Dover and Deal

Hey yall. Over the weekend we decided to hire a car and headed down to the south east coast of mother England. Dover town was nice, but not as overwhelming as the White Cliffs of Dover. We had a great time walking along the most unsafe and unfenced cliffs. The views were great! When I mentioned our trip to Mum, she started singing me a song which included the words "the white cliffs of dover". It was a good performance, and added weight to the importance of our trip. We sampled some fish and chips and then proceeded north up to Deal castle. We enjoyed a humorous audio tour of one of the castles that was built to defend England after King Henry displeased Rome by breaking from the Roman Catholic Church, and installed himself as the Head of the new Anglican Church.

I'm glad that you guys had such a great time "looking over the white cliffs of Dover" ....but I just felt a great urge to pull you back out of danger. Must be just me and heights. Anyway, keep having the time of your life and stay healthy and safe. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Aunty Ann. Don't worry, we all felt a little surprised afterwards that we were so disrespectful of the obvious dangers of those cliffs. Hindsights a funny thing. Hope you guys are well also.
