Folkstone Harbour and
The white cliffs of Dover.
The memorial to "The Battle of Britain" on top of the cliffs.
A Spitfire
This is the time of year when the battle took place, early August 1940, and we took a day trip with Rosabel into nearby Sandwich where the market place was taken over by a World War 2 theme.
"Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler if you think old Englands done?"
"We are the boys who will stop your little game"
"Tally-ho chaps!"
The Yanks are here!
Sandwich is also famous for "The Royal St George Golf Club" home to the recent British Open.
and lots of very old buildings.
and the odd eccentrics!
The next day we visit DOVER CASTLE
The castle was built in the 1100's by Henry II who controlled a large part of Europe
Lady Catherine of Scotland (a Norman) had to appear in front of the king to settle a dispute over land with a Saxon!
The outcome had to be decided by a group of 12 knights. One of the Knights is trying to disguise the fact that his gender is in doubt!
Hopefully Henrys people are not watching! I'm on his throne.
A couple of last minute photos with Rosabel in her cottage at Deal then we are off to Brugge (Bruges) in Belgium.
