WELCOME

to Nick Hudd's page

With a Kentish mother and Yorkshire/Kent father, I was born on 11th October 1945 in Essex. Living in the Basildon/Thurrock area all my childhood, they don't come much more "Essex Man" than me, though all my family connections were, and are, in Kent. I've been a West Ham supporter in football, and Kent cricket fan, just about since I could take notice, which says it all!

I now live in Tenterden, Kent, in countryside familiar to me since boyhood.
