New? In Eastry?

A Memory of Eastry.

This new housing estate was built pre the broadcasting of the soap-series The Newcomers. That programme was a soapie but dealt with the theme of newcomers settling in and being accepted. Was it 'keep yourself to yourself' or mixing in? A bit of each. These people I imagine had proper cars (the latest Toyota) and proper office jobs. We carried on at the mushroom farm or picked hops or picked up and sorted out blighty potatoes. We all end up in the Eastry Church graveyard in the end - it makes no odds. "Oh, Eastry, a dream come true! Get those muddy boots off!"
