[My Town]

Yes - on Senlac Hill!

 

That's all that most people do - hardly anyone stops here - -some though do catch up with wartime memories, which is understandable. Except the asylum seekers - there's lots of those!

The town is mainly dependant on the Port of Dover, Hoverspeed (probably going soon0 and the nearby equally struggling Eurotunnel.

 

Having said that I couldn't live inland - there is something about living by the sea

[My Town]

I have lived in 2 of the most famous towns in English history.

 

I originally come from Hatings - the town where English history was to be changed forever! Infact the Battle of Hastings actually happened about 8 miles away in the village of Battle, on the site of Battle Abbey where Harold is meant to have been slain. Hastings is now a bustling and spawling tourist town. It has a really quaint Old Town with houses at least 500-600 years old. It also boasts one of the largest fishing fleets and is still managing to survive -just. As a child my parents used to buy their fish as it was landed - a custom which I have upheld to this day wherever I live or holiday.

 

Once I got married I moved to a village near Dover -rolling White Cliffs (well really greyish), about 50 miles away. The Port is one of the busiest in the world - we are frquently gridlocked with lorries trying to get to the continant - especially when the French are on strike for one thing or another! (& that can be often!). We are however, blessed with lots of countryside around us which is great for walking and clearing the lungs.
