The wonderful Maria de la Mann has a display at Maidstone Community Arts Hub, at the bottom of Gabriel's Hill, handily opposite the chip shop! All her (7) books currently in print are available there at a universal (and special) price of £4.99 each. Greatful for boosts and shares elsewhere if the fancy takes you, and of course if local enough to Maidstone then pop in!
Trust me on this, her writing and illustrations (including the covers) are a delight.

Taking the kit build guitar (Telecaster) to an old mate's proper carpentry workshop in Chatham tomorrow, to get the six through body string holes drilled.
A true Chatham boy, salt of the earth, he said there is normally a small charge for 'mate' jobs.

This one is local to me. Another one I've liked since first seeing it. The "Bath" part of the name refers to 19th century floating public baths that were moored on the River Medway near this location. The "Hard" part is a historical term for a section of riverbank that was reinforced to allow people, carts, and boats to access the water without sinking into mud. There's a lot of mud on the banks of the Medway.
Seeing everyone's contributions here has led me to think what a great tour could be made from visiting all these places.
