Croquet is our preferred sport with the occasional game of bowls.
We have one adult daughter, who lives in Devon UK . Two grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Ron is a member of Probus and has been his branch secretary for the past three years, he has now relinquished the post. This is an active gentleman’s club, with a monthly lunch for the men and a monthly coffee morning where the wives are invited along. On these occasions there is also a speaker.
Margaret does regular Yoga and dance classes.
We like to entertain our friends with fairly regular lunches, when we also like to play some board games.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Quiet area with views towards the Downs, semi rural.
Ashford was once a Market Town but has expanded over the years. There are still many villages close by so an interesting area to
travel about in.
Canterbury has The Cathedral also an excellent Theatre, while Dover is known for the White Cliffs and The Castle. Further afield is Tunbridge Wells.
The coast is about 30 minutes drive away.
