So, why would I pay 2-6x more to have a holiday rental in Ashford than in Algarve, Brasil or even London?
Apparently Ashford is the new riviera (but without any "real" water body next to it! xD )

Hello there, and welcome to my personal web page/blog!

My name is Manuel Marques, and I’m a lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent (United Kingdom). I am also a researcher in the Applied Optics Group at the same institution. My work lies mostly in the area of Applied Optics, namely white light interferometry and its two/three-dimensional variant, optical coherence tomography.

Outside work I'm a keen runner/sculler/rower/cyclist, and I do enjoy being in the outdoors (photographing them is a bonus, too!). Other hobbies include tinkering with things, both big and small (not always with a positive outcome, I must say), travelling, reading, in no specific order.

I’m on Flickr, too…
