Kent, and if so, are you a Kentish man or a man of Kent?
