Lovely Charing - Kent

Lovely greetings from Spain

Received in the inbox:

Hello:

My family and I were spending New Year Holidays in a cottage very close to Charing. We are from Spain and we enjoyed a lot with the landscape of the surroundings and also with the village. I would like to share some photos of Charing snowed.

Also, I would like to thank:

• A taxi driver who take us from Ashford to Charing Station (the train was cancelled because of the snowed)
• Some boys (I think from Charing) who helped us towing our car to Charing Hill one with snow and ice on the road in the same night.

We are looking forward to come but and see Charing and also my nephew that born 2th of this year.

Congratulations, you have a very beautiful village in spite of goose that didn't allow to approach to the farm near the church and the snow that did not allow to enjoy with the market.

Best regards,
Cristina

Snow!

Always a nice "picture" - as long as you don't have to travel through it! If you have to, save journey and take care.

Need a ride?

Executive Cars (Charing) operates from the Village High Street and prides it self on being a Community based service, much of our business is corporate work and private clients within the area who need a personal service they can trust to be on time and offer that extra something that makes a journey to and from the Airport or London just that little more enjoyable some like to chat others to rest in the comfort of our modern cars and qualified drivers.

For our local clients it can be a trip to the Hair Dressers or an appointment at the Doctors it’s good to know that we will get them there on time and home again, and just that little help with the bags or the front door key means so much to them, to us it’s called “SERVICE” sadly something that in some professions has been forgotten.

To us every client is special whatever the distance and whatever the time we try our best to give of our best at all times. Our client base includes Students at the Canterbury University, Business people to Airports and home again to Nights out at your favourite restaurant and that all important trip to the shops.

No one day is the same and pre-booking is a must; we always try to keep our rates as reasonable as we can in these exceptional financial times for all of us.

Many of our clients say it’s nice to see a familiar face when returning from a trip or holiday at the airport we always make sure that we are at arrivals in time to meet and greet, for Corporate clients we are the face of the Company on many visitors coming to do business in the area and we endeavour to give local knowledge when asked and for our senior clients we may be the only person they see that day so we make time for them.

No job is too small or too big we have taken parcels for delivery to local shops to arranging transport for large conferences at local Hotels and offer a Livery Chauffeur Service if required to delegates.

Above all we are a local company offering a transport service and parcel service to local people and businesses give us a call for a quote any time.” NO JOB TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG”

Kent on track for a high-speed boom - Times Online

An important part of improvements being made to London’s transport infra-structure ahead of the 2012 Olympics, the new service – known as the Javelin – will make much of Kent feasible commuter territory. Estate agents and home-owners alike are salivating at the prospects for the property market.

Journey times from London to Ashford will be more than halved to 37 minutes; Folkestone will be 63, as opposed to 98, minutes away, while Ramsgate, at present two hours from the capital, will be 84 minutes by train.

It is the nearby villages, however, especially those perched on the slopes of the North Downs bisecting the county, that are more likely to become a honeypot for City commuters.

That's what TimesOnline reported way back in 2007. The future is already here: The Javelin (High Speed Rail Link from SouthEastern) is already speeding down the line every morning from Ashford International Station to St. Pancras in London.

Charing is perfectly located on the A20 just 6 miles from Ashford International Station, has its very own station that'll bring you to AIS in no time at all if you don't want to drive down to Ashford.

If you know someone is looking to combine both the good life in a thriving village and the practicality of High Speed Rail travel to London and the Continent (Eurostar) direct them to our own Estate Agents:

Patrick Russel Estate Agents and Saddlers Estate Agents (both members of Charing Business Association - committed to the community)

Any of them will be very happy to source the perfect home for them. You can also tell them our village has "everything you need on their doorstep"

Good news for anyone going abroad

Good news for anyone going abroad!

Another 'on demand 'currency for the summer holidays. This time Turkish Lira for those looking for a cheaper destination. This is in addition to 'on demand' Euros and US Dollars and there is a better exchange rate if you purchase over £500 worth of currency.
