Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases,
poverty ....
The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every
day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us
a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel
depressed and weary.
This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more
balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and
enjoy in life ...

The Dover Castle, spectacularly situated above the White Cliffs, has guarded the shore from invasion for over 20 centuries.

The view from St. Margaret´s Bay is rather spectacular

The Deal castle, built on the orders of King Henry VIII, is one of the finest Tudor artillery castles in England
Deal has a marvellous beach, which can be enjoyed even in November
PS
During the war years the song "The White Cliffs of Dover" was very popular in Britain:
