Bright sunshine here in Dover but the forecast is for a maximum of 13 C, three degrees colder than back home! And it's windier here too 8 m/s versus 5 m/s.
Here's the view from my rather dusty hotel window. Looks pretty rural
But here's the view from a different angle. I'm only five minutes drive from the ferry terminal in Dover, efinitely inth town

As I wandered around the streets of Dover I came across a procession between the civic offices and the Maison Dieu. It's St George's Day of course but that's not the significance. It was the annual commemoration of the Zeebrugge raid.
It was quite moving in a rather disconcerting way. We don't really have much like it in Norway.
200 killed, 400 wounded, eleven VCs awarded. Such bravery, but such a waste of life.
