🌺 The poppies are on their way across Sandwich! ❤️

It’s that time of year again, and the Sandwich and District Royal British Legion has started delivering poppy boxes and collection tins to local shops, pubs and businesses ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

A huge thank you to Hank and everyone helping with the deliveries, our wonderful local businesses for supporting the appeal, and all those who donate.

Every poppy worn and every penny donated helps the Royal British Legion support serving personnel, veterans and their families.

So, when you spot a poppy collection tin around Sandwich, please give what you can. ❤️

We will remember them. 🌺

🍏Kent the Garden of England!

These beautiful apple orchards are right here in Worth, and today is Apple Day!

Coming from a farming family myself, I know just how much hard work goes into producing food.

We’re incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by fantastic farms, orchards and growers here in East Kent.

Our farmers do so much more than put food on our tables. They support local jobs, businesses, our rural economy and help shape the countryside we all love.

British farming faces enormous challenges, and it’s so important we continue to support those who produce our food. 🇬🇧

🍎 Which local farm shops and producers would you recommend?

Let’s give our local farmers a well deserved shout-out!

🇬🇧 Happy Trafalgar Day! ⚓️

Today we remember Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson and the brave sailors who secured Britain’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, a defining moment in our nation’s history.

Their courage, leadership, and unity at sea remind us of the same values we strive for in our communities today: duty, service, and pride in our country.

As we look back on this day, let’s also take a moment to thank all those who serve in our Armed Forces, emergency services, and local communities, continuing that proud tradition of dedication to others.

🇬🇧 “England expects that every man will do his duty.”

Some of the biggest names in world golf are coming to Sandwich and Deal in 2027! 🏌️‍♂️

That’s fantastic news for our local economy!

I was invited to Prince’s Golf Club this morning for a coffee and catch up, and it was brilliant to hear what’s coming to our corner of Kent next year.

Just look at this lineup!

🏆 The AIG Women’s Open at Royal St. George's Golf Club. One of the biggest tournaments in women’s golf!

🏆 The Women’s Amateur Championship at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club in Deal.

🏆 The Boys’ Amateur Championship at Prince's, showcasing the next generation of golfing talent.

🏆 Final Qualifying for The Open also returns to Prince’s!

Three world-class golf courses, within just a few miles of each other, attracting international attention to our little corner of Kent.

It’s not just about golf. ⛳️

Visitors filling our hotels and B&Bs, customers in our pubs, cafés and restaurants, money spent in our independent shops and local jobs being supported.

The benefits aren’t limited to championship weeks. Golf tourism brings visitors here throughout the year.

We’re incredibly lucky to have these fantastic clubs on our doorstep!

A big thank you to Ali and Rob for the invitation. Local people getting excited about Sandwich! 🏌️🏌️‍♀️

🎃 Halloween is coming… but should trick or treaters knock on every door? 👻

For some families, Halloween is one of the highlights of the year. For others, particularly elderly or vulnerable residents, an unexpected knock at the door can be genuinely frightening.

And that’s absolutely fine. Not everyone wants to take part. ❤️

Kent Police have produced two simple posters that could make a real difference this Halloween.

🎃 YES, trick or treaters welcome!

🚫 NO, trick or treating please!

Simply print the one that suits your household and display it in your front window or on your door.

And if you’re taking children out this Halloween, please remember:

👻 No pumpkin or decorations? Best not to knock.

🎃 A ‘No Trick or Treat’ sign? Please respect it.

👻 Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult.

🎃 Eggs, flour and frightening people aren’t harmless Halloween fun.

As Chair of the Dover District Neighbourhood Watch Association, I want everyone across our communities to enjoy Halloween safely, whether they’re celebrating or not.

❤️ Could you share this post? It might reach an elderly neighbour, a vulnerable resident or a family who would find these posters really useful.

Both official Kent Police posters are attached to this post. Just save the image you need and print it.

Halloween should be fun for those taking part, without becoming a worry for those who aren’t.

One question though… do you welcome trick or treaters at your door, or would you rather be left alone? 🎃👻
