As Craig is there until May 24th and I wondered if he might like to meet up with anyone for a drink while he's there...Kent anyone?

PS..I'd have to talk to him about it first..hahahaha..but I bet he'd enjoy that! Have a good one all! M.

Whereabouts in Kent Michelle? Not that I'm in UK, but thats where i'm from!

Helen

And I live right where she does!
But I think Craig is down near Maidstone which isn't close to London! lol

Edit to say: Do people from Kent / London all want to amrry Americans??

No ALL english want to marry an american, us Kenters are just lucky

Hugss Jaylen hope things are going well for you

Some of us from Liverpool are crazy about Americans too LOL

Adele

Craig is in/from Gillingham. M.

Hugs right backatcha hun! Hope all is going smoothly now
I shall never forget the fact we shared a darn flight that day! Sooo spooky but also very cool! That was VJ in action!!

Tee hee lucky us.

There is just no one better on the planet than my adorable fiance. Sigh.

well thats freaky... crash was living in gillingham himself before we got married... then moved to devon to work for his friend while we did the CR1... where abouts exactly.. i visited gillingham myself on my first trip to the UK.. (you can PM me so we dont give out his info LOL)

Mine is from Folkestone -- I find men from Kent exceedingly fine

My fiance's in Belvedere.

Well i'm from Blackpool.......stick of rock anyone!?

Cool, just down the road from Erith where I moved from. What a small world!

I'm in Essex! across the water from Kent! can see Kent very well from where I work in Grays, Essex.

My folks live in Kent too

We are in Gravesend now. When I arrived in November, Tom was living in a two room flat in Brixton. When the visa was denied we knew we could not stay in Brixton.. its much too expensive. Because Tom has friends in Gravesend we decided to look at houses to rent in Gravesend. We found one and moved in at the beginning of April. Unfortunately I have to go back to the states on Wednesday May 10th or it would be interesting to meet. I have ridden a few times now on that train from London Bridge to Gillingham (but we get off in Gravesend of course) . I would have loved to travel a little further east before going back but there just has not been time with trying to set up the house so it will be ready for my return... assuming the Uk wil let me back in. Now I have to get a fiance visa and I am terrified.

The timing of my return is horrible... Tom broke his toe last Sunday. He had already scheduled days off so we could do some things before my return... see a little more of Kent than just Gravesend... but he can't walk. He works at a hospital near London Bridge and we was riding his motorscooter home that day... he was only two traffic lights from home when someone ran a red light and he had to brake so hard the scooter fell on him. No one can figure out why he doesnt have a mark on him except this badly broken big toe... but we know we were lucky. It could have been so much worse. Happened at the intersection of Thames Way and Vale Road or possibly Dover... he is not sure looking at the map and won't be back at that intersection for a few weeks. The doctor signed him off for three more weeks from work... so he will be here all alone unable to walk much and I have to leave him. This is breaking my heart. I want to see Kent in the summer but I fear it will take me many months to get things squared away in Michigan.

Of course what we really wanted was for him to live in the States. This has been a long and cruel process.

Awesome!

I have worked in Maidstone, Belvedere and Folkestone and currently live and work in Gravesend(lived there my whole life). I am currently in the U.S. visiting one last time before the Visa is issued. I am going to be working as much as possible before i get my Visa and any free time will be spent talkign to my wife in the US so a drink with a fellow visa waiter is sadly not too workable right now. Good luck though.

LOL think someone should remind Michelle she started this thread... I think she forgot all about it

I didn't forget Just been really busy and no real reason to post here...take a look at the replies from time to time(and they are interesting) but I never ended up mentioning it to Craig anyway..he's got too much else going on over there to bother about it..I wish *I* could meet some of you tho!!!! M.

It is a small world and it is funny to think some of us are only a train ride away. I have probably neglected my friends as it is though. ha.
