Park Gate Down (OS
map 179TR 168457)
Kent Wildlife Trust are pleased to report that, despite a very dry start to the season, we had another excellent display of orchids this year, the exception being green-winged orchid which did not show this year, this is not unusual and it should return next year. The rarer species, monkey, musk and late spider orchid all did well, with a total of 72 musk orchids being found.
The Welcome Day on the 4th July was very well attended, including six new faces. We had fantastic weather – right up to the torrential downpour at the end of the day!! Nonetheless, we completed some essential fence repairs, removed most of the invasive bracken, cleared paths and repositioned an electric fence. There was also an opportunity to scour the reserve for its wonderful orchids.
The Trust hopes that the new volunteers enjoyed their day on the reserve, their help was much appreciated.
Since the last article on the reserve it has been renamed ‘The Hector Wilks Reserve’ in recognition of the work of this local botanist who was involved with Parkgate Down since its inception.
The reserve was the subject of a recent television programme on the 17th July – Natures Calendar – if you missed this you can catch up by going to www.bbc.co.uk/naturescalendar/ and follow the link through Grasslands - North Downs.
For those interested in finding out more regarding this reserve and assisting with its maintenance, there is another work day on the 8th August starting at 9am.
For more information you can visit the Trust’s website: www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk

Holiday Property

The Blue Vinny Restaurant
- Now Closed
Karen and Christopher Williams from
Saffron Walden, Essex, have purchased the freehold interest in the acclaimed
Blue Vinny Restaurant in the High Street of the Kent Downs village of Elham,
near Canterbury, from its owners and founders, Steve Butcher and Lindsay
McNally.
In 2004 Steve and Lindsay ‘risked it
all’ to follow their dream of starting their own restaurant, documented in full
by Channel4. Theirs was a success story, and the Blue Vinny quickly
became established as one of the most popular and sought-after eating places in
the Kent Downs region. Nearly three years on, Steve and Lindsay have sold
the freehold interest and are moving to the Alps to take on a new challenge.
Like
Steve and Lindsay, Karen and Christopher previously fulfilled an ambition to
establish their own restaurant, in Saffron Walden, which they owned and ran
from May 1999 to July 2003.
Having
successfully created a restaurant with Michelin recognition and a reputation locally
for the finest quality food, wine and service, Karen and Christopher are
ideally placed to take over the Blue Vinny and build on their predecessors’
hard work.

Neighbourhood Watch Information
On Wednesday 7th February fish sellers were in the
vicinity of Lympne.
They offered a householder 56lb of fish at a cost of £300. They were
insistent on putting the fish straight into the householders' freezer.
The householders became suspicious and later checked the weight of the fish to
find that only 30lb of the 56lb had been placed in the freezer.
The vehicle is described as a silver Ford Transit which was signwritten 'C
Fish'.
Please be very wary of these unknown fish sellers. They are not genuine
Fishmongers, their fish is usually of poor quality and past its sell by
date. Should they call on you please make Trading Standards aware.
