With the cold weather closing in we paraded round the town with many bands,dancers giants and a canon spraying confetti over everything in sight ,much to the delight of the local people. Near disaster struck half way round when Lilys arm became loose and was in danger of coming off. Local residents hurried to our aid by rushing to a nearby house and producing a ladder for Maurice to climb and causing some amusement, undo Lily’s top and secure her arm. As the parade was nearing the end the rain started, we had to queue to enter the town square, each participant entering on their own and a member from each Giants team had to mount the steps of the town hall to be presented with a lovely gift from the town of Gravelines. We were all given a superb tea, then started to dismantle a very wet giant and fish. On the ferry home we watched the snow fall, exhausted we chatted about how the day had gone and the wonderful people of Gravelines, As the White Cliff’s of Dover came into view we could see the fields beyond covered in snow, a very pretty sight.

Tom White our Sculptor is a World Record Breaker
March 3rd, 2008

Tom White, the sculptor who Herne Bay Town Partners have commissioned to create a statue of Sir Barnes Wallis for the Cultural Trail will soon be entered into the Guinness Book of Records.
Tom and his local community have built a 122ft Snowwoman.
The story on the “Olympia Snowwoman” (named after U.S. Senator from Maine Olympia Snow) was a follow-up to “Angus the World’s Tallest Snowman” which Bethel in the USA created in 1999 at 113’ and which landed us in the Guinness Book of World Records. Due to some unsuccessful competition from a foreign country to try and top the free-standing snowman, Bethel in the USA decided to beat our own record and put up this 122’2” snowwoman with the help of donations and volunteers from all over the community. This small town of about 2500, but like the “little engine that could” we got it done.
