Hope to see you at Ye Olde Thirsty Pig

Afternoon,

From Monday 11th May I’ll be down in Kent for a week, exploring different areas each day. I’ll be starting in Maidstone, the county town of Kent, well known for its riverside setting along the Medway and nearby Leeds Castle, before heading on to West Malling, a historic market town known for its charming high street and medieval buildings.

I’ll be visiting a number of micropubs and pubs throughout the day to see what the area has to offer.

If I’m planning to pop in and visit you, I’d really appreciate a share of this post — and if you see me out and about, feel free to come and say hello!
