Developments, new MP and birthdays....
Yes I know nothing new is going on this blog very often these days. Is it inertia? Lack of interest, fewer comments indicating that readers are more interested in twitter, facebook, snapchat and, for all I know tinder and grinder (not that I have a clue what they all are) I have to feel motivated enough by a topic to get the urge to write about it and at the moment that's for sure. The big story of the moment is still, without doubt, the success of the new Tonbridge Through Ten Centuries History book. It's about to be reprinted because of its huge success; the first print run of 1,000 having sold out within the first month since publication. Mr. Books alone has sold around 250 in that time. There are of course many developments being built or at the planning stage such as the one next to Waitrose and the Cannon Lane waterside one. I heard a rumour only yesterday that the River Centre is to be pulled down and another development is to be put up there. There's also the huge housing development on the old Siemens site near the Porsche dealership. Oh, and apparently there's a general election coming up so Tonbridge is to have a new MP after the retirement of Sir John after 41 years of serving the town.

Congratulations to MR Books on your 10 years in business.
The Milky Bars are on you then!
It's beginning to look as though I am the only reader of your blog. I am certainly the only contributor, at present!
To get regular readers of a blog the blogger has to post every few days and not just once a month and also to engage in conversation.
True, anonymous, but it also depends on the subject of the posts. I tend to post a couple of times a week on my own blog. The response, judged by the number of comments the post attracts, varies considerably, depending of course on the topic. The record, so far this year is 25 comments and 509 viewings, but there are others which have attracted no responses. http://baileysbeerblog.blogspot.co.uk/
MR Books does need to decide whether he wishes to keep the Tonbridge Blog going, because, as you so rightly point out, once a month is nowhere near enough to keep the interest going.
Come off people it's only a local blog it was never meant to be the next Huffington Post! Sometimes we creative folk don't feel the urge to write anything but, the nature of the blogosphere is that you can dip in and out. There always a new kid on the block as well which gives everyone more choice. I'd rather write something decent than burble on just to make sure I post three times a week. Quality not quantity and all that. As the captcha symbol says below: "I'm not a robot!!"
I like the blog - please keep it going
