I check this site now and again to see whether there is anything local (ish!) but so far no luck. I would be interested to meet in Canterbury. Maidstone would be a bit too far as I live in Sandwich, so perhaps Canterbury would be a nice mid choice...?
If anyone is interested to meet in Canterbury, it would be great to get together and discuss, have a drink and chat generally.
My latest reads for your info and hopefully similar interests:
The Lollipop Shoes -brilliant Almost Moon - good but depressing Midnight's Children (dipping into this- started and abandoned just before xmas)
now reading: Joanna Trollope's - Friday Nights- light, amusing and Tony Benn's autobiography - very interesting
