Have you heard about our Dine WIth Friends project that is currently run from our Cafe in Ashford? Food with Friends has always been about connecting people and last year as we went into lockdown, our team started dreaming about how we could serve our local community through this time! Dine with Friends was born, and here we are, with a big dream, but with the right ingredients mixing together, we can help make it happen! Call 01233 640445 or 07903476882 to find out more

Re “Trail/River”…
I love the idea of a quest that can result in such extreme possibilities – famous or forgotten, the stakes are high! This concept allows for one’s imagination to fly and I’m intrigued to discover what the various obstacles and opponents turn out to be. This promises a fantastic adventure ahead…

Re: Coffee
I love how the beginning is an everyday setting but full of possibility. This could be the start of something beautiful and romantic or the start of an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller. Is Sarah in danger or simply bored of her current circumstances and looking for something new? I have so many questions! Really excited about what could come next.

Re: Annabelle & Chucky
This sounds full of great action and intrigue, the classic battle between good and evil but I love the fact it’s set way in the future and that gives endless possibilities to use your imagination, I can already feel the darkness of the villains and how desperate it all feels, and then the glimmer, mention of a hero… I love a good superhero, cant wait to hear more
