MARCH 2021

 Very little to report , a few signs of Spring, and a slight easing of the lockdown restrictions at the end of the month means a few trips out to the far flung corners of East Kent beckon in April.

Here are a few pics from my local walks for March....mainly Samphire Hoe and Langdon Cliffs.
