Thank you for sharing your journey, Gentle Author. The final photograph is wonderful, with its contrast of weathered wood and huts and brightly coloured lobster pots. Your picture of the terminal at Dover brought good memories: Gil and I took the ferry from Dover to France on our honeymoon in 1955. If I come home next year to see the bluebells at Sturry again, I should like to follow your path on this beautiful walk on the cliffs from Dover to Deal.

All the times we have visited England we have never stopped to enjoy this area. I do recall seeing these impressive cliffs while approaching Dover by ferry from Calais. I can only imagine the feeling standing near the edge as if to take flight on the updraft!

Thank you for this beautiful photo essay. I almost feel as if I got to walk it with you.

I love that little sea gull-themed café — Let’s all meet there.
What a wonderful enticing evocative post.
Without ever leaving my chair, I’ve been somewhere special this morning.
Thanks, GA!
Come on over and we will show you around the Hudson River Valley someday. It would
be our pleasure.

The lovely photos and the descriptions really bring your walk along the cliff path alive GA, thank you for bringing such pleasure to a horrible grey Monday morning in Colchester, Britain’s First City.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, thanks for sharing your mini holiday with your readers. I love that part of England.

Great description – “The undulating nature of the cliff exposed impressive deep chasms, faced with sheer walls of chalk, descending hundred of feet to the water below, inducing a sense of giddy exhilaration tinged with vertigo. The dark clouds were behind me and a warm wind was in my face, and the French coast gleamed in the sunlight twenty-three miles across the sparkling sea.”

The new statue is so realistic and I always enjoy seeing the red poppies wreaths that surrounded it.

Wonderful piece…
