Dear Calverlies,

I did some work on site today: tree hugging. Somebody has to do it and, frankly, it is more fun than annotating tree positions on plan. If Prince Charles can do it, so can I. It took several hours, but I'm now on first-name terms with each of our woody friends.

While I was busy getting thus acquainted with nature, somebody else (yes, one of us) was getting acquainted with somebody else at Carluccio's ... my lips are sealed...

Calverly Park

Hi all,

Further to James' message, I thought I would try to do a post!
I am eagerly awaiting your group presentation in a few weeks time. How are you all getting on? (PS: I am the odd student out who will be joining you for master planning, as I had to cut 3rd Yr short last year)

The group work was incredibly stressful last year. Remember to take lots of deep breaths and put things into perspective. It will all come together and it is only a course...

So, what do you all think about Calverly Park? I was really exited when I made my site visit a little while ago. It was really busy, with lots of happy people and there are some amazing specimen trees there. Tunbridge Wells is a beautiful town as well and probably has quite an interesting history too, SPA town etc. The pantiles and old High Street is quite quaint and attracts lots of wealthy people. Don't know anything about the social statistics, but off the top of my head I would say it is a quite wealthy area.

I would say the park has the potential to be a little gem in the heart of a beautiful town! That's my thoughts for the day. Look forward to seeing you all soon!
