Set in a number of delightful acres, the garden, superbly tended by Jenny, meanders in an informal manner, each turning exposing something new to delight all the senses. It is no wonder this has been such an inspiration for their work. Brian was born locally and attended the Folkestone School of Art when it was in Shellon Street. He has exhibited widely including in a RA Summer Exhibition and has his paintings in collections throughout the world. He is listed in David Buckman's authorative Artists in Britain since 1945 and in Who's Who in Art (35th Edition 2012) edited by Lynda Murray. His work pays testament to the years of practise and his experience was passed on to students at three local schools, where he was the Head of Art, and other educational institutes. Now he devotes his time to practising his craft and art and The Sentinel is delighted to provide a platform for his work particularly as half of the money he receives goes to the Parkinson Research charity who have already received in excess of £4000 from him. Should you wish you can visit Brian at his studio, the Mission Hut, where he would be delighted to show you round the garden too where you will enjoy this developing creativity and should discover many of Jenny's hand built ceramics featuring animals and other forms influenced in some cases by historic cultures, albeit they are not for sale.

However, as of October this year, our neighbours Ben and Lou Corrie of Frogholt will take up a lease on this land, where they will be managing a flock of 500 sheep under the name Frogholt Farm. (Some readers may remember Ben and Lou getting married in Newington Church this past June, in a livestock-themed ceremony complete with a pig waistcoat for the groom and a flower-bedecked horse and cart for the bride.) Many of you, like me, enjoy a walk across these fields regularly, and I’m sure you will find that the presence of the sheep enhances your travels. However, it is very important that all of us keep our dogs on a lead when we are anywhere near the flock. Even the most apparently placid dog can “worry” sheep by running among them, and every year thousands of sheep in Britain die as a result not only of direct injuries, but also indirectly as a result of fleeing in fear - after all, you might have a heart attack too if a predator came to your home and threatened to eat you. So please help your neighbours by keeping your dogs on a lead and under your direct control when you visit Frogholt Farm. Ben and Lou plan to lamb outdoors in the spring, so we can all look forward to the sight of the young lambs at play around Easter next year. Their intention is to gradually grow the flock to over 1000 animals while continuing to preserve the land and our rural heritage. If you have any questions or concerns about the farm, don’t hesitate to ask Ben or Lou by stopping by Frogholt Cottage or writing to [email protected] .
