I'm not from Kent, but my mother was born in Hythe and spent her early life in various villages, including Lymbridge Green, Lyminge, Sellinge, Stowting, Stelling Minnis and Wye. She spent her honeymoon at the Mermaid Inn in Rye. I had an aunt who lived in Ashford and an uncle in Dover, conveniently near the Castle. Helen
