I have noted your comment today KeithG, some of us or just one of us, cannot put pictures, on here.
I did manage to use the space for an avatar, but that is all.   :-[

Thanks Stewie.  I went there before it was renovated - a sad sight then - looking good now.




Next one ...


Easy to see on GSV - East Kent

Yes you have it John Walker, an interesting building, it is a curved greenhouse so that it catches the sun as it moves round during the day and very nice it was too! Over to you.  :)

Sorry Diapason not there, we took the coastal route and KeithG's earlier observation is relevant.

Thank you KeithG, thinking back to the days before 'lockdown', here is a lovely refreshment stop that Mrs Stewie and me found during  a walk last year.

I agree with what you say John Walker but it will not make much difference as i see it, some can't use the process of editing pictures from the computer and uploading them for the forum.


Hi Keith,  On a purely selfish note - it would certainly help me to use Google images  :D .  Kyn allowed Google images for those not able to get about easily or those without postcard collections etc and as far as I recall there were never any problems.  Many of my images on the old site were Google while I was unable to get about for a while.  I must admit, I didn't just post the image straight of the Google page - in fact nobody every realised my images were from Google.  I do appreciate not everyone can to do that though.   This is is an old Google GTP that I used on Kyn's site.  (Saint John the Baptist, Harrietsham )

Stweie.... Yes you have it.


Waiting and letting others have a go does not work either as there is no one else that plays we have seen most players.
I have held back before and the wait can be days.... Surely the object is to keep the game moving....which maybe why not many players play only us die hards!

Stewie..... Yes it is there but look up what it is called!


MartinR... You can use online pictures if you have subscribed to them and printed out for to scan nothing devious there.
I don't think the word "satisfied" by Royalty is very obscure.


Surely members have post cards which are allowed but it is not fair to members to join in if they do not have a picture to use it just causes aggravation and less will participate as i for one are on the cusp of not bothering and already compared with the old site it is the same very few that do Guess The Place ..... Yes it gets boring seeing the same old names but at least some are still learning about Kent.

I don't think members are as interested as before as sparse on clues and not given for a long time and also questions are far and few between which is the way one guesses where the picture is....
