Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

The first three months of Thanet Star

Written by Matt B · first published 25/02/2008

Looking back over the last three months of Thanet Star I have tried to select a handful of articles that represent the best of the first quarter and yet are still likely to be of reading interest now. What you will notice is that the list is that of ideas, questions and resources. I'd shrug but you would not see that.

Sand Castle
Congratulations to whoever built this castle. I spotted it as I cycled for my evening exercise a few days ago. Moments later it was decimated by joyful children.
