#TunbridgeWells resident. Love our parks and green spaces. Trying an escape from X.
Many people who visit #DunorlanPark are not aware of the Victoria Cross Grove near the Bayhall Rd entrance. There was a poignant Remembrance Day service there today. Wreaths were laid at the monument commemorating the 10 VC holders with connections to #TunbridgeWells.

I was so sad today to see one of the beautifully painted utility cabinets in Calverley Precinct #TunbridgeWells badly damaged. No idea when/how it happened. Hope they've identified who is responsible.

I was there too! It was a lovely afternoon. So fantastic to see so many people of all ages enjoying the music. Me and my great friend Jane in the shade.

Thank you Andy for a very enjoyable walk around Grosvenor & Hilbert today. I loved seeing so many ducklings and moorhen chicks.

This morning I visited Dunorlan Park #TunbridgeWells. I was amazed at the beautiful wild flower bed planted by the Monday Volunteers. It's been changing every few weeks and at its most beautiful now.

I'm absolutely loving these long early summer evenings and so happy to think it's another month to go before the Longest Day.

Loads of coffee shops in #TunbridgeWells & most other places but they don't have the smell of roasting coffee like Importers which used to be on Monson Road. Just back from a trip to Lancashire and it was a joy to find a combined coffee shop and roastery. e-coffee.co.uk/about-us/

I am so happy that in #TunbridgeWells we still have two independent department stores - Fenwick's & Hooper's. Hooper's is running a series of very enjoyable fashion shows. I've attended most and two more to go. They are free and they provide prosecco/soft drinks with lovely canapés.

Today, on behalf of Friends of Dunorlan Park, I attended a very uplifting ceremony where the Royal Tunbridge Wells Round Table donated to 32 local #TunbridgeWells good causes. They raise the money from the annual fireworks display. So many volunteers doing great work for our community.
